Rejoice fans of Peasant gnocchi...

We are breaking with tradition today and letting the metaphorical goose out of the bag.

This weekend's menu includes Chef Douglas Kerr's legendary goat's cheese gnocchi.

For those of you that have tried this dish you know what you are in for. Everyone else should try this at least once.

The texture and flavour of this supreme variant of potato dumplings is almost beyond description, a soft, yet crisp, pillowy and light combination of laboriously and meticulously combined ingredients.

This week served with fresh peas and asparagus, lemon butter and feta cheese.

Bookings are open for this Friday and Saturday, don't miss out, as gnocchi is only available on rare occasions.
