Matthew Norman reviews

Monday, May 09, 2011 - Anne was happy enough with her roast field mushroom, with rocket, Parmesan and pesto. 'Perfectly tasty, but then you can't ruin a mushroom.' Nick thought his seared scallops with chorizo 'a little overcooked and spongy but not bad'. My haggis came deep-fried, sacrificing much of its taste for a crunchy texture, but a beetroot salad lent some vim...The team was split over the main courses. Nick backed the winner - grilled 'haddie', with poached egg and mornay sauce. 'Beautifully presented, old boy, egg intact, fish fresh and delicious, nice creamy sauce, can't fault it,' was his judgment.
