Crisp potato galette, roasted vegetables, Eldren cheese, pesto cream, balsamic


Here is a vegetarian dish i have recently designed for the bistro menu. It is an easy pick up for that service demand and is also very tasty and hits the mark for a non meat eater as it is non of the usual suspect dishes that you find everywhere you go.
So far great respaonce from the vegetable massive!

Bursting with flavour


Here is a dish recently from a du jour menu when i was covering in the restaurant. It is a fun cool, colourul presentation with a twist. The vinaigrette is inside the orb! I saw this dressing idea a while ago(although i cant remember where), and wanted to try it. I do like the fact that the guest will observe the plate and think "WTF" and then burst the ball and season the dish.

The dish is a New forest partridge salad with French beans, beetroot dusted with beetroot, smoked maple syrup, pickled apple vinaigrette.


This is me plating the main course from that week. Beef fillet en croute, roasted vegetables, and trio of red wine sauces.
