You, The Sandwich
If a restaurant were to name something after you, what would it be? Describe it.
Hard one – but I think it would have to be the combination of a crisp French Tavel rosé and a little bowl of good quality crisps/potato chips. That combination of cold crisp wine, and dry salty chips. Indulgent but down to earth and a bit fun. Me.
For the House, our signature dish is by far our Hosking House Mushrooms on Toast. It’s simple so the ingredients need to be good quality. Makes a great breakfast, or simple lunch or dinner.
Sautéed mushrooms with house-grown garlic, rosemary & a fried egg, served on top house-made wheat bread.
