We are celebrating World Chocolate Weekend from 7th – 9th of July and we would love you to join us!
Chocolate, since its discovery in the 1500’s has widely become regarded as the world’s favourite food. Originally used as a sweet treat, but now in more modern times the tendency is to move to a more bitter savoury flavour. Chocolate can be combined in so many ways, pick out spice with chillies, or the sharpness of sea salt. Chocolate can add a richness to stews and sauces, giving an extra level and dimension to the palate.
In our Squires restaurant, we have selected chocolate from around the world, using a network of local suppliers including Cheese plus, Town & Country and Infusions. We are using a selection of different chocolates, from 30% Milk chocolate to crisp snap of a 70% bitter dark glossy chocolate with the Venison. The different percentages in the chocolate dictates how much cocoa butter content they have, so the finer chocolate should have a clean crisp snap, and start to melt very quickly in your fingers.
Please enjoy our Chocolate menu and see how versatile the “world’s favourite food” can be!
