This Month's Restaurant Reviews...

BATH
Where did we go? Olive Tree
What did we eat? English rose veal carpaccio with Cornish blue cheese beignets, Dijon mustard and capers; risotto of Cornish crab with crisp tempura and risotto; Creedy Carver duck breast on red cabbage, confit of duck’s leg, fondant potato and duck’s liver; monkfish tail with ‘Jacob’s Ladder’, roast baby onions and cabernet sauvignon sauce.
What did we think? Under new chef Nick Brodie eating here is an unforgettably superior prandial event.
