We started with six native oysters. My brother's partner is French and her parents bought us an oyster set for our wedding that we have been meaning to Christen ever since. I have to confess to being slightly nervous of doing the shucking so Mr Crafty stepped nobly into the breach:
Served with lemon wedges, shallot vingegar and Tabasco they were truly delicious:
We then went on to Fois Gras (I know - it's not PC and I did feel a pang of guilt whilst buying - I have no excuse but all I can say is that it is a very rare treat for us) with Sourdough Bread from De Gustibus and a fanstastic Monbazillac sourced from Edward Parker Wines via a wine buff friend at work:
The main course was leg of lamb from Northfield Farm with dauphinoise potatoes and green beans:
We just about made room for the oh so pretty strawberry tarts from Konditor and Cook:
But by this point we were seriously running out of steam...
