Our smaller dining room.....
This room is used for Lunchs and Dinners (in winter)and as our Breakfast room all year.
It can also be used as a small function room catering for upto 22. It has a very warm feel to it, it is extreamly cozy in winter when the open fire is burning away!
We contribute a recipe to the local paper each month.....
Mussels in Sweet Chilli Crème Fraiche
Serves 1
1 portion Fresh Mussels
½ White Onion Thinly Sliced
2 floz White Wine
4oz Crème Fraiche
1 tblspn Sweet Chilli Sauce
White Pepper
Clean the mussels free of all barnacles de-beard and wash, (alternatively buy cleaned ones, but they are a lot more expensive!).
All fresh mussels should be closed. If any are open to ensure they are still live tap them gently on their pointed end, this should make them close. If they do not close do not use them - chuck-um away!
Heat a wok to smoke point. Add the onion and mussels, then add the wine. This will steam the mussels and start to open them. Cook for 2 – 3 mins then add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat stirring the mussels occasionally. If the sauce is too thick add a touch of wine or water. All the mussels should open fully when ready, if any do not open discard them.
Serve with crusty bread and butter.
Mike the Chef!
ps this is a fairly standard recipe.......you could swap the chilli for any other flavouring to suit your taste, at the Forth we use things like Pickled Ginger, Curry Paste, and Lemon Grass & Chive etc....etc.. enjoy

The Gathering.......
This is our main dining area during the summer evenings. It also serves as a function room for weddings etc. It really is a fantastic room.
