A group of 4 of us went for Sunday Lunch. I was the only one who opted for a starter on a 2 course fixed price menu. I ordered the belly pork. When it arrived, it looked great. However, the fat wasn't rendered enough on the cut to produce crackling and the gelatinous fat that was left was unpleasant. The piece I had also had hardly any meat on it, it was mostly unrendered fat. The accompaniments were lovely and well executed. The mains were exceptionally good. Each person had meat, mine was beef, which was beautifully cooked. The vegetables were well cooked and the carrot was something else. All plates were left clean at the end. As I had a starter, the other 3 people in my group opted for dessert. Again, each arrived well presented and tasted great. The different ice cream pairings were inspired. All in all, a good meal & perhaps next time I'll choose more wisely.
