The 3 Michelin stars Waterside Inn at Bray: Headed up by the legendary Alain Roux this place sends foodies hearts racing and screams nostalgia. If you manage to visit on a sunny day you will have a game changing culinary experience filled with positivity and stunning views.

A lovely summers day wouldn’t be right without some elegant canapés and a delightful Pimm’s rocking your taste buds. The Waterside Inn...

Probably the most expensive starter I’ve had rocking in at £64. Nevertheless, this lobster with white port sauce was spectacular. Words can’t truly depict the classic culinary excellence that went into this. Where can we go from here?

Ummmm....can you guess what magic is about to be plated?

Roasted Challandais Duck. “The Challandais duck is thought of as the star of its breed, leader of its domain. This duck benefits from an acidic earth and is reared in fields with a taste of seaside winds. Most beneficial is the mild climate here, which allows the duck to  roam free outside all year round, in total liberty. It is fed mainly a cereal based diet. The Challandais duck is reared with lots of care.”
