Pea velouté, chive crème fraiche, summer truffle shavings (v)
Fillet of seatrout, pappardelle, artichoke, sage cream, burnt caper dressing
Breast of chicken, crushed Jersey Royals, chicken ballotine tarragon cream, sorrel oil

Three standout dishes from our Piedmont evening this week:

Bonet alla Piemontese

Piedmontese cuisine is the style of cooking in the Northern Italian region of Piedmont. Bordering France and Switzerland, Piedmontese cuisine is partly influenced by French cuisine.

The Slow Food Movement started in Piedmont by Carlo Petrini who was from the town of Bra, Piedmont. The movement greatly benefited the region by highlighting Piedmont's diverse cuisine. The Piedmontese town of Alba is known for its gourmet food and of course famed for Alba White Truffles, fetching between £2,500-£5250/kg at auction.

We have spaces available for our Nose to Tail evening next Wednesday...

Nose-to-tail cookery is where a chef aims to incorporate as much of an animal as possible into their menu, thus reducing waste. This sometimes involves butchering whole carcasses on-site. It allows for fuller utilisation of an animal often with tasty but neglected cuts. It can command a greater level of skill and creativity and importantly it is a vital component in sustainable cookery.

Seabream ceviche

The seasoning we used last night included star anise, cinnamon, clove, citrus peel, chilli, oregano, thyme to name a few!

Barbecued beef rump asado
A beautiful piece of rump cap, or picanha as it's known in Brazil, is the most prized cut of meat often the star of the show of an open barbecued meat, asado. Accompained by the ubiquitous South American punchy herby, garlicky green sauce chimichurri.

Vegan Indian 'Revisited' Evening, Wednesday 18th October

In April 2022 a young Professional Chef Diploma Level 2 chef by the name of Kayne Mathers devised and executed a fantastic vegan Indian menu in competition with his peers, as part of his programme of study. The night was a resounding sucess, with great customer feedback.

Fast forward to the here and now and Kayne is on the cusp of completing his Level 3 apprenticeship, in a supporting chef role in the Fletchers kitchen. To celebrate his successful tenure and development at Fletchers, Kayne will be revisiting his Vegan Indian menu to 'remix, revamp and reimagine' those dishes utilising techniques and knowledge he has learned throughout his journey to really deliver on flavour. It was good last time but it promises to be even better this time!

So whether you are a wholly plant based, a part timer flexitarian or an all out meat eater this is one not to be missed! Join us on Weds 18th Oct...
