perfect for picnics and outdoor lunches

Here is next week’s menu, we hope you like it! Remember if you’re having a group of friends for supper, we can always pack your order in larger containers to make the process easier, just let us know.

The weather looks like its brightening up, perfect for picnics and outdoor lunches. We are doing individual picnic hampers for a wedding in August, which has been fun to organise. Its looking like we may be able to get back to Event catering fairly soon, but plan to continue the takeaway for the rest of July. A few of you have got in touch to let us know your going away & therefore wont be ordering, which is nice to know. We are thinking we might have a break from the takeaway in August but start again in September with a fresh Autumn menu.

I have listed the menu below as i know some of you like to share it.

£4.00

MEZZE - PISTACHIO & FETA DIP
This delightful dip comes from Sabrina Ghayour’s ‘Persiana’. Powerful flavours, perfect for nibbling alongside an evening cocktail, a rum old fashioned in our case.

£4.00

MEZZE - YOGHURT FLATBREADS
Perfect for scoping up the above delicacies.
Ingredients (allergens in brackets) - Flour (gluten), Salt, Yeast, Yoghurt (milk), Olive oil
£2.00

MAIN - PAN FRIED HAKE, CLAMS, ASPARAGUS, PEAS, MINT
Not only is this dish light and delicious, but clams have the highest level of vitamin B12 of any other food. You know it’s going to be good and now you know it’s healthy. It’s a Jose Pizarro recipe from his ‘Spanish Flavours’ book. Enjoy with a steaming bowl of saffron, roast garlic, butter and olive oil mashed potatoes.
Ingredients (allergens in brackets) Asparagus, Peas, Olive oil, Shallots, Garlic, Hake (fish), Cockles (mollusc), Fish stock (celery fish crustacean), Parsley, Mint, Salt, Pepper
£11.50

SAFFRON, ROAST GARLIC, BUTTER, OLIVE OIL MASHED POTATO.
This is the racy little Alfa Romeo of mashed potato, it is possible to eat this dish on its own, but it is second to none at soaking up clam juice, or any other juice for that matter.
Ingredients (allergens in brackets) Potato, Butter (milk), Olive oil, Garlic, Saffron, Salt, Pepper
£3.00

MAIN - DUCK LEG CONFIT, FLAGEOLET BEANS
This dish just oozes succulence if that’s technically possible. A classic French recipe, but none the worse for being so. I’ve used Raymond Blanc to inspire the exact ingredients, then added a little Bread and Flowers for highlights. Great with some sautéed summer green vegetables.
Ingredients (allergens in brackets) Duck, Salt, Pepper, Garlic, Bay leaves, Thyme, Flageolet beans, Onion, Bacon, Cloves, Olive oil, Parsley,
£9.50

SIDE - SAUTÉED SUMMER GREEN VEGETABLES
What’s not to like about these delicious crunchy green gems, quickly blanched and lightly sautéed and seasoned.
Ingredients (allergens in brackets) Garlic, Mangetout, Sugar snap peas, Spring greens, French beans, Broad beans, Salt, Pepper, Olive oil
£4.00

MAIN - PUY LENTILS, MANUKA HONEY DRESSING, GRIDDLED RADICCHIO, TOASTED WALNUTS, SHAVED PECORINO. SOFT HERB SALAD
The dish that has converted so many carnivores to vegetarianism, or flexitarianism at least. Bring to an ambient, room temperature and demolish with gusto. It is from Ottolenghi, so reassuringly expensive, although we use 50% manuka and 50% orange blossom to keep the cost down.
Ingredients (allergens in brackets) Lentils, Bay leaves, Honey, Chilli flakes, Turmeric, Salt, Pepper,
Vinegar (sulphur dioxide), Olive oil, Walnuts (nuts), Radicchio, Pecorino (milk), Basil, Dill, Parsley

£6.50
