#Thyme bar drinks skin
Garnished with a crispy fried salmon skin for an extra crunch and funk that the guest can enjoy before and during the cocktail journey. The Thyme Bar Experience is a prix-fixe menu for outdoor dining consisting of an amuse-bouche, a Le Jardin cocktail, a food item, a Floriography cocktail. The Chatpata Fizz, for instance, is made with El Silencio Mezcal, Chatpata Soda,Lime, Pandan, and Pine Smoke. Terrariums aren’t just meant for plants at Thyme Bar. Maybe not the chef's fault this time, but the system used by Premier Inn.The Chatpata Fizz cocktail is served in a terrarium with a crispy salmon skin. The breakfast was standard Premier Inn - although, as the hot food was laid out under lamps, some items were barely warm. When I paid the bill the waitress refused to accept a tip because of my comments - but the problems had been in the kitchen and it was a shame the waiting staff, who were attentive and pleasant, missed out. (The Masterchef judges always seem to expect crispy skin !) The bearnaise sauce seemed to have a film of oil on the top and the fish skin was burnt and soggy. Those who can remember Smash (and the Martian advertising theme), will understand how that looked. I had swapped the fries for mashed potatoes, which appeared to have been slopped onto the plate, partly covering the fish. Now, I'm no a food connoisseur but the presentation didn't look right.
Normally, in other Thyme restaurants, this dish it is served on an oblong platter and usually looks appetising - but not this time. The meal was served in a fairly small round dish, with even the jug of sauce inside the rim, touching the food - so the presentation was not good - even poor. However, as soon as the main course (salmon steak) was delivered something didn't look quite right - although it subsequently turned out to be tasty, so the problems were not with the ingredients but the preparation. the meal deal option (which included the breakfast the following morning) and my starter (tempura prawns) and desert (bread and butter pudding) were perfect. My meal would have been the first to be cooked that evening. I stayed at the Premier Inn and was the first customer to enter when the restaurant opened, so there was ample staff to take my order and bring drinks and food. Well done guys, lovely meal and you have convinced me that not all Thyme restaurants are the same.Īnd Roz, thank you very much for your exemplary service. Very good value for money being that my husband and I had the menu saver meals. The steaks were cooked well and the burgers were meaty, juicy and extremely flavoursome. The battered prawn and the duck parcels starters were lovely. Very pleasantly surprised by all the meals. At one point, being that I work in catering also and know how hard a work it is I wanted to get up and give her a hand but was actually enjoying my food too much. (I hope I have spelt it right), who seated us and from start to finish was very professional, even when we had a couple of questions about the meal when it first came out and the fact that she seemed to be on her own to seat, take orders, bring drinks and food to tables as well as at times behind the bar serving.Īlthough she had more than half a dozen tables to serve (one of them a larger table) she was on the go at all times and looking one step ahead. We are staying at the Premier tonight and took a chance with eating at the Thyme as after a long drive we were tired but have had bad experiences previously at other Thyme restaurants around the country.Īnyway, we were greeted by the lovely Roz.
