Father’s Day

Father’s Day

Treat Dad on Sunday, June 15th with a special 3 course menu for just £19.95 per person. I have two children and it sometimes feel like a second-class citizen. Not all the time, but when it comes to Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, I’m definitely not in the first class compartment. I know I’m not alone. I can tell by my reservations that for Mother’s Day, the phone consistently rings weeks before the event. Father’s Day, much more of a mad rush the week before. A second-class thought. Do we get such a raw deal? Or is it just me? No, it can’t be… Put it in your diary early and treat your dad this year. It’s the 15th of June. We’ll be open in the Brasserie from 12pm until 6pm. -Paul Click here to book online now or call 01772 806543  Menu Celeriac soup, kinderton ash goats cheese (v) Heathcotes blackpudding fritters, braised lettuce in mustard, poached egg Summer truffled artichoke & new potato salad (v) Dill, salt and whisky cured salmon, radish, chicory and lemon Mini platter – Cauliflower fritters, curry mayonnaise sprats in a glass and crostini chicken liver pate *** Roast sirloin of 42 day aged beef, Yorkshire pudding, chive mash, dauphinoise potatoes, fine beans Lamb mint “rag pudding” smoked creamed potato, steamed broccoli Roast Goosnargh chicken, onion puree, wild mushrooms, chicken skin crackling , sauté potatoes, spring cabbage Asparagus, champ potatoes, duck egg, vine tomatoes, chervil sauce Cod nuggets, chips, mushy peas and tartar sauce *** Heathcotes bread & butter pudding Summer pudding, thick vanilla cream Strawberries and cream, scone crumb, meringues Chocolate pots with honeycomb...
