The Sunday Telegraph, June 2005
Acorn-fed jamon Iberico proved a lavish serving of excellent lean ham on its own wooden board, char-grilled lamb cutlets with peperonata were succulent and well seasoned, chorizo cooked in cider was incredibly rich, and char-grilled quail with paprika and garlic was tender and juicy, if lacking depth of flavour- not a charge their worst enemy could lay against tangy spare ribs in a honey sherry sauce, a fleshy, flaky confit of Gloucester Old Spot pork belly with rosemary - scented cannelloni beans and tuna carpaccio with baby broad beans and salsa verde... In fact the best was saved to last, in the form of two splendidly rustic vegetarian dishes- crispy baby artichokes with sea salt and lemon and- best of all- courgette flowers stuffed with Monte Enebro cheese and honey that struck me as just the kind of dish they'd have served on Mount Olympus if ever the ambrosia had run out
