The White Onion, Private Dining Room

The White Onion has that perfect mix of high quality food, while in a relaxed and informal setting. My friend and I visited recently for dinner and were so pleased we did. It is designed with class and refinement in mind and felt just great. We spoke to the excellent waiter about our first dining experience there, and he was more than happy to help us through the options on the menu. To start, we chose the oven baked Brixham scallops with celeriac and truffle purée, lardo, Herefordshire apple jelly and the roasted Norfolk quail with sesame fig relish, crispy tapioca. Each was cooked to perfection and we both loved every mouthful. On to the main course, and the Scottish venison saddle with glazed beetroots and herbs, apple purée, girolles, venison sauce as well as the rump of English veal with carrot and apricot purée, hay baked heritage carrots, tamarind jus both sounded too good to miss. We both love our meat and it was a pleasure to see such options on the menu. The venison in particular was cooked with skill, care and attention. This was matched by the continuing quality attention shown by the waiting staff. There was still room for dessert, and after much deliberation we went for the quince tarte tatin and the pistachio ice cream, as a pair of sweet toothed people! They were the ideal way to finish of a great meal and we have both vowed to come back and try something different next time. It all sounded so good!
