| Le
Champignon Sauvage, Cheltenham,
Gloucestershire The unremarkable pub-like
exterior of this intimate 28 seat restaurant does little to prepare the
unsuspecting for the exceptional experience within. Dining room walls
are lined
with Fauvist paintings while tables bear vivid cover plates - both hint
at the boldness and individuality of the chef's style. From an amuse
bouche of vivid green and intensely herbal parsley coulis with parsley
root froth - served alongside a light-as-air foie gras royale with egg
yolk and brioche cream - to a pre-dessert of crème brulee
encrusted
with space dust, David Everitt-Matthias's food continually surprises,
challenges and delights. Flavours are layered and contrasted in a dish
of meltingly tender sweetbread, crusted with cocoa nibs, served with
parsnip puree and liquorice jus, displaying the kitchen's technical
abilities
to pleasing effect. Hedgerow ingredients feature across the menu from
a slow braised breast of veal stuffed with nettles and snails to a
dessert
of frozen prune and burdock root mousse with a wonderfully toasty
almond
ice cream. Service by Helen Everitt- Matthias is genuinely warm and
welcoming
and prices for food and drink are some of the most competitive for
cooking
at this level.

to visit the Cotswolds, but here’s one anyway. Chef/proprietor Marcus
Ashenford last impressed at Chavignol (Michelin star 1998) and this,
his own
restaurant (Michelin star 2006), likewise melds British ingredients
with French technique, albeit more simply (and cheaply); Old Spot pork
with crackling, fondant potato, stuffed cabbage and a cider jus is
deliciously
typical. Villagey charm comes courtesy of heavy wood beams and we're
in complete agreement with the reader who says 'anyone who appreciates
cooking and flavours in food could not fail to be impressed'.
