For
a more detailed write up of Fera, take a look at the post I wrote following my
first visit in 2014 (here).
Since then, Simon Rogan, Dan Cox and the team have gone on to be awarded their first
Michelin star in the capital.
On
this occasion I went along for the Set Lunch – 3 courses for £39. I opted for
the Beetroot starter, Pork Belly main and Earl Grey dessert. First, a sequence
of snacks was served:
Chickpea, Cheese Curd, Mustard –
a chickpea wafer with cheese curd, mustard emulsion and some prettiness on top.
Stewed Rabbit, Lovage – crisp,
coated rabbit meat with a glossy lovage cream.
Scallop, Alexanders, Seaweed – two
seaweed & Alexanders crackers, sandwiching a scallop roe mousse & powdered
scallop roe. If you’ve not heard of Alexanders, check this link to recipes from
the Eden
Project that I’ve posted before, as it’s the prefect time of the year to
forage for, and cook them.
Mushroom Cake, Juniper, Fennel – a
dried mushroom sponge with juniper fennel and puffed barley.
Tunworth & Duck Heart –
diced duck hearts with a creamed Tunworth cheese and triangle chives.
Rye & Stout Bread with Cumbrian
Butter – a hearty, full flavoured bread with light whipped
salted butter.
Salt Baked Beetroots, Salsify Cream, Grey
Oyster Mushroom & Liquorice – a delightful dish of sweet,
earthy beetroot and mushrooms with a silky salsify cream, all lifted by the
fresh hit of anise type notes from the liquorice.
Pork Belly, Roasted Onion, Cabbage, Whey
Sauce & Black Garlic – all the elements of a classic Rogan
dish. A real beauty.
Chamomile Cream with Chocolate Malt – last
time I ate here, there was a ‘Chamomile milkshake with
chocolate malt’ on the menu, I thought this new dish showed
a much improved use of the same key ingredients.
Earl Grey Ice Cream, Pickled Apple, Anise
Fritters – three strong flavours, well balanced to produce a fresh,
light and innovative dish.
Lemon Meringue and
a Fennel Jelly
A
relaxing lunch in luxurious surroundings is always a joy – add to this Simon
Rogan’s elegant, artful, innovative dishes.
