The Contented Sole
80 High Street, Burnham-on-Crouch, CM0 8AA
Trust The Contented Sole to 'put the sole back into Burnham', as they prefer to describe themselves. This Andrew Hemingway - Stuart Burbidge venture's palpable commitment to local produce and exceptional food at reasonable prices is commendable, even their mentors Michael Roux and Antony Worrall Thompson may silently nod in approval. A notable list of starters bear the hallmark of good quality ingredients with home cured gravadlax alongside fennel and shallot compote, and filet of beef carpaccio with roquette and shaved Parmesan featuring in the seasonally changing menu. The warm, nutty taste of beurre noisette works well with a whole grilled Dover sole for mains, while the baked sea bass 'en papillote' is a sealed bag of flavour.Trust The Contented Sole to 'put the sole back into Burnham', as they prefer to describe themselves.

At dessert time a sticky toffee date pudding commands respect or if you prefer a little subtlety choose from a winning selection of Norfolk ice creams and sorbets; a meal there ensures that you leave a Contented 'Soul'.

REVIEWS OF The Contented Sole
Annie and Mick (21 September 2007)
Wow what a find, fantastic value for the two course lunch menu for £15/head. The cooking was truly superb - possibly the best soup we've every tasted and as for the home-made bread. Good well-priced wine list and a wonderful-looking a la carte menu - wished we lived locally, and we'd be in there every week.
