Commonwealth Club’s bespoke menus

18th March 2008, 4:12pm

The Commonwealth Club’s Head Chef Mark Page is devising bespoke seasonal menus that feature a number of growing dining trends.

Set in the heart of England's establishment, the Commonwealth Club is home to the Royal Commonwealth Society.
 
Bespoke menu items combine locally sourced produce with a host of flavours from across the Commonwealth and include: White Asparagus, Tarragon Oyster Mushroom and Micro Roquette Salad, with a nod towards Great Britain's favourite dish, a tandoori quail, plantain curry and crisps starter.
 
Continuing the mutton renaissance led by Prince Charles, Clay Baked Spiced Mutton, Fenugreek Spring Rolls, Olive Crusted Gurnard, Basil Pappardelle feature too; and desserts draw on spring's harvest with Iced Rhubarb Mousse, Rosewater Jelly, Caramelised Peach, Almond and Amaretto Tart

Mark is constantly looking for ways to keep both his banqueting and restaurant dining menus in line with today's sophisticated palate; and health and ethical issues clearly appear top of his diners' agendas.
 
The inclusion of organic and fair-trade items reflects these themes.

Head Chef Mark explained more: "The amount of people who ask if the sea bass is line caught, the cod sustainable or the tuna dolphin friendly has risen dramatically in the ten years I have been working at the Commonwealth Club."
 

He added: "The menus are increasingly reflecting all of these apprehensions people have concerning the fishing trade."

Menus are priced from £31.48 excluding vat for three courses.

The Commonwealth Club is recognised across the globe as a centre for the exchange of ideas and knowledge – keynote addresses have been made by Prime Ministers, Nobel Prize winners, Presidents and Heads of State.

The Commonwealth Club, 25 Northumberland Avenue, London, WC2N 5AP.
