The Glasshouse review by Anon

Rather like the curates egg , good in parts.My wife and I dined in a full restaurant on a Thursday evening and it was pleasantly buzzy. Service was excellent,friendly and efficient.

The food was mixed. A superb rabbit and girrole tagliatelle, the understated cream sauce full of flavour with the pasta nicely al dente.

My wife had a servicable warm duck salad which she enjoyed but " it wasn't special".

Main courses were mixed. A beautifully judged lamb rump with provencal vegetables which was a delight both to look at and to eat.

Slow cooked belly pork was totally misjudged. It is a wonderfully robust dish which does not require tarting up. The choucroute was a good idea but the apple tart on which the pork was perched was just a misplaced conceit.

We drank an entry level Cote de Gascoine which was decent and finished with very good coffee.

Was it worth the £95 the two courses cost? Not really, the cooking was too uneven to justify these high prices.
