Stunning decor, ample portions and well put together affordable menu, My First visit to the dog inn but definitely not my last Leek and maris piper soup was hot and delicious, the truffle oil was a welcome twist on a classic dish, highly recommended, rich and creamy despite being vegan and not having a trace of butter anywhere to follow was the Sage and Butternut Squash Risotto, three words, TO DIE FOR, perfectly cooked risotto, fresh peas, pieces of roasted butternut squash, and the garstang blue cheese was incredible, melting through the rich creamy rice, perfectly seasoned and every forkful a delight. to accompany my perfect and i impress upon the word perfect risotto i had a portion of triple cooked chips. crisp, fluffy and without a trace of grease, absolutely incredible quality cooking! to follow these culinary triumphs i opted for the Banana Parfait, served with blackpool berries, homemade honeycomb , dark chocolate and caramel sauces from this weekends special menu, and although the parfait wasn't as light as i expected it to be, the natural banana flavour was incredible!, the honeycomb was crisp and melted on the tongue like good honeycomb should, sweet and tart berries and bitter dark chocolate complimented the sweetness of the parfait perfectly. my most sincere thanks and compliments to Mark and Jamie well done. i will certainly be back :D
