22nd June 2010, 9:18am

Alex Bentley, head chef at The Restaurant at The Petersham on Richmond Hill, has created his annual Simply Seafood menu which runs throughout June and July.

Bentley's classic shellfish bisque – Bentley Bisque with summer herbs has developed a loyal fan base over the years and will be served alongside a host of other seafood treats until the end of July, including potted shrimps with lobster butter, pickled cucumber and sourdough toast; grilled Cornish lobster with heritage tomatoes, courgette beignet and saffron pilau rice and six Irish rock oysters with shallot vinegar and lemon. And that is just for starters.

Main course dishes include roasted seabass, polenta and roasted peppers, smoked aubergine and saffron aioli and a classic Dover sole grilled simply and served with either a beurre blanc or menuière with capers and raisin nut brown butter.

The menu at the Restaurant at The Petersham is available for both lunch and dinner.

Grouse will then be kicking off in August and September, and this will be followed by Bentley's 'Glorious Game' season in October and November, which will include partridge, woodcock, venison and roasted teal – all subject to shooting of course.
