A Sizzling supper
IT WAS a chilly, blustery evening bang smack in the middle of oncoming summer. Only the day before we had been salty skinned and sandy toed, and yet last Friday seemed to say: woah, don’t get
too comfortable – it’s only May. Calm down, me hearties.Rain poured down and the wind howled as we changed into our gladrags. And what better way to spend such an unexpected evening than with your loved ones, munching on a delicious three-course meal?We swapped sunglasses for warm jackets and drove round the west coast for a spot of foodie indulgence. Having never eaten at La Grande Mare, I’d say I was a pretty good guinea pig for their Summer Sizzler menu. I took my fiancé David, my mum Min and her friend Celia along for the ride and though it certainly wasn’t sizzling outside, we were game. We are a hard crowd to please. Not only do we all enjoy cooking, but hunting out hidden restaurant gems, sampling new-kids on the ingredient block and attending cookery classes are things we like to do for the hell of it. What can we say? Food is the spice of life, and we like ours hot and schmokin’.What do you consider good value? It is a hard question to answer, but at £12.50 for three courses this menu is a bargain by anyone’s standards. And the dishes were well portioned and varied. There was definitely a ‘beachy’ feel to the brasserie dining area. With a spruced-up fishing boat at the entrance, framed photos of local beaches dotted around the walls and neutral tones throughout, it was seaside elegance with a twist. ‘Hurry up and get to the good part’, I hear you say. Very well…For starters, Min and David went for duck liver parfait with red onion marmalade and toasted brioche. The marmalade was undeniably sweet and luscious on the palate. Its vinegary twang balanced well with the rich, smooth parfait, which surprised with its complexity of flavour. The only criticism from my other half came straight from the mouth of Oliver Twist – ‘Please sir, I want
some more’.Celia went all Greek and opted for an asparagus, beetroot and feta salad on seasonal greens. It was summer in a bowl. Bright, light and healthy. The star of the show? The beautifully uneven, crumbly and creamy feta – beauty comes from imperfection, from not trying to be a perfect square.A lover of all seafood, it was a crab and prawn cocktail for me. This 70s classic isn’t usually my go-to, but the addition of avruga caviar on top intrigued me. The salty freshness of the caviar, mixed with familiar marie rose smoothness, made for a fine start to the feast.
When the mains arrived, it was a picture. And they smelled fantastic – always a
very good sign. With true perfect timing, the sun also decided to make an appearance.David’s mint and garlic marinated lamb chops were better than we had expected. Lamb’s a funny one. In restaurants it’s either as good as my mum’s or overdone and not French trimmed. This was the former. The smooth mashed potato hidden underneath the juicy chops was also a treat, as was the glistening mint sauce generously poured over the top. It was so good I kept going back for sneaky mouthfuls. ‘It’s for work,’ I insisted.For Min, it was wild mushroom risotto with basil oil. Heavy on the garlic, this dish was indulgent and comforting. The rice was cooked properly, unlike so many risottos – creamily soft without being stodgy. Celia, a curry enthusiast, went for chicken jalfrezi. The dish was delicious, but needed a chutney to set it off. And some quickly arrived.I, however, couldn’t resist the promise of a buttery skate wing. You either admire the stringy flesh of skate or you don’t, and I do and did. New potatoes, steamed French beans and a caper beurre blanc made the dish sing and I quickly ascended into seafood heaven. I could have stayed and eaten the whole thing twice over. But there was a
LA GRANDE MARE
What better time to recharge your batteries with La Grande Mare’s Summer Sizzler menu than a wintry evening between glorious summer days? Jessamy Baudains discovered there’s plenty to get excited about on the west coast - even if the sun’s not shining

birthday party to attend afterwards and a wedding dress to squeeze into.Not that anyone was thinking about that when the puds arrived.
For the finale, Min and Celia went for
lavender crème caramel with lavender shortbread. Ideal for summer, it was light and different.Mine was that British staple we all love and adore, good ‘ole crumble. This one was filled with
grated apple, fresh blackberries and lashings of sweet cinnamony topping. A little jug of fresh custard sat steaming next to the small dish and was crying out to smother the sugary goodness. The strawberry and white chocolate cheesecake was David’s poison. I have never seen a dessert disappear from someone’s plate so fast. Now, I know David likes food, but you’d think the man hadn’t eaten for a year. ‘It was just soooo good,’ he said.
I was quick enough to sneak a spoonful
from under his nose – it was smooth on the tongue, almost parfait-like, and extremely pretty to look at for the five seconds it remained intact.The afternoon’s rain had disappeared, blue skies had returned and all seemed right with the world again. We were left feeling full, satisfied and ever so slightly sad that the whole thing was over. On the plus side, the Summer Sizzler menu is available seven days a week until 30 June. So get yourselves down there and give it a try. I know I’ll be returning.I can heartily recommend the asparagus, beetroot and feta salad, the lamb chops and strawberry and white chocolate cheesecake.
l The Summer Sizzler menus is available for lunch between noon and 2pm, and for Early Bird Dinner, 6-7pm, in the brasserie only at La Grande Mare. Call 256576 to book.
