Hi all,
Well it appears that pop-up restaurants are sweeping the nation and the new thing in dining out. "What are they?" I hear you shout. Well they are restaurant nights in places you didn't expect, exactly like my bistro nights. These are where restaurateurs try out new dishes in one-off specials.
I'd like to think I pioneered this philosophy but I've only been doing them a little over the year so can't take credit.
My bistro nights have evolved slightly, I've increased the cost to make the menu more flexible and increase the options available. They will now cost £15 per head for 3 homemade courses plus fresh coffee (or tea) and you will be able to choose from 4 starters, 4 mains and 4 desserts.
However, 2 from each course will become staples on the menu and it is up to you to choose! There will be voting cards at the next bistro night on Friday 22nd so you can decide what appears each month. The choices will be from every course I've made not just from this months.
The menu for Friday is not yet finalised but at present I have in mind:
Starter:
Soup of some kind
Garlic Mushrooms - a mix of wild and domesticated mushrooms with a bit of "fish flair" making these the most popular starter I have ever done.
Moules a la creme - if I can get some good ones. Served with crusty bread
Mains:
Steak, egg and chips: Sirloin minute steak with a fried duck egg and homemade chunky goose fat chips, may even triple cook them! There is no doubt about it, I will triple cook them.
Fish pie
SPECIAL: I challenged the team to come up with a dish and we will be serving: Barney's Stuffed Chicken en papillotte. This will be a succulent chicken breast stuffed with mozzarella, fresh herbs and lemon cooked and served in a "bag".
Desserts:
Melting chocolate pudding,
We have to see a return of the Hot cross bun bread and butter pudding
Selection of Lancashire Dewlay cheeses direct from their shop in Garstang.
Places are restricted to 40 and their are a few seats left so give me a call / email / text to book.
See you soon.
Dan
