Friday at Fork Handles Kitchen

We were all very excited at Mzuri to celebrate Christmas (better late than never!) recently at the Fork Handles Kitchen in Petersfield. After the team had kindly obliged in sending us a sample menu to salivate over in the run up to the meal, we thought we might be in for a treat – and our expectations were well and truly met on arrival.

The menu, explained to us by friendly and knowledgeable staff, is created from local ingredients all sourced within 30 miles of Petersfield. The food was impeccable; our favourites (near-impossible to choose) were the smoked cod Scotch egg (with a perfectly cooked quail’s egg in the centre –impressing and intriguing all of us!), the Solent bass with celeriac purée, and all desserts – including a 30 mile cheese board – which were practically inhaled due to deliciousness.

It was a great evening, and we award five shining stars to Fork Handles and the Head Chef Richard Gordon – who all ensured we had a great time, even if we were the last ones in there!
