Tasting tasty

So last night we had the 8-course tasting menu and Husband had the accompanying wine-tasting menu. Yes, eight glasses but "only small ones" he insists. Unlike Slice the Beach House doesn't describe the dishes on the menu other than saying the main ingredient. The waiter tells you when he serves it so, I have absolutely no idea what anything in the pictures is apart from the meat. I do recall him saying there was pickled onion jelly in something but what it was is beyond me. 

We had two amuse bouche, the first one in the image was sharp, a palate-cleanser maybe, and the little ball thing was cheese in a thin crust, and there was seaweed bread.

It was a very game-focussed menu as you can see. I'll see what I can remember. Top line on right, first course, Jerusalem artichoke soup with quail egg and something on the side.

Middle line, from left, sewin in a froth, then partridge, then hare meat and mousse wrapped in something with cauliflower, mushroom, and cavolo nero, deer or venison as I prefer to think of it.

Bottom line, lamb, parsnip and sprout leaf, white chocolate mousse with yuzu sorbet, bara brith souffle with English breakfast tea ice cream

I had to google yuzu to find it was an Asian citrus fruit. My favourite was the sewin, Husband's was the lamb, which was delicious I agree.

Once again appalled at what we paid for a meal for two when people are struggling but am thankful we can afford it thanks to Husband's years of hard work.

While we were dining out in style Peter Pan was happening on the other side of town. Apparently it went brilliantly. We, all the family, are going next Friday but I can't wait so I'm going with Elder Son, their dad, this afternoon too.
