Spoil yourself and your better half with The River Restaurant’s four-course Valentine’s menu; a sumptuous dinner complete with a Prosecco sorbet, all for just £55 per person. There’s also a welcome glass of Champagne for you both as you settle into the cosy ambience and peruse the delicious dishes on offer; dishes with an emphasis on classic, seasonal food, delivered with flair and flourish.
To start, there’s pan-fried scallops, renowned for their aphrodisiac qualities, served with Thai green purée, mango and spiced cauliflower. Chicken liver parfait comes with sweet caramelised white onion and toasted sourdough bread, while the vegetarian soup has Jerusalem artichokes and truffle for a little bit of luxury.
An intermediary course brings you a Prosecco sorbet with candied citrus fruits and mint to lift your palate, after which the four choices for main course include a handmade filo roulade filled with vegan black pudding, feta cheese, walnut, roasted squash, tenderstem broccoli and red pepper purée.
For fish lovers, the red mullet fillet comes with a fennel and saffron broth, rosemary crisps and almond aioli, while meat-eaters might be tempted by the breast of Penrith chicken, pan fried and served with earthy roasted leek, king oyster mushroom and truffle velouté. Finally, designed for couples to share and just made for Valentine’s Day is a cannon of lamb Wellington. Frankly, it’d be rude not to.
To finish, stick with savoury and tuck into the selection of country cheese with chutney and crackers, our take your pick out of two sweets: banana Tarte Tatin with rum and raisin ice cream and honeycomb, to share, or passion fruit and lime cheesecake with caramelised white chocolate ice cream, to keep to yourself.
You can rely on The River Restaurant to be the perfect place for a Valentine’s dinner, and, even better, if you can’t celebrate on Thursday 14 February, you can still enjoy the very special set menu on Friday 15 and Saturday 16. The set menu is £55 a head.
