Sea Bass | Kohlrabi | Sea Herbs

We brine our Sea bass and then pan fry until the skin is crisp. We serve this alongside Shetland mussels which have been steamed in white wine.

Served with broccoli purée and a fermented kohlrabi fish cream sauce.

We finish this dish with lemon gel, pickled kohlrabi discs, and sea herbs.

This is one of our favourites from both our current Tasting Menu and 4 Course Menu.

Lamb Rump | Asparagus | Mint

Our lamb rump is cooked sous vide until perfectly tender, then pan roasted until the fat is golden and crisp. It’s basted with butter, garlic and rosemary, then finished over the BBQ, carved and brushed with brown butter.

White asparagus is caramelised in a pan with brown butter to bring a nutty, sweet depth of flavour. Potatoes are cooked in lamb fat, garlic and herbs, then pan roasted until golden and crisp.

Served alongside is a green asparagus purée, black garlic purée and a fresh mint gel.
It’s then finished with potato crisps, mint tips and a rich lamb jus.

This dish is currently on our Tasting Menu — and we will be sad to see this one go…
