Essence Description
Essence is owned and run by the husband and wife team of Donna and John Adler-Conner; John has a passion for taste and has led some of the area's top kitchens. So whether it's being a head chef in multiple rosette winning restaurants or just cooking for small groups, John has an attention to detail and flair for food.
To provide some ideas about the style of his food, starters might include wild duck liver parfait with shallot and French bean vinaigrette or lobster, mango and celeriac salad with baby spinach and rocket salad with light vinaigrette, followed by pan fried organic salmon on sun blushed tomato confit, ratatouille and sautéed gnocchi with red wine and balsamic reduction or rack of lamb with braised lamb shank canneloni, baby vegetables and red currant jus.
Your Reviews of Essence
Jenruss (2 September 2007)
We had expected a lot more for the price bracket. Restaurant smelt of damp when we had walked in. Champagne was flat, bread was stale, and however cornbread was delicious. Monkfish was tough as an old boot served on a bed of mish mash of indistinguishable flavours. My husband's lamb was much better. Baked fig dessert was rotten, pastry, poor quality and sauce far too tart to accompany dish. Honey ice cream was mediocre. For £30 a head for two courses expected something much nicer. Dishes need to be simplified and not showy so that flavours could come through. Only one other couple dining in restaurant on a Saturday night summed the place up.
