Just want to say Hi!
There is something reassuringly robust about The Punch Bowl Inn.
Not just in the old-fashioned bar, where the Wainwright Gold is well kept and
a huge leather sofa sits before a blazing wood burner; or in the
dining room, solid and comfortable, with its old beams, well-trodden wooden floors and tables unadorned with cloths; it's
in the menu, too, mainly British with a Gallic burr, that makes full use of
the magnificent local Lake District larder.
Stornoway black pudding with crispy egg and bubble and squeak: ‘pure Cumbrian comfort by way of
Lewis', is Tom's verdict
We're here with Peter Gott, that great Cumbrian hero, and
the man behind Sillfield Farm, who has invited me up to cook
at the Westmorland County Show; also chef Phil Vickery,
who certainty knows his alliums; and the force of nature that is Lorraine Stanton, something
of a legend around these parts. But first dinner, and a sublime twice-baked Mrs Kirkham's
cheese soufflé, the texture as light as a sigh, the flavour profoundly, lasciviously rich.
Mrs Kirkham's, now made by her son Graham, is one of the
world's great cheeses, and this is a soufflé of quiet majesty.
A mushroom soup is equally splendid, managing to be
both light and gutsy, while Stornoway black pudding with bubble and squeak and a deep-fried egg
is pure Cumbrian comfort by way of Lewis.
There's a fundamental generosity here, matched by assured
technical precision. Duck à l'orange sees a plump breast cooked rare, the skin crisp, the sauce
just the right side of bitter. It comes with a fat potato fondant and cabbage spiked with shards of smoked bacon. I eat rump of lamb, four vast just-pink slices, drenched in the
stickiest, most gloriously intense of gravies; by its side, a tiny shepherd's pie, one bite of pure ovine brilliance.
Puddings are every bit as fine: a lemon tart, beautifully sharp, with damson sorbet (this part of the Lake
District is famed for its damsons); along with a banana soufflé, this time
the classic version but ethereal, served with vanilla ice
cream and a pot of sticky-toffee sauce to pour deep into its molten centre.
This is good old-fashioned food, immaculately done, in the sort of pub
designed for lingering. It's getting late now, and we've an early start.
But first, another bottle of wine. Dinners like this are too rare to be
rushed.
About £45 per head. The Punch Bowl Inn, Crosthwaite, Cumbria; the-punchbowl.co.uk
