It’s being an interesting week for eating at
least. On Wednesday evening we went to Waters on the Square for dinner and had
the chef’s ‘surprise 5-course menu’. This was:
1. An
amuse of carrot and butternut squash soup.
2. Tian
of crab, smoked mackerel and smoked salmon.
3. Duck
liver ravioli with mushrooms.
4. Blade
of beef with broccoli puree and beans.
5. Dessert
tasting (crème brulée, raspberry smoothie, honey cheesecake, strawberry ice
cream).
Overall, a very nice meal (though I think this
is 4 courses, not five: I’d always argue that an amuse is not a course,
nevertheless very god value for money). They call it 'relaxed bistro dining, but really it seems to be low-end fine dining, if you see what I mean.
Yesterday we went for lunch to The Cottage inthe Wood, Malvern. This was a special lunch to celebrate the golden wedding of
some dear friends. We got to meet other friends of theirs who we’ve heard about
over the years (and liked almost all of them). I’d describe the
food as ‘good hotel restaurant’ in style: you can look on the web to see the
current menu if you’re interested. It was a very nice event to attend, and we
certainly had plenty to eat! (Just had a poached egg on toast for dinner last
night.)
Our builder is coming this afternoon to look at
some proposed alterations we’re planning: removing a chimney breast and
changing a window configuration, so that promises to be interesting. We’ve also
got a kitchen design meeting booked for Sunday afternoon with a company we’re
(currently) quite keen on…
