Not really a restaurant review, or linked to the Wirral, but at the weekend we stayed in a country house hotel in the North pennines, and part of the deal was to take their seven course gastronomique extravaganza on the Sunday night.
It was billed as a tasting menu, and as such there were no choices. what you got was what you got. Now I could not fault the food, except for the last course, rhubarb and stuff. I do not like rhubarb, and neither it appeared did the majority of our fellow diners. That aside though, the menu included smoked duck, parsnip soup and venison cooked pink and was very tasty.
It is an interesting assumption to make though that what the chef wants to cook is what the punters want to eat. In this case it worked, but watch this space as tasting menus become more popular, and we visit a few restaurants that do them.
