Star is shining
It was lovely to see the Leamington Courier when they popped in for Sunday lunch last week. Reporter Sundari Cleal was with her family for a spot of lunch.
We loved her review so much we’ve decided to share some of the best bits with you here – see what they thought!
For starters – “Baked golden Cenarth cheese with truffle honey… the cheese is, true to promise, glistening, golden and mouth-watering to the eye. It comes with two slices of pear and some elegant slices of fruit toast and is absolutely delicious, the savoury tang of the cheese and strong flavour of truffle complemented well by the sweet fruit and crisp toast.”
For mains – “My husband has absolutely no complaints about his hearty but stylishly presented Sunday lunch; the beef is cooked on the rarer side as he requested, the Yorkshire pudding achieves that perfect balance of light and airy yet crispy as well, the potatoes are fluffy and not greasy – and by the time his plate is squeaky clean, he is one full man.”
The puds – “I opt for the lighter iced coffee and amaretto parfait with amaretti biscuit, while my husband chooses the classic pub pud of sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream. Both are gorgeous and despite being full, we have no regrets about forging on with a third course.”
The verdict? “Anyone who scans this new menu can see that the pub’s head chef Jakub Fijak likes to use British produce and sustainable fish and has managed to create a good balance of traditional pub fare and modern dishes for a variety of diets and tastes….. With friendly and highly efficient service and a relaxed and very family-friendly atmosphere, this is a pub I will certainly keep going back to.”
Thank you for a fab review! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
