We had:

 The Cullen Skink - loads of smoked haddock; followed by Slow cooked beef and black been chilli and finished with  Panna cotta with roasted rhubarb.

Baked fig with blue cheese and prosciutto followed by Baked sea trout on a bed of braised fennel and new potatoes ( the braised fennel was a great taste) and finished with
Selection of cheeses served with biscuits, bread & butter - a great selection of five cheeses.

Everything absolutely spot on except for some room for two very very minor things - if you're really picky - which we are! The soup was warm/hot rather than hot/hot. And I'd have preferred a long teaspoon for the dessert - I love eating something like this a very small taste at a time.
Well be back when we need a special meal out (must remember it's on a Friday) !


Once again Ulverston excels itself
