For mains – Atlantic Halibut and Asparagus (Pan Fried Halibut, Green, White and Purple Asparagus, Peas, Broad Beans, Romanesco Broccoli); Asparagus and Lobster (Grilled ½ Lobster, Braised White and Purple Asparagus, Tarragon Hollandaise Sauce); Asparagus Risotto (Carniola Risotto, White, Green and Purple Asparagus.
