Just had a really great meal - expensive but amazing value despite that:

One of those newfangled pop-up restaurants, open in Weymouth until the end of the month. Highly recommended! 🙂
Mmm, lunch...
'ow much?
Couldn't see prices on the menu based on a quick glance...
Can't access Facebook in the office, but am down that way with work a couple of times per month...what was the food like? Price per head etc?
Weymouth always seems a bit bereft of good restaurants, so will give this place a try.
£45/head for canapés followed by five courses. It seats twenty and often gets booked up but we were there on a quiet night. I don't often go to posh restaurants (wife is too much of a fussy eater and we're too poor) but we were blown away!
It's this kind of stuff - quite magical:

Our particular menu was:
Canapés
-
Broccoli
Sumac & Pine Nuts
-
Salmon
Kimchi, Cucumber & Coriander
-
White Rock Chicken
Crab, Butternut & Mushroom
-
Coconut
Mango & Lime
-
Carrot
Chocolate & Sea Buckthorn
As you can imagine, that's a very minimalist description of the food!
The head chef, Claire, was serving as it was a quiet evening, talked us through each dish and came out for a chat once service had ended. This pop-up ends in a few weeks, and then she's doing one in Barbados over the winter. I wouldn't be surprised to see her with a load of Michelin stars in a decade's time!
Looks nice but I'd count all that as a single course...bit expensive...
Magical?
In a kind of makes your money disappear kind of way?
I'd need to stop off at the chippy on the way home..
It cost about the same as my handlebars... 😉
The bread was great too - freshly baked top notch brown and white, and then three different butters - truffle, seaweed and unsalted (this was particularly remarkable) - and presented on a chilled rock!
