DINNER FOR FIVE THE DAY BEFORE XMAS.

Dinner for five curtesy Robert Clayton, a Fashion Designer and famously known for his creation of Yorkshire pearls... little did I know he was also capable of perfectly wiping up a cuisine that could march up to any other five star restaurant in London. 


You didn't know that did you?
Starter


The starter was a thin slice of parma ham rapped around asparagus served with baby spinach, marinated mushroom, parsnips, a slice of goat cheese with a drizzle of extra virgin oil.

The main dish - A perfectly cooked beef ( I opted for medium rare which was divine and just melted in my mouth) with grilled crunchy vegetable and new potatoes which tasted sanctorum.
'The Strawberry Surprise'


A gain, I was blown away by the dessert which was single handedly put together by Bert. I had to name  'Strawberry Surprise' for the fact that I was flabbergasted with the art. 


To make the night more festive, we were treated to a delicious spongy christmas pudding and once again, it was made by the bare hands of Bert. I dare say more!

We drunk, we ate, chatted and made merry. An evening that made me realize that this man - Bert - is a wonderful being that has many talents and one of them is certainly the ability conquer the kitchen - cooking.


Pleasure!
