Restaurant Story

With a whopping total of 22 course and a picture of every one, apart from one. So 21 photos of just the meal, this could take a while. I must say this now, I can't remember the details of everything as there were so many courses and I forgot to take a notepad!

First thing to arrive on our tables was crispy cod skin, smoked cod roe emulsion, carrot tops and botanicals.

Radishes filled with kelp butter and Malden salt.

Flowers with something incredibly tasty in them!

Storeos (the biscuit was squid ink) 

Then this lovely candle was popped on the table and after reading a review on The Londoners blog I knew what it was.

Razor clams with champagne snow

Pork blood with apple (black pudding with Apple and Apple jelly... Stuff on top)

Rabbit sandwich

Then our amazing waiter came back and asked if we would like the six course or ten course menu. All ten for us please! 

So on to our table came a whole loaf of bread cut into six and a huge pot of relish. And what did we do with this bread, dipped it in the candle of course! No, we are not crazy and we do not often dip our bread in candles, but this candle was actually the dripping! Beef dripping to be precise and it tasted amazing, I've never had more fun the eating bread with a beef dripping candle!

Next, Onion, apple and old tom

Scallops, cucumber and dill ash (one of my favourites)

Heritage potato, asparagus and coal (another one of my favourites)

Crab, smoked leek, rapeseed, pear and lovage

Raw beef, apple and Perigold truffle (joint first place with the fois gras, later on)

Wild stems, squid and pine honey

Lamb, grilled salad and sheeps yoghurt (another favourite)

Foie gras, pear and sorrel, this came first place and was my favourite (joint with the raw beef)

Palette cleanser, of rapeseed ice cream and I do believe the rest was rapeseed too!

Hay, prune and cereal (with milk added at the table)

Almond and dill

Rhubarb and custard layered drinks

Tea cakes

This meal was truly amazing and I don't think I've ever been to a place with better service. Our waiter, Matteo, was the best waiter I've ever had. He was so lovely and treated us well for the whole 4 hours we spent there! He was truly amazing. 

In total there were 22 courses, I forgot to take a picture of the cheeseboard, because I wolfed that down so quickly you couldn't even have blinked in the time, let alone take a picture. If you didn't know already, I love cheese! 

Do not forget to take a book, write a note inside and leave it there!
