Theatre Meal!

Last week I went home on a short little two day trip because me and my family were going to see Barnum at the Alhambra theatre in Bradford! If you don't know what Barnum is it's a show about a circus, I'm not very good at describing things but trust me it was really good! Before we went to see the show we visited 1914, the restaurant in the theatre, and it was amazing! The food was so good I can't even describe how good, but I'll try.

For starter I had smoked salmon mousse which was really nice. The top was actual smoked salmon and the underneath was a mixture of smoked salmon, mustard and creme freshe. I wish that I had kept some bread back because it would have been nice with some bread but it was still good mixed with the rocket underneath. There was just the right amount and it nicely set me up for my main meal.

For my main meal I had pork with red cabbage, cider mash and a cheeky side of cauliflower cheese. The pork was beautiful, it was soft and melted in the mouth underneath but the top was crispy and tasty, the perfect combination. The mashed potato was buttery and smooth and went really well with the sweet cabbage which was crunchy and tasty. The cauliflower cheese was amazing! Possibly one of the best I've ever had, and I do like my cauliflower cheese. This is up there with one of the best meals I've ever had, bold statements.

Dessert was treacle tart. I think when it comes down it could be one of my favourite desserts and this is the best treacle tart I've ever had. It came with clotted cream, which I am in love with, and had a really nice ginger flavour and was buttery and sweet and amazing! The pastry was thin and crispy and the filling was aaaahhhh. That's all I have to say.

I'm really hoping that something exciting comes back to the theatre so that we have an excuse to go again, fingers crossed!

Food Day Twelve

Starter-Spinach Dip 

I didn't really know what to expect with this dish but it was very nice. The spinach sauce type stuff was topped with melted cheese and it was full of flavour and was nice and creamy. It came with warm tortilla chips which were tasty and there were a good amount of them. I liked this as it was different from any other starter that I've had before.
8/10
Main-Pork Scaloppine Oscar
This was very strange and interesting. It was a thin piece of pork covered in a cheesy creamy sauce  with white crab meat on top. It was a very strange but a nice combination. The crab was really delicious, the mash was creamy and the asparagus. The pork was a little tough to cut but wasn't chewy.
7/10
Dessert-Warm Chocolate Cake
This was delicious. It wasn't really a chocolate cake, it was more like a fondant without a melting middle. It was very chocolatly, had a nice texture and a nice portion size. Yummy!
9/10

Another good meal but I could have thought when I ordered not to order too many creamy things as it all got a bit creamy so I'd give it an 8/10 because it was still very tasty. 

Food Day Four

Starter-Creamy Garlic Soup

This soup had so much flavour and a really nice creamy consistency. The croutons gave a nice contrast with the crunchiness and the portion was good but I could have done with just a little less as it was quite filling.

8/10

Main-Pork Tenderloin

I thought that this was gorgeous. The pork was perfectly cooked and was tender and soft. It came with just the right amount of jus and the potatoes that came with it were really tasty. The vegetables let it down a little as the broccoli was too large and over cooked and the carrots were a little under.

7/10

Dessert-Pistachio Ice Cream

It was okay but it had an extremely overwhelming almond favour. The consistency was more like ice that more creamy. 

5/10

This wasn't the best overall meal but the starter and main were both very nice so I think it was a 7/10.
