  Foodie Heaven. This place is amazing – I went with my partner (a very difficult to please foodie!) and had the tasting menu. We are fortunate enough to have eaten in some of the finest restaurants in the country (2 & 3 stars included) and this little gem is up there with the best!The meal started with a delicious potato & garlic amouse bouche. Then carried onto amazing hand dived scallops (a proper portion too!) with pork belly. Next came a beef assiette – something I would never have choosen myself but it was fantastic…. and clear that the chef has a wicked sense of humor! Then we had the halibut, with a shellfish cassoulet – my partner loves cassoulet (& makes a mean one himself) but this was truely to die for. Tequila sorbet with a salt biscuit – tasted more like tequila than tequila does! The main course was the softest venision with a raspberry & chocolate sauce (I am now running out of adjectives to describe how good this meal was..!). Then for dessert… White chocolate mousse, strawberry spheres and peppercorn crunchie – mind blowing! Apparently the chef had done a stage at the Fat Duck, well he definately picked up a trick or two! Then the final course a dessert assiette to share – at this point I died and went to heaven – it was incredible… brulee, fondant, parfait, marshmallow – Orgasmic!!The restaurant itself is calm and relaxing and the waitresses are knowledgeable & friendly. But what about the bill I here you ask… 150 which included a very good bottle wine – and it felt like the best value for money meal we’d had in a very long time!And my partners opinion – satisfied silence (well until the reminising started… he’s been going on about it ever since!)
