£47 tasting menu, not bad. Nothing blew our minds. Everyone loved the bread - we were all starving I guess.
--amuse bouche--
Oak smoked cod roe on rye cracker - my highlight of the meal
Crispy chicken feet - meh, would prefer pork crackling. I call gimmick.
Artichoke - not bad.
--courses--
Bream sashimi with satsuma, celery and cob nuts - nuts added nothing to flava just bland crunch - sashimi was wonderful.
squid, tarragon and green radishes - warm but crunchy mandolin-ed radishes were great. well seasoned and perfectly cooked squid.
nice mallard, pumpkin (boring, take the skin off!), juniper, turnip tops (bit bitter)
--desert--
ewes milk mousse with berries and a biscuit - nothing outstanding, fine
Poached pear william, chestnut, honey granita - all separately amazing. Put together - trying too hard to capture "Autumn just before Winter". Chestnut was kinda warm, pear - there was too little of it to make an impact, granita I wondered how it stayed solid on the warm chestnut.
tl:dr - wouldn't pay £47 for tasting menu
