For a late Summer night, in pictures

Last week was a busy one and it ended with a gorgeous gathering of friends here at our Table.

And our weekend continued with a gregarious group gathering to eat and enjoy at Charlie and Evelyn's Table. Such a privilege to share our home and our hospitality:

Menu for the weekend

This weekend, we're trying something different, two groups with very similar dietary requirements and definitely no mushrooms, if we had a table large enough, we'd be tempted to have them all together! We don't, so we're going to serve the same delicious menu instead:

To start
Last of the Summer tomato tarts with {or without (v)} crab salad

To follow
Sea bream {or Paneer (v)} with Tandoori butter, crushed saffron potatoes and coconut green beans

To finish
Strawberry shortbread cardamom pots with spiced white chocolate and rose sponge

A gregarious group gathered here on Thursday, the perfect kick start to our weekend. Wine flowing, jokes told and a Charlie and Evelyn style feast. An email the next day revealed many of the diners are already keen to return and we'd be delighted to have them back!

We're so busy in the kitchen, we forgot to post our menu. This is what we're making for tomorrow's guests. Are you hungry?


To start
Rare roasted beef, garden salad, squash ribbons

To follow
Pan- fried sea bream, madras curry, samphire

To finish
Chocolate tarts, white chocolate and mascarpone ice cream, strawberries.

Menu for a happy hat-trick

The conclusion to the first of our triple bill in supper clubs. Here goes:

To start
Hot smoked salmon and spring onion tart {or salad for our gluten free guest}

To finish
Summer fruits, mascarpone and white chocolate ice cream, petite chocolate brownies.

For a Scottish, Italian Feast #1, in pictures.

Despite our first ever group cancellation this week and thanks to some enthusiastic diners joining us last minute, Friday's supper went ahead with all the usual verve and reminded us happily of how our supper club started at the original Charlie and Evelyn's Table. The guests and flavours were vivacious and we hope we transported their taste buds to Italy with some fine Scottish produce. Here are my pics.

To welcome Caledonian blue cheese mousse, homemade oat biscuits.

Pea and pecorino smash, toasted ciabatta.

To amuse Pappa al pomodoro.

To start Venison carpaccio, garden salad (thanks Hannah), orange.

 To follow Pan-fried cod, tomato farro, green beans, salsa verde.

Fig, nectarine, Tallegio, homemade crackers.

 To finish Ricotta and white chocolate cheesecake, strawberries with basil, walnut and date shards.

With coffee Chris's homemade chocolate truffles.
