A Perfect Wessex Day at The Dew Pond

Once again Chef-Patron Keith Marshall, who has owned the restaurant with his wife Julie since 1989, created a delicious 3 course menu. A perfect Brixham Crab and celeriac remoulade was followed by a superb roasted rump of lamb, together with Mediterranean vegetables.

The dessert of Tonka Bean Pannacotta with peaches made an excellent finale to the meal, before coffee and Macarons were served.  The accompanying wines were Louriero Quinta d’Amares 2022, Portugal, with the crab, Kilibinbin Seduction Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, South Australia with the lamb, and finally a Sauternes Ch Jany 2022, Bordeaux with the dessert.

The Dew Pond is a firm favourite with Wessex for its reliable and creative menus, using freshly sourced and seasonal ingredients, and personal service provided by Keith and Julie, and their very professional team.   To many it feels like lunch at a favourite relative’s home.   This was endorsed by a large turnout of member numbers, the youngest of whom was a babe in arms who was catered for in an adjoining room whilst his mother enjoyed the delicious lunch in the restaurant.   Everyone enjoyed a very convivial and social afternoon in true Chaine style

The photographs for the event are available in the Gallery.
