papadeli in the VENUE review

We were so excited to see Tony Benjamin's review of Papadeli's South West France night in this week's Venue.  We had no idea a Venue critic would be at the evening, and it turns out that he has come with his friend not as a critic but as a customer, but had such a lovely time he felt he should write about it!
Alexis John's menu for the evening was truly divine - including "cassoulet as good as it gets, haricot beans bursting with meaty juice of duck haunches, pork sausages and lam shoulder that fell apart at the touch of a fork".
He goes on to describing the cheese course which was "spectacular" and Ossau Iraty cheese "a fine discovery that I'll seek out forever" and then there were "individual tarts tatin, gloriously caramelised and gently sweetened fruit in a soft pastry case".
In all, Tony and his friend had a great time describing it as a "feast of rich flavour from start to finish".
Thank you Tony - we hope you can come again soon!
