Dear Fighter, Dear Mr. Blumenthal,
I know, the Hind's Head is not your flagship. But I suggest you should walk across the street more often from the Fat Duck to have a look at the kitchen. The food was not all bad, but too mixed. When I visit a restaurant / pub like yours a expect to get a perfect dish no matter what I order. I understand, there may be difference in taste, but if 7 people agree....I think they are right!
Half a Dozen Duchy of Cornwall Oysters £12.50
| Amazing Oysters, fresh, fresh, fresh
Soused Herrings with Beetroot and Horseradish £7.50
| excellent fish, horseradish was lacking a bit
Potted Shrimps with Watercress Salad £8.25
| strange version of potted shrimps, very heavy, liquid, but overall good taste
Rabbit and Bacon Terrine with Cucumber Pickles £7.75
| excellent
Dandeloin Salad
| nothing special
Skate Wing with Capers, Lemon and Parsley £15.50
| excellent
8oz Rump Steak with Bone Marrow Sauce and Triple Cooked Chips £18.50
| meat quality very substandart, chips very good though
Sea Bream with Fennel Salad
| fish good, fennel salad excellent
Gloucester Old Spot Pork Chop with Pease Pudding £13.50
| meat mediocre in quality and taste, pease pudding is boring
Lancashire Hotpot £15.50
| potatoes burned, below a soup, worst dish of the night
Quaking Pudding £5.95
| BORING
BTW: please change menu and ingredients more often.
Keep Fightin'
