AUTUMN & WINTER // Seasonal Plates

So as we work our way through these darker months we’ll continue to create menus from what is genuinely best in-season produce. We are now well into Winter and with it a new feel to our dishes, our plates will be showcasing warmer, heartier and often richer dishes. The lead up to Christmas will also see us including some delicious and traditionally festive elements… bread sauce anyone?

The fire will be on, Penny has worked her magic with the decorations and Dec & Mathilda will be introducing some wintery cocktails into the mix too - from a blackcurrant fizz to coffee creme, you’ll have the perfect evening accompaniment!

Fancy starting off with a small plate? Treat yourself to a lamb rack, sumac onions, chilli oil, cumin yogurt with a sprinkling of zaatar. One of our favourite seasonal, organic dishes is warm beetroot, figs and a drizzle of honey, on a bed of whipped fetish, sprinkled over with chopped hazelnuts.

As we move onto mains, expect to see dishes such as pressed swede with king oyster mushrooms, cavolo nero and a sprinkling of pangritata for you to tuck into beside our wood-burning fireplace. If you fancied a more mindful-meat dish to go alongside a glass of organic Corbiere, our Rhug Estate bavette steak sits on a bed of green peppercorn sauce, roasted onions, watercress. Our take on the traditional festive roasted carrots? Add a dill cremé fraîche, with a sprinkling of za’atar!

For the sweet tooth, the autumnal taste of star anise pannacotta is ready to share with a pear, apple and walnut cake and a scoop of coconut yoghurt as the perfect treat. Or perhaps our chocolate cremeux, salted caramel and a sprinkling of hazlenuts … yum!
