COME DINE WITH ME…no really do come dine with me you are invited and I am doing the cooking this is official…………you just have to book turn up and eat and drink

After lots of talking and no action it is time I stopped talking and took some action and so I am launching Hanslope’s (first and only I think) newest supper club/pop up restaurant.

We have a name:   SQUASH and SQUEEZE

We decided to call it Squash and Squeeze as we have to turn our home upside down as will be squashing and squeezing tables and chairs in to our dining room and lounge and squeezing and squashing as much flavour and interest in to the food as we can.

Everything that we make and present to you will be homemade and carefully sourced. 

The date is set and so is the menu and the location

The date:

Friday 15th April 2016  

Time  7 for 7:15  to 11.00

The location:

My place in Hanslope (between Northampton and Milton Keynes)  full details will be sent when you Book

The menu:

It seems fitting that since the thing that got me on to this was Come Dine with Me which incidentally I won (don’t know if I have mentioned it before) will be my Come Dine with Me menu with a few additional bits and pieces.  

Welcome drink and a little seasonal something to tickle the taste buds!

Starter:

Bullet Smoked (Apple) Duck Breast with Seasonal Salad and a Sweet Chilli Dressing

Main:

Sea bass Fillet with a cointreau &citrus sauce and land and sea vegetables

Dessert:

Treacle Tart with Clotted Cream or Vanilla Ice Cream and raspberry sauce

Cheese:

A selection of cheeses, some home smoked with homemade breads

Coffee / Tea

First and for mostly we want you to have a great time with your friends and maybe make some new ones, and secondly I really want to challenge myself in the kitchen.  This is an experience for us and all being well for you in a unique setting.

Dress code is entirely up to you, I think most people will make an effort.  

BYO - Bring your own drink. Because we don’t have a licence (and have enough to worry about with the food and service) you can really go to town on the wine that you choose to bring and if you so wish I will happily suggest some wines that will pair with the dishes.  We will provide chilled water but anything else please bring with you.

We are not a commercial kitchen but a passionate home cook, so this is a set meal with no choices, and if you really don’t like something don’t worry there will be something else along in a little while. That said if on first sight the menu is really not to your taste then please don’t book.

You will be served by my family and friends so please be courteous and they will do their best to make your evening memorable for the right reasons!

Book early and the numbers you book for are the ones you pay for so no cancellations please, as I will have sourced and prepared all the ingredients and unlike a restaurant I will not have anyone else to sell it to.

Book on your own, as a couple or as a group and once we are full we are full.

Price:   £30:00 per head first come first served.

Finally dependant on how this turns out we “may” do it again with a different menu or theme.

Any questions let me know    

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Squash and Squeeze

Cheers and bon appetite
