Dishes

  • Lobster à la Presse (100) — This recipe was first created by Chef Jacques Le Divellec in his Parisian restaurant Le Divellec in the 1980’s. We have used this as the inspiration for The Waterside Inn’s own take on a modern classic. Our sauce uses Macallan 12 year old single malt, which is perfectly balanced, with flavours of vanilla with rich raisin and orange. The final dish delivers complex flavours that satisfy all the taste sensations and makes for a wonderful Hors d’Oeuvre. (Price as principal starter or main course; supplement for additional course is £175.00)
  • Linguini with caviar (125) — This dish may seem simplicity itself but it is packed full of the salty flavour of Royal Belgian Oscietra caviar. Made at your table, not only will you have the theatre of seeing it prepared, you also won’t waste a moment in savouring the results. A classic example of ingredients speaking for themselves, the blend of linguini, olive oil, lemon juice and caviar is silky, and satisfying. (50g caviar. Price as principal starter; supplement for additional starter is £210.00)
  • Duck à la Presse (100) — Pressed duck is a traditional French dish. It is a complex specialty of Rouen and its creation attributed to an innkeeper from the city of Duclair. This is a spectacular Entrée providing an extraordinary culinary experience. CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE DUE TO AVIAN FLU. (Price as principal main course; supplement for additional main course is £200.00)
  • Crêpes Suzette (50) — Thought to have been first created by French restaurateur Henri Charpentier, who in 1894, at age 14, while an assistant waiter, accidentally set a sauce aflame when serving dessert to the Prince of Wales. Once the fire subsided, the sauce was so delicious that the prince asked that the dish be named for a young girl in his entourage, Suzette. The perfect, classic, mouth-watering French dessert that surely needs no more introduction! (Price as principal dessert; supplement for additional dessert is £120.00)
  • Royal Belgian Oscietra Caviar Indulgence (625) — 30g £150.00 | 50g £250.00 | 125g £625.00. Served with blinis and crème fraîche.
  • Selection of French and English Artisanal Cheeses (39.5) — A selection of French and English artisanal cheeses, available as an additional course.
