Goose Fat & Garlic
52 Bell Street, Sawbridgeworth, CM21 9AN
Goose Fat and Garlic's glass façade and smart-looking interior bring in an appealing cosmopolitan look to the historic town of Sawbridgeworth. Inside, the wooden floors and warm tones add a more contemporary note to this restaurant. There's a modern European accent to the cooking which is evident in starters of natural smoked haddock in a rich cheddar fondue topped with a fine crudité and confit of leg of duck served on a black bean and watercress sauce, garnished with feathered scallions. For the main event a honey roasted boneless saddle of lamb sits on a cushion of caramelised onions dressed with a wholegrain mustard jus, alongside roasted courgettes and French bean parcels.Goose Fat and Garlic's glass façade and smart-looking interior bring in an appealing cosmopolitan look to the historic town of Sawbridgeworth.

Deep-fried wasabi salmon, crispy pieces of pork with potatoes, olive oil and sweet paprika, char-grilled chicken steeped in garlic and herbs, and Greek smoked cod roe pâté could just be the right antidote for your tapas cravings.

REVIEWS OF Goose Fat & Garlic
Hayley (16 February 2009)
My partner and I visited the first time yesterday and highly recommend it. Everything deserved five stars - the food was perfect, out of this world, extremely mouth watering and the service was excellent. The menu was very reasonably priced with a big selection of meals to cater for everybody’s palate. My partner is very rarely enthusiastic about food and tends to have the same thing wherever he goes but here he tried something new and loved it. It’s very quiet and this will be our restaurant of choice for meals out and family get together in the future. All who work there are doing a great job.
Trojan Horse (30 March 2008)
This could have been a nice meal in the company of friends but it turned into a night of disappointment. The restaurant was busy but not overly so and after a drink at the well stocked bar we found our table. An impromptu meal for a party of four started reasonably well, the entrées were delightful. The duck pâté was full of robust country flavours yet the toast served with it was stone cold. The highlight was my companion’s battered king prawns with an Aioli mayonnaise and a flavoursome sweet chilli dip. The batter was crisp and light and served as a subtle medium to support the good quality tiger prawns. The third entrée was a smoked salmon dish, which although quite tasty looked strange but this did not detract from its flavour. The last was the soup - mushroom and chestnut served with croutons which arrived nine minutes after the other starters but was very good. The plats de resistances were disappointing. From the main menu we ordered sea bass, lamb steak, beef medallions and steak. The portions were small and tasted bland. I think it was an expensive night for a mediocre meal.
