September’s Evening with Gregg
We had a lot of fun and a lot of great food at our September Evening with Gregg last night. Gregg talked us through the menu, asked us a load of quiz questions (difference between a pumpkin and a squash anyone?), did a Q&A on Masterchef and generally tore around the place signing copies of his new book on puddings and dispensing bottles of wine. The pumpkin featured strongly, and we couldn’t resist playing guess the weight (don’t worry, not the big Sumo – that competition is still going). It was a close contest and the winner was Juliana Schnell, pictured above with her prize. Congratulations Juliana and we hope you managed to get the monster home. We ate pumpkin soup, corn on the cob, duck confit with an excellent green tomato chutney and rounded it all off with that prince of autumnal puddings – good old apple crumble.

Our next Evening with Gregg is going to be in November and if you’re interested in coming just sign up for the newsletter or follow us on twitter and you’ll be first to hear. You will need to book fast – we sold out of tickets for this one in 48 hours.

New lunch menu
It’s been a busy week or so, with the highlight being our second Evening with Gregg. Great night again – honest. It’s not just us who’s saying that – see the review from putneysw15.com.
On the menu front, we’ve been doing our evening offer for three weeks now – £15 for two courses and £18 for three – and we’ve also had a lunch menu re-vamp with the aim of putting the salads centre stage. The produce we’re getting at the moment really is fantastic, with the broad beans, tomatoes, salad leaf and peas vying for centre stage as asparagus takes a bow. You can see the new menu in our menu section (above). We’re offering a main and two salads for £8.50 and a main and three salads for £10.50. The salads will be changing regularly. We’re also doing hot dishes from the kitchen at a flat £9.50. People seem to like it – come and check it out and let us know what you think.
