Blakes - very good value tasting menu

Thumbs up for mixed entree platter galore : spicy chicken tikka, salt and pepper squid, gratin, souffle, cream of cauliflower soup shot.



Roast duck with orange brandy sauce. A enerous portion but a tad too soft rather than crispy.


Crustacean in hollandaise. Succulent and tasty. Very enjoyable.


Caramelised pork belly with sweet potato chips and apple sauce.
Saute veggies with a little garlic oil would have been preferrable to the typically English blanched version served.


Sweet endings : sticky date pudding, creme brulee, two tier mousse.

Blakes scores high rating on good value and efficient service. However, there's something missing when measured against fine dining restaurants.
