FOOD & DRINK foodanddrink There's the beef New restaurant manager for The Hambrough Daniel Edwards would like to introduce our new Restaurant Manager for The Hambrough, Cedric Lesage who joins us from Paris and his new partner Maria Eisenzoph who will be joining the team at The Pond Café. We know they will be a great contribution to the high standards that you expect. On the Rocks, which brought ski-resort style hot rock cooking to Yarmouth, is raising the profile of its steaks to new heights. Or should that be widths? “We’ve got a challenge going on for real steak fans. If they finish a 64oz steak they get put on our Hall of Fame wall, and get to go home with a tee shirt.” says proprietor Richard Thomas. While the restaurant was set up to celebrate locally-produced meat, the supersized steak challenge is not for everyone. Chicken www.wightfrog.com/islandlife life s w e n d o o f and fish are also cooked on the volcanic rock slabs, served with chips and salad. The first chap to make it to the Hall of Fame wall was part of a party of eight: since its expansion at the turn of the year On the Rocks is ideal for large parties, while, with its original, smaller room, more intimate groups can be catered for at the same time. The latest innovation is the On the Rocks dial-up rotisserie. Anyone wanting a cooked chicken or joint of meat during the day can phone in their order for a hot, tender joint to take away. “I know it will appeal to the yachties coming in to Yarmouth and wanting something quick, easy and tasty to take back on board with them,” said Richard. “But it won’t only be holidaymakers who use the service.” On the Rocks, Bridge Road, Yarmouth. 760505. 95
