I visited the Shard Riverside and tried their new menu - it was delicious

Transcript

00:00The Shard Riverside Inn, nestled along the banks of the River Wire and Poulsen-the-Feld,

00:04has introduced a new menu that reflects a deep commitment to quality, local sourcing

00:09and culinary passion. At the heart of it is Dale, the new head chef whose unconventional

00:13journey from novice to leader in the kitchen brings a personal hands-on approach to every

00:17dish. During my visit I sampled several highlights from the new menu. The haddock goujons with

00:22curried mayonnaise were delicately crisp and well seasoned, while the tempura halimi paired

00:26with smoked chilli jam offered a perfectly balanced mix of heat and creaminess. The

00:31parmesan fries with truffle oil were rich and aromatic and the black pudding and induja

00:35bonbons served in a red pepper and tomato ragu were definitely a standout, with their bold,

00:40earthy and rich flavours. What sets this menu apart is not only the skill in preparation

00:45but the integrity of its ingredients. Dale's emphasis on sourcing locally and crafting dishes

00:50with intention is clear in every bite. The Shard's latest offering is a confident, thoughtful

00:55update, one that honours both flavour and place.
