We saw this place on our way through to Mercedes Benz and was about to pass out from hunger. Thought we would give it a whirl & check it out.
Impressive decor and a fantastic welcoming reception on entrance. Opted for main course instead of the very well priced £8.95 lunch two course offer.
I had lasagne and Fi went for Katsu curry. By far, this katsu curry blew wagamama away to oblivion - based on a broth than a glupey paste, it oozed class with subtle, yet intense flavours & coconut rice served in the most beautiful mini steamers. As for the chicken - beautifully tender and crisp with a healthy portion to match. The lasagne was so intensely flavoured, that every mouthful was a delight.
Dessert wise, I went for 'not your usual tirimisu' and fi had sticky toffee pudding. These really were something to shout about. I have never had such a passionate display of creativity applied to dishes before. Well, only when I have been to Michelin starred restaurants that is... I don't know the background of this chef, but going by the food, he should have a michelin star for the creativity and thought put behind these dishes & the flavours.
Our server, Gillian, was the creme de la creme of this experience. Great banter - warm and friendly. Personality sells a place and she is an amazing asset to this establishment. I can't fault this place and look forward to coming back, even though it is a 40 mile round trip to get here!
