We decided to go to the Shoebury hotel a. For convenience (we literally live 2 minutes away!) and b. We have eaten there before and really enjoyed it. They had a new menu and I for one was looking forward to trying it!
When we have been before I have always found them accommodating even among me something that wasn't on the menu!
Anyway this time I had to start, the special which was mini aubergine frittatas. I had never thought of doing this as a starter but it's a really good idea! I will say the actual frittatas were a tiny bit dry but the tomato sauce with it made up for that. Taste wise they were lovely and a nice light way to start the meal!
For main I had goats cheese and spinach filo parcels. These were amazing! The cheese wasn't over powering and the pastry was perfect and crisp! I choose not to have any sides as I was saving room for the champagne the other half bought me ;)
My partner had the parfait (I believe it was chicken!) which he really enjoyed and for mains the chorizo risotto. Both he really enjoyed and trust me he is a fuss pot!
The service as always was perfect. The manager Andy is attentive and always happy to help in anyway. They have also opened a cellar bar that is open till 1am and available for private hire which is a lovely idea! We have yet to have a nose as there was a private hire in at the time.
The service is so lovely in there we are going back again for drinks and snack next week for my bday with a bunch of family and friends! Ooooo I nearly forgot they do a mean cocktail! And if Andy is in and it's not in the menu they are happy to make others as well! Lovely :) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
