Wine of the Month

This month we have a Lyric Pinot Grigio Blush for our wine of the month.

This perfectly complements our Market Menu, and is also delightfully refreshing for those warm summer nights!

They have also linked up with our Seafood supplier, who has set up the British Skippers Scheme with specially selected skippers and boats around Britain, to bring you the finest quality fresh fish, caught responsibly. So along with Asparagus we will feature British Crab.

Here’s a sample market menu for May:

Deddington Arms

Crab and Asparagus Tart
with a Beetroot & Lambs Lettuce Salad, Dressed with Hazelnut Oil

White Hart

Best British Asparagus Tartlet,
with a Soft Poached Egg and Hollandaise Sauce

Crab and Lobster Salad
with Spring Leaves and a Subtle Dill Dressing

Villiers

Cornish Crab, Spring Onion and Pea Risotto
Chargrilled English Asparagus, Parmesan Shaving and Lemon Oil

Cartwright

Paupiette of Plaice
with a Crab Mousse, Local Asparagus, Saffron Potatoes and Tomato Hollandaise

After the great success of the Riesling from Kendermanns I returned to this supplier once again for our Wine of the Month.

This month it’s a smooth Pinot Grigio with spicy aromas bursting with flavour and powerful fruit – just great with friends or food.
