Very pleased to report the
staff are still very friendly & still serving excellent food! SM
Visited March 2004
This Restaurant is part of a chain, all
following the theme of being situated in lovely old buildings of
character. Edwinns in Fareham is Georgian. A real bonus, being in the
heart of Fareham, they have their own car park at the rear of the restaurant.
We have already reviewed their Harefield Middlesex venue, (on Out of
Hants page) &, as it received a high rating, we were really looking
forward to our lunch! We were not dissapointed.
All 4 Ladies Who Lunch got together there
yesterday and found it had a great atmosphere with very friendly staff,
booking would seem essential as it was busy. Menus & opening times
on their website.
We had their set lunch menu @ £10.95 for 2
courses. We started with Thai Fish Cakes with Sesame Stir Fry Vegetables
and Sweet Chili Sauce. A large bowl of Red Pepper Soup with Crunchy Bread.
Smoked Haddock Kedgeree with Light Curry Sauce and lastly, Sweet Melon, Fresh
Fruits with a Passion Fruit Coulis. All excellent flavours and well
presented, the favourite was the Kedgeree.
Main courses, two chose Edwinns Fish Pie
with Leek, Spinach and Mashed Potato topping ( very yummy), one Baked Salmon Fillet
with Pesto Crumb, Sautéed Spinach and Fresh Tomato Sauce, & one Marinated
Chargrilled Chicken with Mediterranean Vegetables and Herb Jus. Good
selection of fresh market vegetables. Good size portions enjoyed by all!
Feeling full but for research purposes we had one
delicious Almond and Blueberry Tart with Raspberry Coulis and one Cheese and Biscuits,
which consisted of about 5 different cheeses, a selection of biscuits, grapes
and celery, excellent value. All Puddings are £4.75 each. We
finished with coffees and, together with a good South African Chenin Blanc @
£12.95 & 4 G & T's
