wild honey

lunch at wild honey with francesca from prospect-us.  there’s nothing quite as good as being taken to a ‘proper’ restaurant when someone else is paying.  and wild honey, like its sister arbutus is a ‘proper’ restaurant!  simple, fine food, locally sourced in many cases and luxurious.  clipped and attentive service but not so clipped as to be sharp. an excellent mid-english channel approach to dishes.  fantastic shin of veal and a great rissoto.  and in an unlikely turn of events i strayed onto the pudding menu.  the apricot clafoutis reminded me of everything i do wrong when i attempt this french classic.  go – but ideally only when someone else is paying!!!
