From the farmer: Farming is seasonal, using different storage methods to make the best use of ingredients and serve them all year round as extra flavour or as the focus of a dish. The food is served on individual plates and is vegetarian.
From the forest: Venison and wild boar as there is plenty of game in the county. The choice of meat, sausage and jus is based on using the whole animal.
A sharing approach is taken to all the protein and sauces – meat, a little sausage and a yellow pea croquette.
The dessert highlights the beautiful rhubarb fields at the foot of the Omberg mountain, partnered with a spiced biscuit said to originate from Saint Birgitta.
Beautifully presented
