We say it every time but wow have we really pulled it out of the bag. Sharing platters seem to be your favourite (although we’re not completely sure how much sharing is going on) so let’s see what we have in store until Friday 21st February. Just to note, Valentines day has been sold out for a good while but these specials will be around for a couple of weeks so there’s still lots of opportunity to bring the one you love to try them.
If it’s time for popping bubbles for you, then our featured Sommelier’s Choice is the Tattinger Prestige Rose Champagne – a delicate salmon pink in colour, velvety wine of balance and body. A harmony of flavours to compliment the harmony of your love (aawww). Share a bottle with your meal, or choose something from our fantastic wine list if bubbles isn’t your thing.
A huge BDE specials menu for you this time so let’s get started. All designed to share but really we’re not forcing you to… starting with the Figurati Piatto Misto Di Carne – slow cooked spiced beef, grilled focaccia, crispy pork belly, leek & pancetta arancini plus carbonara balls. Definitely a meatier option! If you’re more into fish, we have another plate for you, the Figurati Piatto Di Frutti Di Mare – steamed mussels, grilled prawns, calamari fritti, smoked Chalk Stream Trout (gfo). The perfect mix of different flavours and textures plus there’s enough to cover a big appetite!
Moving onto some of our other dishes, the Rosemary & Garlic Studded Camembert with home baked focaccia and red onion marmalade, might just be better than whatever plans you had for after dinner….. If you love cheese then this will be the only threesome you’ll need this date night. But if you’re really going for the win, why not have the 16oz Chateaubriand to share (plus an add-on for prawns if you want to surf-and-turf) with roasted marinated mushrooms, plum tomatoes, crispy onion rings, Figurati Fries, watercress, red wine jus & peppercorn sauce. Realistically do you need anything else or shall we just *mic drop*.
And if that wasn’t enough, there’s more. You shouted and we heard you, the Lobster Ravioli is here with shellfish sauce and the popular samphire should go down a real treat but sadly this one isn’t to share. If you wanted another fish option, the Fish Mixed Grill to share is the one to go to. Similar to the Figurati Piatto above just with different ingredients, so basically completely different. With seabass, cod, trout, baked scallops, herb crushed potatoes, lemon & dill butter sauce, courgette, tomatoes & spinach. You might not be snogging mid-dinner but you’ll have the best tastes in your mouth from Chef Nick, lovingly delivered straight to your mouth.
Making sure you both finish well, our Dolce D’amore, a platter of our famous desserts to share! The chocolatey goodness with all the sweet ice cream you could want. So have we tickled your pink bits? Let’s hope so! And if you’re not heading to us for a Valentines meal and just fancy demolishing one of these by yourself, literally none of us are judging you because we demolished them all after we took photos.
Happy love day, hope to pleasure you soon.
