From the Quartieri Spagnoli to Quality Street

Welcome to the weekender and the Quality Wines newsletter.

Coming to your friendly-local-wine-enthused restaurant next week: A celebration of Sicily with Etna infused Marinda tomatoes & blood oranges dressed in salmoriglio. Verdant & stoney agretti comes with mozzarella, anchovy & garlic. Have you got the minerals?

Roast Salcombe Bay scallops are roasted in Portuguese garlic butter ‘a la guilho’, a longitudinal marriage made in heaven. Dorset white & brown crab meat comes tossed through homemade tagliolini, fennel & Amalfi lemon. A relationship born of attitude more than latitude. Plump braised ox cheeks round out the mains. Coming with creamy, Parmesan polenta & salsa verde. In a week for lovers, this is your big spoon.

Spaghetti puttanesca is our ‘Express Lunch’, available Tuesday to Friday. £15 with a glass, beer or soft. Bookings & walk ins welcome!

Looking forward to seeing you all next week.

Nick, Marcos & the Team.
