Our new Market Lunch menu is a guilt-free January treat

Cured Rose Bay shrimps, Champagne emulsion & tobiko

Here at aqua shard we’re not ones to tell you that, come January, you should be giving up this or quitting that. We think it’s much better to give yourself a break in the cold, quieter first few weeks of the year and enjoy – within moderation, of course – a soothing treat or two.

At £31 for two-courses or £34 for three, our seasonally-changing Market Lunch menu is an affordable indulgence with sumptuous dishes that won’t leave you feeling like you’re depriving yourself of anything.

Succulent suckling pig on the winter menu

WP_20141112_020 1

With winter approaching, the menu will gradually start to reflect the instinctive shift from summer and autumn’s lighter dishes to the more substantial, soothing food we all crave in the coldest months of the year.

New to the a la carte menu in November is this sensational Confit suckling pig, sourced from Blythburgh in Suffolk, slow-cooked in oil at 80C for twelve hours until meltingly tender and served with compressed pear spiced with pink pepper, black cabbage, potato and truffle gratin and a rich gravy.

The suckling pig is further complemented by the addition of air-dried pork loin from another of our superb suppliers, Capreolus Fine Foods of Rampingham, Dorset who also made our extremely popular Bonfire Bangers recently.

You can view the current menu and book on our website, and we look forward to welcoming you into the warm to try our winter dishes soon!
