《 The Lion Inn 》
Final evening we very a lot loved our first meal out in a restaurant, three programs, not made by us! The dream. As we moved to throughout lockdown that is the primary week we’ve been in a position to go to our new native pub and begin exploring the restaurant scene in Essex. What higher place to begin than thelioninnhotel. 🦁

With heated marquees arrange within the courtyard, you’ll really feel such as you’re in an actual restaurant once more! Albeit it’s finest to wrap up heat since you’re nonetheless outdoors. Our desk wasn’t till 8.30pm so we have been fairly hungry once we sat down. This meant we wolfed up a plate of halloumi fries and calamari earlier than taking a photograph, it was a kind of “oh I don’t care, I’m too hungry moments”. ⛄
.
The breaded halloumi got here with do-it-yourself guacamole, bitter cream and candy chilli sauce. Fried salt and pepper calamari by no means tastes pretty much as good when made at house so this was a should order for us, alongside some do-it-yourself creamy aioli it was delish. 🦑
.
For mains, I had skate wing, chunky chips and tartare sauce. The skate wing was soooo good, cooked completely the fish was meaty and buttery. He had gradual roast stomach of Gloucester Outdated Spot pork which got here with apple sauce, Cornish cider mustard jus, mashed potato and crackling. Each dishes have been beige however my vibrant cocktails brightened up the place. ⛸️
.
For dessert we tried the Lemon Meringue particular and a vanilla creme brûlée. To prime issues off, I had a deluxe chocolate martini which was such a deal with! 🍋

We’re again in our personal kitchen tonight, cooking up a storm. Have an awesome weekend everybody! 👨🍳
