Earl Grey Martini

We try to use local ingredients in our drinks as well as the food. For this Martini we’ve used Lincoln Gin and Earl Grey tea from a nearby supplier. I’ve added cardamom for subtle spice and honey for a little sweetness.

Strawberry and Basil Mojito

The inspiration for this came from an amazing strawberry and basil jam we were sent by a supplier who just moved to France. We add a spoonful of it to our normal Mojito mix. The basil adds a pepperiness that complements the mint. Perfect for summer.

Guava Negroni

One of my favourite cocktails is a Negroni, so I like to find ways to push it a bit further. For our summer menu, we’ve made this guava version. The fruit has a great bitterness that lends itself well to Campari. We make a guava-infused rum and add it to the drink.

Potatoes

Stir a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise through mashed potato; the egg and oil make the potatoes smoother and more creamy. This trick works for scrambled eggs too!

Grilled cheese

Brush the outside of a cheese sandwich with mayonnaise before grilling. It stops it sticking and gives a perfect golden crunch.

Glaze

Lightly brush pastry, pies or bread with mayonnaise before baking to get a glossy egg-wash style finish.

Dress it up

Add chopped fresh herbs, a squeeze of lime juice, crushed garlic, a pinch of curry powder or dash of chilli sauce to upsell ready-made mayonnaise as a premium garnish.
