Finally me & Jayne got a chance to try The Crabmill, neither of us had ever been before and its only down the road from where we live! Ive heard a lot of good things about it as well so it was about time we tried the food!
The place is lovely inside, its really modern with a lot of light. We chose a table in the bar area and looked at the menu, there was SO much choice that we could barley decide what wanted to eat! We decided to go for two starters to start then two sandwiches after to share.
We went for the: Potted prawn, crayfish and brown shrimps with spiced nutmeg butter and melba toast & muscles in a tomato and chilli sauce which was on the specials of the day. The service was very good and the starters came within 15 minutes of ordering them and the waiter asked us a lot if we wanted anything else and if we were happy with our meals.
As you can see by the pictures the portion sizes are a fair size. the potted prawn and crayfish was very unusual, the nutmeg gave it a very unusual flavour which we weren't too sure we liked, but it was nice and the melba toast was a good touch and over all it was a very nice starter which we were glad we tried as prawns and crayfish are two of our favourite fish, it was unusual but good! The mussels were brilliant as mussels always are! They were cooked perfectly and the sauce was yummy, I prefer tomato sauces to creamy wine sauces so this was a bonus for me. we finished every last bite of both of these starters and were very impressed! The prawn dish wasn't cheap at £8.25 which is expensive for a starter but it was worth it! I can't remember how much the mussels were as they are not on the normal La Carte menu but they were no more than £7 which is reasonable for mussels!
For our sandwiches we shared a pork, apple and leek sausage baguette with wholegrain mustard mayonnaise and red onion jam at £6.50 & the hoisin duck, spring onion and cucumber wrap at £6.45. & we shared a bowl of chips between us.
Once again the portion sizes were pretty big for just sandwiches! The sausage sandwich was amazing and a definite favourite for me! The sausages were so thick and juicy and you definitely taste the apple and leek in them and the wholegrain mustard mayonnaise and red onion jam worked so well with the sausages and gave it that perfect mixture of sweet with savoury! The baguette it was on was lovely as well, so crunchy and fresh! This sandwich was to die for and I could have eaten three!! The wrap was also very nice and the duck with hoisin was very tasty! Both of these sandwiches were lovely and I would definitely go to The Crabmill again!!
