The Victoria at West Temple Sheen
Snaps from the night
From Farm to Big Smoke!
Our first London Flying Visit was certainly a wonderful evening and a gastronomy experience. A glass of pink ” piggy fizz” and some canapes kicked off the evening, this was followed by an introduction to the wines from Steve Daniel from Hallgarten druitt and Novum wines. We then had a butchery demo from John Kent of Direct Meats, followed by a Dingley Dell Farm tour on the screens in the restaurant. The pork tasting menu consisted of 5 courses a Pigs Trotter Carpaccio from Paul Foster, Pork rillette and braised jowl from Mark Poynton, a crispy pigs head with ham hock scotch egg from Ross Pike and Madalene Bonvini-Hamel, Asian Dingley Dell consisting of a belly vindaloo, jungle style cheeks and dim sum from our host Paul Merrett and then to finish Amadei dark chocolate entremet with smoked bacon caramel from William Curley.
