Return to the sea

For those of you that do not know Verveine Fishmarket it is a small modern restaurant behind the fishmongers in Milford High Street. Chef/Proprietor David Wykes has trained in Michelin star restaurants throughout France and the UK, he takes modern concepts and combines them with classic combinations of flavours to create a clean and innovative taste using the finest ingredients. He has once again put together an eclectic menu to satisfy the meat lovers as well as the fish lovers amongst us. As before we will enjoy a glass of Prosecco with Canapés, three courses with an option on each course, coffee and petit fours. The menu is below to give you a taster but David says he will use the best fish available on the day. As usual when we are a long way from home the choice of beverage with your meal will be up to you. Those wishing to purchase fish in the shop are advised to arrive early to do so as space is limited.
