Was in Barcelona a few weeks ago and had the tasting menu there on my first night, absolutely fantastic place, highly recommended.

You're up Scott.

Where else did you go? I prefer Hisop in central Barcelona for a well priced modern tasting menu experience.

[YKL]

winteringham fields?

[Gary Marshall]

blacksmiths inn, westow

[Scottf]

Well done Gary, how did you get that?

[Gary Marshall]

I used to write a lot of the menus

Oddly it didn;t leap at me the pheasant sausage roll and the east coast cod gave it away for me. it was also a bit of a mix of garnish, the pheasant sausage roll was with a pheasant main originally so we must have had a few spare! and i think we only had tarte tatin on for a few days so.

sounds good though!

will have a think about a menu...

[Gary Marshall]

calf's sweetbreads with potato and olive cake

saddle of venison with fresh goats cheese gnocchi

iced nougat parfait

[bakerestates]

Shaun Hill, Merchant House, Ludlow

[ben mcmayon]

shaun hill walnut tree!!

[Bapi]

Come on Gary- you can do better than that !

[Gary Marshall]

yes, it was shaun hill at the merchant house.

if i picked what i'd actually ordered it would have been harder, though oddly enough the starter and dessert were on both of my menus which were seperated by a good few years, when i first went to the MH, claire bosi was FOH, and the last visit was just before it closed, with bapi.
