	Joby Wells Head chef and co-owner  A word from the chef Finally summer has arrived and with it a whole host of fantastic ingredients to create our new  menu. We have some lovely lighter options such as our chilled tomato soup, with tomato sorbet which has been very popular so far, and for those who like a hearty start to their meal we have our very popular Woodpigeon Wellington making a comeback for all  of the fans from last year! For those of you who like game, we have a new poached rabbit dish on  the menu paired with pearl barley, spinach and carrots for a delicous dish with a rustic flavour to it. We've also introduced Stone Bass to our menu for the first time.  You'd be forgiven for thinking it was Seabass, but this fish is also known as Wreckfish as it likes to loiter around floating wood and wreckage,  feeding on smaller fish (they can reach up to 2m in size!).  We're serving this up with fresh, home-made cannelloni, scallops and tiger prawns, and a bit of samphire making this a very fresh, summery fish dish and our best seller so far on this new menu. Vegetarians have no fear! This really is a fantastic time of year to be a vegetarian with a huge array of flavoursome vegetables in abundance and I have created what I hope you agree are some creative, delicious dishes making the most of the season's produce - and no goats cheese and red peppers in sight! Lemon meringue is back on the menu by popular demand, so if you are one of our customers who has campaigned  for its reappearance then I hope you enjoy its comeback over the next few months.  Be warned though, I have done my utmost to tempt you with other desserts such as Summer pudding with Creme Fraiche sorbet and Bakewell tart with raspberry ripple clotted cream!  Any comments and feedback on any aspect of the menu are appreciated as usual.  I really hope you enjoy the new menu as much as we do!
