10月9日 The Saga of British Gas Part 1Some of you out there will know this story- I have told you about it on stressful moments. A couple of you have suggested that I tell my story to the world, so I'm telling it now (to a minute section of the population!!)
I'd like to say that it all started with this HILARIOUS notice to disconnect for £15,968.00. Which we were
absolutely delighted to receive in August, but it goes long back before that, before the flood......... (don't panic WE DO STILL HAVE GAS!!!!!!!)
To be continued.........
10月7日 Rain rain rainWhy is it that it always rains on our days off?
James drove to Bristol market this morning at 4.30 AM . Fairly horrific drive back, but great produce this week. Great red cabbage and brussel sprouts (I know some people think that Brussel Sprouts are the work of the devil, but we love them)
New produce on the menu this week "Vitello Tonnato" - Lightly cured English Rose Veal, seared, cooked at low temperature in a water bath and then chilled and thinly sliced. This is then dressed with a tuna and basil pesto dressing. Might sound unusual, but its an Italian classic. The veal comes from a local farm a couple of miles away.
Bumped into somebody in the high street today who asked me when we would be doing our special set lunch. ITS ON NOW!! £10 for two courses!! To quote Jasper Gerard, the restaurant critic of the Telegraph our lunch is "credit-crunchtastic". 10月2日 Christmas is comingAnd the goose, (or geese I should say) over at Lucy Muller's Scrubditch Farm in North Cerney are getting good and fat, and will be a star turn featuring as "Assiette of Lucy Mullers Goose" on the December menu.
Table d'hote menus, Seasonal Menus and Gourmand have all now been made final, and are available to view on our website. www.allium.uk.net
Our December opening times are now agreed, and include Tuesdays and also Christmas Eve this year- come in and wish me happy birthday ( and no, its not a "big birthday" this year!!!!). 9月30日 Here we go againWell, I decided that it was perhaps time to finally set to and re-start our almost defunct blog. It's like a diary started as a teenager,which has run out of steam.
Its strange to look back at last years entries, and at our lovely restaurant under water!
So- whats new? Well, I'm pleased to report that Allium's title "Award Winning" keeps going ....
In the latest edition of The Good Food Guide Allium was awarded "South West Restaurant of the Year" and just last weekend Allium was awarded British Cheeseboard of the Year!!
Here we are picking up our awards!!
Juliet Harbut from the British Cheese awards wrote
"This multi award winning country restaurant has a fantastic British cheeseboard as a central feature of it’s dining experience. With some 25-30 British cheese featured on their trolley including many of this year’s award winning cheeses. Customers can choose as many or as few cheeses as they’d like with most selecting five to sample and enjoy. Traditional cheese and Artisan cheeses (or both) a featured heavily as are local West Country cheeses." More info at www.thecheeseweb.com
Elizabeth Carter from the Good Food Guide wrote 'Allium is a well deserved winner of the regional award. James Graham is something of a food crusader, championing high quality local produce on regularly changing, seasonal menus and delivering some fine and original cooking with a proper appreciation of the importance of flavour.'
My plan is to update the blog weekly with new about what's happening in Allium, and to let you know as the new seasons produce arrives in the kitchen.

10月26日 We've Opened!!Well- we've done it!!
I began to think that it would never happen, but we are finally open! The builders sre still malingering in the background finishing off a never ending snagging list, but the front door is open and we are begining to see both new and familiar faces. Thank you for everyones kind wishes.
Just a quick plug for our forthcoming wine tasting on Wednesday 7th November.
