Ok heres the deal....i pick one starter, one main course and one dessert from the menu of a mystery restaurant...all you got to do is name the restaurant.I think the price might be a good idea too, as it well help narrow the search.Maybe the winner can set the next menu?

2nds out...round one

( and its not my place, that would be stupid :wacko: )

Pressed Terrine of Ham Hock,New Potato Salad and Local Leafs (sic) £6.00

Fillet of Scotch Beef on the Bone, Bone Marrow Butter, Red wine and Shallot Sauce £17.50

Hot Bitter Chocolate Fondant, Banana Ice-Cream (baked to order) £4.50

What a great idea :smile:

The clue, of course, is in the sic :raz:

Mainly to get myself posted out of being a new memebr, I'm gonna give this a try. Somehow the style of at least two of the courses, and the prices, and the mis-spelling, and the dessert "baked to order" reminds me of ....

St John ?

OK, who's next ? :laugh:

Damn, I am on the wrong side of the pond to know the menu well enough from the fine establishments who show their prices in Pounds and not Dollars.

Although I would love to know how that main dish tastes!

Terrine of Ham Hock is a Terry Leybourne sig dish, so could this be Cafe 21 in Newcastle?

Edit : no way is it St John, its too descriptive by half for Mr Henderson.

Total shot in the dark.......Sevens restaurant in Truro. On the basis that its down your way and chef kevin Viner used to have a Michelin Star.

Is this menu even online? If not, it's rather difficult for people that don't live in the area to have even the slightest chance. :blink:

Could it be The Vanilla Pod, in Marlow?

Just a guess backed by some tedious internet research... :unsure:

No the menu is not online...wheres the fun in that? :biggrin:

I don't think this restaurant has a web site.

I thought this might be a challenge, so hes a big clue...it has a Michelin Star

Not the Vanilla Pod either

edit PS maybe i should have posted this on the UK board, other areas can start there own game?

Any mod wanted to shift this , carry on

Chez Bruce... or stagg inn?

That price point for a michelin star would cut the field down quite a lot - can't think of many stars with six quid starters

More importantly how does fillet on the bone work? Haven't seem it done this way before. Anyone know what goes?
