Was interested to discover that this means monkfish. An initially very pleasing dish, which went on to reveal greater depths of flavour. Some discussion on the table as to whether it was great or merely good, but I was definitely in the very impressed camp.
If pies can be majestic, this was definitely a majestic pie. An opportunity for the Staffordshire contingent at the table to reminisce about the wonderful pies of their homeland.
For a "non dessert person", this was a triumph. Really good.

What a lovely start the lunch. Initially a very expressive nose i felt, although I think some of my fellow diners disagreed. On the palate - vinous, open (more than I expected a DP at this age to be) and a hint of, maybe preserved lemon. Once the food arrived this seemed to fill out, gain substance. Really nice champagne and a very welcome start to the lunch.
