Hi all,
Well I don't think I've finalised a menu this early. Almost 24 hours in advance. It helps that I visited the Dewlay Cheese shop in Garstang and got some great inspiration! We have a full house tomorrow with 39 diners attending. There are now 4 choices from each course for £15 for 3 courses plus coffee, I'll make the most popular 2 from each course regulars on the menu with 2 specials each month.
Starters:
Cheese on toast. Dewlay goats cheese toasted and served with a rhubarb and horseradish chutney. I had this for lunch today and the goats cheese was amazing.
Soup of the day. This will be homemade roast tomato and red pepper with a good dose of roasted garlic and served with artisan bread.
Homemade smoked mackerel pate. There are no fresh mussels available on the dock tomorrow so going to make a luxurious pate instead.
Garlic mushrooms. A mix of wild and button mushrooms in a white wine and cream sauce and served with a good sized slice of bread to soak up all those juices.
Mains:
Steak, egg and chips. Sirloin minute steak served with a fried duck egg and triple cooked goose fat chips.
Fish pie. A mix of haddock, smoked haddock, salmon and prawns and coated in creamy mash potato. Served with seasonal greens
Lamb Shank. Slow braised lamb cooked in a sumptuous red wine sauce and served on a bed of mash with seasonal greens.
Chicken en papillote. Chicken breast stuffed with mozzarella and fresh herbs, cooked in a paper bag to lock in the flavour.
Desserts:
Selection of 4 Dewlay Lancashire Cheeses: Garstang blue, Smoked Lancashire, Crumbly Lancs and Special reserve Lancs. Went up to the shop in Garstang to buy these hope they get your vote to feature every month!
Melting chocolate fondant.
Syrup sponge and custard
Hot cross bun bread and butter pudding. This went down so well last time it is making a return, and it is nearly Easter.
If you want to come along then just let me know, reservations being taken NOW.
See you all soon.
Dan
