I got all excited about that hedge of figs crowned with the fritter ... until I realized that was at The Ledbury. That pigeon looks particularly good and interesting. The grapes "decorating" that cheese plate is just laughable. I'm glad to hear a positive word on Marcus Wareing; thanks for the report. ← Yes I do not know why people insist on putting crappy grapes on cheese plates, but those were great compared to the ones on my wife's plate

I recently went for dinner at Marcus Wareing's and really enjoyed it. It was the first time sampling his cooking, (never made it to Petrus) and I though it was bang on, very clean flavours, very simple actually. I thought the service was also good, attentive but not overly fussy and they didn't just dump the food and run, the aussie somelier, (who had recently come from chez bruce) was really good. We had a wee tour of the kitchen, didn't meet the main man as he had just went down stairs. He surly has to be knocking on the door of 3 stars.
