Food was beautifully presented. Portions were adequate for our table, as we were all over sixty, though had I been younger I would have felt short changed, I remember visiting a restaurant in the 1980 s after a days farming during the nouvelle cuisine fad and having to stop by the local chip shop on the way home, such things live long in the memory. Relatively cheap items like bread rolls with starters can help with this, though I guess they carry the risk that you may sell fewer desserts. My First course, the dried meat was fine, though I was a little taken aback by the somewhat confusing array of flavours which to my old fashioned pallet seemed to lack harmony, this discomfort was even greater with my main course, the sausage meat en croute so loud was the collision between the star anise the fruit jam that the flavour of the sausage meat was lost completely, the pastry could have been filled with porridge for all the impact it had on the dish. Loved the doughnuts.
