Canapés & a glass of Prosecco to start
While The Robin Hood pub has been closed throughout this pandemic. We wanted a little pub nostalgia for this seasons tasting menu - Pub classic canapes
Welsh Wagyu mini burger from Alternative meats. In a homemade sesame seeded bun with tomato relish.
"Ifor’s Wagyu Cattle graze on the hills of Montgomeryshire, they are the happiest, most relaxed cattle we have ever seen. Now whether this is down to having a pint of beer from the local brewery every day … or the little daily massage that Ifor gives them … or just the fact that they're well loved and cared for in a very beautiful part of Wales – who can tell?!! The fact remains that they produce some of the tastiest, most delicious beef that we have EVER experienced."
Silloth potted shrimp on brioche toast
Ray’s Shrimps is a family run company formed in the early 1960’s.
On landing, the ‘catch’ from the Solway is cooked immediately onboard. It is then processed adjacent to the docks in West Cumbria.
The shrimp are graded then put through shrimp-peeling machines, then to the inspection machine where the remaining shells are removed using vibration and air.
Annandale Smoke Salmon from St. James smokehouse. "The best tasting smoked salmon in the world"
Fresh superior quality Atlantic salmon from sustainable, responsible & accredited farms.
The devoted team of artisanal workers hand-cure each fillet, then traditionally smoke it over smoldering oak wood.
Our first wine of this seasonal journey is a unique white from Hungary. A beautiful Furmint from Pannon Tokaj vineyards.
Furmint is one of the most exciting grape varieties in the world right now. It is a versatile wine with a full-body and an underlying acidity.
The grapes are left to shrivel on the vine late in the season. This encourages the development of the Botrytis cinerea fungus, aka noble rot. The sugar's concentrate and intensify the flavour to create a straw gold in colour wine, with a complex flavour, high acidity and distinct sweetness. Smoky flavours of lime peel, ripe apples and pears, light hay with hints of spice.
WEST CUMBRIAN LOBSTER
Butter poached lobster tail & claw meat tortellini.
Kashmiri Saffron braised shallots. saffron & Hungarian paprika vinaigrette.
Roasted romanesque cauliflower & caramelised puree
"With a slightly nutty flavour, close to a cauliflower mixed with chestnuts. It tastes fantastic, especially roasted.
SCRUMPY BRAISED GLOUCESTER OLD SPOT PORK CHEEK
Sticky outdoor reared pork cheeks are delicious when slow braised. This cut of pork has been out of fashion, but recently it has seen a resurgence in popularity as we cook more with offal and “less” used cuts.
It’s often to be found on our traditional seasonal Pub menu. Slow cooked they yield a beautifully tender mouthful and are rich and satisfying. Much like our premium Faluhely Cabernet. - rich in notes of Autumnal fruits with medium bodied tannins
The Barrie Brothers are behind the FAT PIG COMPANY.They rear tasty, outdoor grazed pork for The Marram Grass and other high end restaurants. You may recognise Ellis from the new series of ready steady cook, or from the Great British Menu.
"The Gloucester old spot pork cheeks are braised for 6 hours in a scrumpy cider stock, served with pan fried Kirkup's, homemade black pudding with roasted chestnut, with seared apple, caramelised apple puree and a black treacle and cider glaze."
British apples are the best tasting in the world. And it’s all down to the mild climate.
Regular rainfall helps to produce a juicy apple, cooler temperatures bring a crunchy texture and a dash of British sunshine develops that distinctive, delicious flavour. With hundreds of varieties available, there’s a Great British apple to suit any taste.
The Tailored Goat Company is a family business dedicated to producing the highest quality, grass fed goat meat straight from the Cumbrian hills.
The boer goats are free to graze on small paddocks around the farm, their diet is complimented with beef rearing nuts from the local mill.
The meat taken from the boer kids is more tender in texture and more flavoursome than meat taken from dairy counterparts.
Goat is low in fat and cholesterol but high in protein and iron - ideal for those living a healthy lifestyle.
Chris is proud to be a farmer who looks after his animals to the highest welfare standards in the world.

Rich in nutrients and disease-fighting properties, rose hips have gained attention for their disease-fighting antioxidants, such as vitamin C.
Historically, rose hips have been used as a natural remedy for many diseases and skin ailments.
They may help reduce signs of aging and lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and osteoarthritis pain.
Rosehips were even used as a citrus replacement during World War II to keep coughs and colds at bay thanks to their potent Vitamin C levels – almost 60 times higher than that of any other citrus fruit.

HARSLEVELU SUPERIOR
Even though this wine is not from the Tokaj region, it has the same amount of natural sugar in it as a Tokaj would.
This is why this beautiful harslevelu has been awarded 5 puttony aszu - It has more fruity flavour than a Tokaj wine would have, with notes of honey and apple blossom.
