The food

Stephen asked to have steak & chips, but he indicated he would like some great side dish made of special mushrooms.

I love a challenge, so I went to find some unusual mushrooms that you would not eat on a regular basis. I made fried Enoki mushrooms, with marinara sauce. This made up combination, whilst unusual, worked really well as a starter. 

Steak was a rib eye with triple cooked chips. I served it with authentic chimichurri sauce.
