The Cloche Hat - Tisch reservieren

If you are a fan of the cold (food and location), come here! On Friday 4 November we were greeted very warmly by the attentive staff and Richard, the owner of The Cloche Hat. Rather less welcoming was the temperature in the dining room and the feeble heat from the radiators didn 't lift the levels to allow us to take off our coats but we were hopeful that once the food arrived, we would warm up. Unfortunately, the Taster Menu, which had looked so attractive was utterly dire. The chef 's treat , was barely warm, thick carrot soup served in a shot glass so we couldn 't get to it! Ever hopeful, we pressed on to the Bouche which had been described as gougre sour dough, smoked butter (a misdescription as the butter was only slightly salted and nothing exciting) however the choux pastry stuffed with Philadelphia cheese and grated truffle was pleasant. Happily, the advertised duck did make a very welcome appearance and was beautifully cooked though the accompaniments were quite ordinary. Continuing on with the theme of lazy, pre-pared and flavourless food, we were served a plate of treats to share between us which included two macaroons that had seen better days, two jellies, two pastilles, two tiny little cubes of less than fresh cake. In short, far too much of the food had clearly been prepared well in advance, stored and whipped out of the fridge or freezer without too much care or skill despite the pretentious Taster Menu . This was laziness in the extreme. Hardly surprising that we were the only two diners in the restaurant before two more unfortunates arrived just before we left.

Found the meal rather average. The game terrine was ok, the ox cheeks although tasty were not succulent. The queen of puddings was really disappointing. I had expected a warm desert, instead it was a cold slice of blackberry and ?apple cake with hard meringue pieces on top. The sorbet was good. Nice venue, good service.

We took my son and his girlfriend to the cloche Hat to celebrate his 21st birthday. We all agreed we had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent. All the staff were very attentive, friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. We will certainly return to the cloche Hat. Steve and family

Lovely meal with excellent service. It would be 5stars all the way except for a fiery chunk of chilli in the onion marmalade with the terrine which was really unpleasant. Rest of food was all delicious.
