“The special menu features Salt Cod Bites, with Gosling’s Rum and Coconut Chowder; Kale Salad with Pickled Paw Paw, Miso Garlic Dressing, Raisins and Tucker’s Farm Goat Cheese; Gombey Pepper Jam Glazed Baby Back Pork Ribs with Wadson’s Farm Potato and Corn Salad and Pickled Vegetables; Pan Roasted Snapper Banana “Ketchup”, Rice and Peas, Baby Bok Choy.
“Dessert is also a local affair, with diners having the choice of either Banana Fritters with Cardamom Sugar and Coffee Ice Cream or the Railway Trail Pimento Leaf Crème Brûlée served with Strawberry Compote.
“Local suppliers whose ingredients are incorporated into the menu include Gombey Jam, Gosling’s, Tucker’s Farm and local farmers such as Amaral, J & J Produce, JaVaughn Dill and Wadson’s Farm as well as fishermen Stephen Cabral and Kiaune Basden.”
