The Forest Side - Grasmere, Cumbria #MichelinStar

Update: The Forest Side has been awarded its first Michelin star in the 2017 guide. 

I first visited Chef Kevin Tickle’s The Forest Side back in April (here) and have been keen to return ever since. On my last visit, I enjoyed the 10 course “Grand 'Un’’ tasting menu – this time we opted for the 6 course “L’Al ‘Un”.



This time we went with even higher expectations and I’m pleased to report, they were met… with bells on!

Raspberry – verbena pearls, yogurt

Sour cherry – sweet cheese & rosehip
