The menu is a mix of pub style favourite, historic British recipe revivals & in true Heston style some more unusual dishes. We had a lovely evening, the staff were great, the restaurant was gorgeous & the food was delicious. In true food blogger style I took pictures of everything & thought I'd share them with you. Sorry not the best quality, but you get the idea :-)
So we started with a drink in the bar & this was not your average G&T! Mare is a Mediterranean Gin infused with olives, thyme, basil & rosemary. It's served with the usual tonic plus a generous chunk of orange & a sprig of rosemary as your swizzle stick! The flavours are quite subtle but it's delicious.
For my starter I chose Pommes Dorres' Pork Meat Fruit, Apple, Boar Salami & Grilled Bread. It looked like a work of art!
I wasn't quite sure what the to expect when I cut into that gorgeous glossy little apple, it was actually an apple jelly filled with delicious pork.
For my main I went with a traditional (some may say boring?) steak, it came served with triple cooked chips & a bone marrow sauce, we also went for a side of baby spinach with pine nuts & parmesan. It was incredible, quite possibly the best steak I've ever had!
Dessert was a Spiced Chocolate Wine 'Slush' with Millionaires Shortbread. By this point I was beside myself with excitement & was maybe making my OH feel a little embarrassed at my picture taking & general over enthusing!
I even got this little card with my pud to explain the origins of chocolate wine.
I thoroughly enjoyed our evening at The Hinds Head & would highly recommend it for a visit. Maybe next we can graduate to The Fat Duck which is only a couple of doors away. Thanks M! Dinner from my kitchen this evening is going to be dull in comparison, oh well, till next time, Rebecca x
