the starter was a bit of a disaster
I'm allergic to fish/shellfish so instead of the tiger prawn salad with parmesan, avocado, salad and sweet chilli sauce, they gave me the same salad with quail eggs instead. Which obviously I can't eat.

The main course was guinea fowl with smoked bacon, on pea risotto with asparagus which was delicious, then dessert was lemon tarte with grapefruit and orange sorbet and raspberry smoothie
