Come with an Appetite. I recently had the great pleasure to experience the wonderful tasting menu at Bedrock Bar & Grill. This five-course tasting menu was full of flavor sensations. The specialty of this tasting menu was the Dingley Dell Suffolk Red Pork.
The first thing I recommend is make visit your cheat day for carbs, simply to try the delicious, handmade flatbread with garlic confit and butter. It was divine and everyone in our party wanted more. Only a few of us dared to partake, but even if you restrain – the one portion will be divine.
Our tasting menu was with wine pairing. If you like wine, I recommend this option. The suggested wines work well with the meal and add dimension to your experience. If you are not partial to wine, then skipping it will only leave you more room for all that is good.
The first course was a well balance charcuterie platter, including specialties of well cured and delicious meats. Besides the delicious flatbread, you will have the accompaniment of pickled cucumbers, marinated olives, and a touch of Manchego cheese. This course can be ordered a la carte, should you not have the appetite for a full five course tasting.
The bacon wrapped scallops are lovingly prepared and full of flavor. This writer is temperamental about scallops but knows well prepared seafood when tasted. This item is special to the tasting menu, as is the surprisingly delectable Breaded port trotters. This lovely morsel was almost a confit of pork trotter meat, and it was served with a tasty ‘gribiche’ sauce and pickled pumpkin.
The prune stuffed pork tenderloin course was flavorful and done well. The sides of sauteed onions and spinach made a lovely plate. This is another item available a la carte, and it is tasty as and entre.
The desert is a Chocolate Pot De Crème and it is paired with a lovely Penfold’s Port (20 years). I thought all the wine pairings made a good match, and this was a cut above.
Do not try this tasting menu with a light appetite. There is abundance of food and flavor to savor. Also, do not try eating this on the run. Leave yourself time to enjoy every bite. Best also to bring a friend or a group. Festive food sharing, especially with wine pairing, makes for a special experience.
