Bishopstrow Restaurant的点评
点评:Well, did we hit lucky?
It's a question I ask myself after having read mixed reviews over the past few months... all I can say is that our private family lunch for 17 held in the Library was as good as anything I've experienced in 50 plus years. A big statement from somebody whose career was spent in the World of events, hospitality and hotels.
Pre-administration of the event was generally good with orders in advance, only slight niggle being that trying to get hold of people was difficult at times. The phone rang out too often and for too long.
Bishopstrow House itself is a charming place, oozing character and history and our pre-lunch drinks served in one of the main lounges was a very good start.
The Library Room ideal for a private lunch or dinner, although seeing one or two large ladies kitted out in white Spa Bath Robes waddling about in the reception area can be a little bit off putting if you get my drift.
As for the lunch itself, it was quite simply superb and IMO borders on Michelin 1 star / 3+Rosettes. My Chicken Liver Parfait was beautifully served, rich in texture and flavour. Thumbs up also for the Smoked Salmon starter and soup. Good sized portions all. Mains equally as good. The Steak - nobody asked how I wanted it - was the perfect Medium and cooked to perfection with a delicious sauce and vine tomatoes that added colour and taste. The crispy chips yummy. I ended up with the cheese board which was generous as it was varied. In fact too much if I am truthful which I never normally say.
The wines served were good - just glad I wasn't paying as a glance at the wine list highlights that there are some large margins being applied.
Service from new boy Joe on the day was very good. All in all an excellent experience and one to remember for many years to come. Check out the photos for a flavour of our day.
翻译:那么,我们走运了吗?
这是我在过去几个月阅读了褒贬不一的评论后问自己的一个问题……我只能说,我们在图书馆举行的 17 人私人家庭午餐是我 50 多年来经历过的最棒的午餐。对于一个职业生涯都在活动、酒店和酒店业工作的人来说,这是一个很大的评价。
活动的前期管理总体上很好,提前预定,唯一的小问题是有时很难联系到人。电话响得太频繁,时间也太长了。
Bishopstrow House 本身是一个迷人的地方,散发着个性和历史气息,我们在主休息室之一享用的午餐前饮料是一个很好的开始。
图书馆室是享用私人午餐或晚餐的理想场所,尽管看到一两位身着白色水疗浴袍的大个子女士在接待区蹒跚而行可能会有点不舒服,如果你明白我的意思的话。
至于午餐本身,简直太棒了,在我看来,它接近米其林一星/3+玫瑰花。我的鸡肝冻糕摆盘精美,口感丰富,味道鲜美。烟熏三文鱼开胃菜和汤也值得称赞。份量很足。主菜同样美味。牛排 - 没有人问我要什么 - 是完美的五分熟,配上美味的酱汁和藤番茄,色泽鲜艳,口感极佳。脆薯条很美味。我最后点了奶酪拼盘,份量很足,种类丰富。说实话,其实太多了,我通常不会这么说。
供应的葡萄酒很好 - 只是很高兴我没有付钱,因为看一眼酒单,就会发现酒单上的差价很大。
当天新来的 Joe 的服务非常好。总而言之,这是一次绝佳的体验,值得多年后回味。看看照片,感受我们这一天的风采。
