The Priory- Asparagus Overload- number 16

As those who watch 'The Great British Menu' may know, one of the chefs representing the South West has previously been Michael Caine. The restaurant that he owned at the time (I think he now has an abundance) is The Priory in Bath. therefore as a student in Bath and a connoisseur of fin food it would be prudent of me to pay a visit.

When I told everybody (and I mean EVERYbody) that I was going to The Priory the general consensus seemed to be "Oh is your mother finally checking you into rehab" -charming

 

I know you all want to know what I ate so here's the menu

An amuse bouche of breaded pork with tomato sauce and salmon- I'm not really sure it was but it was very yummy.

An appetiser or parsnip veloute with parsnip crisps - two dishes  that were compliments of the chef - score

To start a duck's egg with a mushroom veloute and asparagus

My main course was Plaice with crushed potatoes and more asparagus- crushed potatoes? why didn't they just go all the way and crush them into a mash?

For pudding (get excited) I had a dark chocolate mousse with cocoa nib ice cream with a parfait but I couldn't for the life of me place the flavour of the latter.

Lunch would not be complete without coffee and petit fours which were taken in the lounge accompanied by reading Harper's Bazaar  - yes this is the life
