Ross's new Luscious Lobster dish 'Butter poached lobster, girolles, basil, lobster broth' is absolutely delicious. It is on the menu as a starter. I like it as a main course with a dish of aparagus on the side. On the right is Garry's turbot with tarragon gnocci, braised little gem and mussel sauce. Just thinking about this makes me hungry.
Next week I shall put the puddings on.

Steve Davies, photographer, happened to call in for lunch one day when he was staying with his sister and returned to spend a day photographing in the kitchen and the garden. So now I have some new pictures to put on each week.


These perfect summers days are pure joy. Guests sit in the garden, eat in the shade of the weeping lime tree, children play happily on the trampline while parents and friends down a few of our 'special' Pimms. Everyone is happy.

See you soon. Best wishes Imogen
