A bit arch, perhaps.

Short-lived, late '90s, London:

Tarte tartin of rabbit and pears

Skate, celeriac remoulade deep-fried squid

Crepinette of lamb shoulder, bean puree.

Poached fruits with vanilla panna cotta.

The Skate, celeriac remoulade deep-fried squid reminds me of a recipe from a Stephan Bull book I once had which someone nicked, so with a little help from google on Stephan Bull I would say Blanford Street.

No.

I don't think anyone's going to get this actually. It was a place called Gabriel's in Golden Square, themed on Heaven and Hell. The chef, whose name escapes me, was ex Koffman, MPW, Richard Neat. The food was quite good, but it was a financial disaster and lasted less than six months I think.

It was a great place - the fig tarte was particularly good, if I remember.

As the previous was a no result, if nobody minds, ill put this forward. Based partly on what i had there a few years ago, very loosely, and what i would choose if i went back, which i'd like to think i will.

-----------

A salad of home-smoked duck with pickled carrots and a five spice syrup

Best end of Herdwick lamb with potato fondant, confit swede, shallot purée and a rosemary jus

Pavé of Valrhona chocolate with blood orange sorbet

Steamed monkfish "scampi" with minestrone sauce

Tuna fish steak with bitter red wine onions

bread and butter pudding

Sounds awful. Must be Gary Rhodes.

Okay. After 18 pages I think it's time for a wildcard round.

Instead of three entire courses, here's a single ingredient from a single dish. Name the restaurant:

Pike.

pike boudin on the menu is my guess and the restaurant is le cafe anglais

Yup. Ten points. (Put "pike boudin" into Google and the first 35 hits are all reviews of Cafe Anglais, incidentally.)

Anyway, normal service resumes with you, Mr McMayon.

Identify the Chef, and ideally the date and place (its in his book)

Lobster Mayonnaise

Scotch Baron of Beef

Lettuce hearts

Peaches Cardinal
