I realise that if I was any kind of a real foodie that I would have had my fantastic food and photos all written up and posted on Sunday morning - right after my visit to Reads - BUT there's been problems with the faithful old warhorse of a PC chez moi. Every time I turn on a TV channel ... iPlayer, Channel4 Catch Up or ITV.com (well who'd miss Coleen's Real Women?) - poof, it/the fuse dies!!
Discs of deliciously light seafood mousse in a feuilette of puff pastry, with al dente asparagus and a butter sauce.
Ham hock terrine with piccalilli and warm sourdough toast.
Halibut on a bed of spinach and fennel ribbons with a herb gnocchi, cheese gougere and bisque sauce.
Lamb on buttered savoy cabbage with fondant potato a rosemary jus and roasted garlic served with sprouting broccoli and hollandaise.
The cheese basket - a selection of English and British cheeses with a variety of crackers and homemade bread with the best (ie saltiest farm churned butter) you've ever tasted!
Rhubarb souffle, lemon tart with a blackcurrant coulis, rhubarb ripple ice cream and coconut ice with a mango dab - yep that's right 4 desserts! Count them - 1, 2, 3, 4! Right, now that I've wiped away the dribbles, I'd better go and have a bite to eat! p.s. Anyone know what might be wrong with my PC??

What a drop-dead gorgeous meal! I'll think of it the next time I get into defending British cooking -- and hey, I'm not even British, so I should get extra credit for that or something!
That Lamb looks amazing. I want Lamb for dinner now!
What fabulous photos and a great report!

Wow, how many wines did you try with the feuillete? I'm impressed by the number of glasses ...
It all looks rather splendid. Yum.
