The Cornwall Project at the Dissenting Academy

Last week, we were looking for a place to have a bite to eat in the neighbourhood. There is a pub close by called  the Dissenting Academy. They have recently started inviting pop ups into their kitchen. Currently, the most excellent Cornwall Project is in residence and boy, they rock.

The British Boy and I rocked up and poured over the frequently changing menu, not sure what to have. You see, I might have mentioned this before, Max is not a big fan of sharing plates. At a push, he will share an appetizer, but he does not like the idea of having a plethora of plates and trying various things. Spoil sport.

We settled on sharing the scallops, which I am always drawn to on a menu. I love scallops! These were sweet and had some nice crust with the coral intact, and the sauce poured over - some creamy heart attack waiting to happen - was delicate and went very well with the leeks and potatoes. There was almost too much sauce.

Luckily we had each ordered a flank steak with radish, cherries and kale. The steak was chewy in the right places, nicely charred, juicy and the cherries and radishes provided a lovely sour and fresh contrast. We moped up the leftover scallop sauce with the steak. Delish.

Yum.

I am definitely up for coming back and hope the Cornwall Project are staying in residence for a while.
