Menu Changes are a'comin'.

Actually, they are already here.  This is a great thing.  By Kate

I am on holiday.  Only theoretically at this stage since it appears that I am still working but I am trying (and mainly failing) to feel no bitterness at the fact that my precious 4 days off are now more like 3. 

It doesn’t matter.  Dartmouth is just outside and still will be tomorrow and we have a new menu!  Not all brand new – it has just very recently undergone a profound change, after all; just more tweaks and twiddles which are sending it ever further in the right direction.   Plenty more vegetarian dishes and more small, snacky things as well as proper big meals.

 

This will be supplemented with daily specials – one of which I had with Dad this week. We were both speechless with how delicious it was.  Also, we really didn’t want to talk because eating was too damn good.   Whole Bream with fennel and potatoes – cooked to perfection and completely lovely.

 

When we had finally finished, there was literally nothing left except bones and the tail.  NOTHING.  Not even the head.  I spoke then and said to Dad

 

“I am so unbelievably happy that we have just eaten this meal in my bar”.

 

And the memory of quite how happy I was almost makes up for working now.  Almost.

 

Here it is then.  You should come in soon and try it.  We will be matching great wines with the daily specials as well so you really will have the time of your life.
