We had heard rave reviews from our holiday cottage guests lucky enough to get a table but needed a really special occasion to dine here. That happened last night when our foodie friends and former Leicester neighbours (they take gastro city breaks to visit famous Michelin starred restaurants around Europe) came to stay...
Almost two years into our move here and what a discovery.
Despite this being our first visit, after some Instagram messaging we were welcomed like old friends and over the next two hours our taste buds were thrilled over and over again.
Proceedings start with a surprise amuse-bouche – luxuriously rich Parmesan gougères, followed by an accomplished homemade focaccia. A confidently concise yet classic dinner menu (three choices per stage) showcases local and seasonal produce as well as more eclectic ideas. We both had scallops and pork belly for starters. For mains, Paul had the fillet of Hereford beef accompanied by braised ox cheek and pomme Anna; Angela a mouth-watering Monkfish tail, while our friends had some delicious Roe Deer .
Desserts hail the comforting classics, perhaps crème caramel, treacle tart or baked cheesecake, while the cheese plate and crackers were to die for! After every course, our plates cleaned and Paul would have literally have licked his plate had he been allowed. 😋

The chef James's cooking and presentation were fabulous, what an amazing chef he is. The restaurant feels more like an Auberge in France, it felt so authentic.

All dishes were seasonal, beautifully prepared and presented, mouth wateringly delicious! The wine list was brief but chosen to superbly compliment the dishes. Service throughout was relaxed, friendly and efficient.The overall cost of our wonderful meal was more than reasonable considering the quality of the food and wine we had enjoyed. I have eaten at 3* Michelin restaurants and this experience definitely equals them and is one of the best meals I have enjoyed......a planned return is in progress regardless of the fact we live over 2 hours away, 33 The Homend is...
