I really liked the fact that we arrived when it was light, so I could take in our surroundings. Thank you Spring! The Dining Room is really beautiful, I loved the way it was decorated. I couldn't resist a few snaps...
We were given a set menu, and whilst Sarah and I chose to have a main and a desert, my grandparents and Dan chose to have a starter and a main instead. Before they brought out the starters however, we were given a complimentary course from the chef. It was a potatoe soup that has been made fluffy, almost like a mouse. Although this wasn't my favourite, it was still tasty and something I wouldn't have necessarily tried before. The starters arrived, and I sipped on the most delicious peach bellini I think I have ever had!
Grandpa had goats cheese,
Grandma went for the chicken liver pate,
and Dan chose the salmon, which he said was incredible! I'm not a big fan of fish myself, but I have to say it did look good.
Our mains arrived, and wow. It was delicious! Grandma and I chose the Chicken Supreme, with spring vegetables, chicken and tarragon dumplings and chorizo. It was so yummy, but if I had it again I'd ask for it without Chorizo. I find the taste quite overpowering!
Dan and Sarah had steak. Medium rare and Well done respectively. They came with the most beautiful triple-cooked chips I have ever tasted (yes, I am the girlfriend who knicks a few chips, but I exchanged them for some of my chicken!). I've never really had steak, but I think I'd get it next time just for the chips!
Unfortunately, I didn't manage to take a photo of Grandpa's meal, but he went for the Cumbrian beef with truffle mash. I have to say, it looked delicious!
Deserts were next up for me and Sarah. I'm so excited to tell you about this part. I went for the select variety of ice cream and sorbets. Boring right? Wrong. I had the most delicious White Chocolate sorbet that I haven't been able to get out of my mind since. It was spot on, and I kind of wished I had decided to have three scoops of that instead of getting chocolate and vanilla ice cream too! It was absolutely incredible.
The Dining Room at The Poet's House was such a lovely restaurant. If you are ever in the area, I'd definitely put this down on your "to-dine" list!
Have you ever been to The Poets's House?
