I love a roast, and on a Sundays at The Parakeet, it’s their all day roast menu that covers all the classics. From hay smoked roast chicken and roast beef, to slow cooked lamb shoulder and grilled sea bream. The focus here, for the other 6 days of the week, is on fire-cooked, seasonal British produce, all inside their classic but refined, pub-style dining room. To start, their potato bread with smoked butter was delicious. Served super warm, the bread was spongey and soft. The butter though, creamy, smokey and salty - so tasty. For main, the roast beef + a sirloin for the middle. The roast was served with spring greens, roasted potatoes, root veg, Yorkshire pudding and a carrot/swede mash. All really flavoursome and well put together. Found the beef a little tough though, but all in all, solid. Crispy potatoes and a good gravy are the star of a roast anyway. It was the sirloin that I much preferred to the roast beef though - grilled beautifully over Woodfire, cooked till pink and served in a comforting beef jus. A nice crust on that thing and really tender too. The cauliflower cheese was mesmerising - a perfectly browned and bubbling top with a lusciously creamy, oozing sauce. Hearty and addictive. All of this called for a nice bottle of Bordeaux - went for the 2006 Pontet-Canet. Smokey and rich, worked great with beef. The sharing bowl of chocolate mousse and sticky toffee to finish were a good finale. Sticky toffee was the winner of the two without a doubt. Need to revisit for the full menu.. back soon #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
