Wellington Wednesdays at The Penny Black Restaurant

23rd September 2011, 8:47am

From Wednesday 5 October The Penny Black Restaurant in Chelsea is introducing a special menu dedicated to the Wellington.

Every Wednesday, there will be a selection of different interpretations of the Wellington, from the classic beef fillet, to lobster and a spiced pumpkin and parsnip filling.

Prices will range from £17 for roasted vegetable, to £25 for the beef wellington.

Originally based on the classic French 'boeuf en croute', beef wrapped in pastry, the beef Wellington is named after the Duke of Wellington in 1851.

Overseen by Tony Ho and head chef Jan Chanter, The Penny Black Restaurant showcases favourite British dishes including toad in the hole or a traditional Sunday roast with all the trimmings and classic desserts such as raspberry baked Alaska and rice pudding.

Diners can also choose from a selection of over 150 wines from around the world including English wines such as the Nyetimber Blanc de Blancs, 2001.
