BLOG - Compliblogs to the Chef

Most restaurants aren't that keen to give their customers a forum to discuss the positives and negatives of their dining experiences. But CRU is quite an unusual restaurant ... As the Chef, I would love to hear all your comments about the food the good, the bad and of course the ugly. I am also always looking to expand my list of local organic suppliers so if you wish to recommend or even share a recipe here 's the place to do so.

I didn't have a trip to your restaurant but now I think I should pay you a visit just because you want me to comment/compliment. Get ready to know my thoughts on your menu :)

Hi there In your new sharing platters you mention grilled lamb with gremolata... sounds divine .. can I be rude and and ask you how to make so I can do the same at my barbecue on Saturday (if it doesn't rain)... if it does maybe we will just come to CRU instead!

Well,  all you need is the rind of one lemon (finely chopped) 3 chopped cloves of garlic (finely chopped), and finely chopped parsely along with salt and pepper & oil, just mix the ingredients together and then drizzle over the lamb when it is cooked.  It is delicious, so enjoy!!

Hi kathie paul here, i wanted to know where i might be able to purchase longwood farms lamb, do they go to any of the markets.

Yes they are at Broadway Market every Saturday, so pop between 9am and 2ish and you will catch them.

Great tapas, amazing chorizo, can you tell me how you made the pepper marmlade?


Well all you need to do is fry off some chilli, red onion and garlic in a pan with garlic oil and sweat them for several minutes.  Then add some red wine vinegar and reduce, once it is reduced you then add some caster sugar, continue to let it to reduce then add the red peppers, fry until the peppers are soft.  Its very simple, any queries on quantities just leave me a blog.  Kathie
