Review of The Plantation restaurant
The chance to do a restaurant review is always a treat. In this case, it was The Plantation in Bournemouth, a Canford Cliffs pub with a tranquil conservatory that made for a warm refuge on a chilly day. The menu draws on the best Dorset has to offer. Between the two of us, my brother and I worked through a three-course menu of:
Seared scallops with king prawn and samphire.
Heritage beets with goat's cheese and candied walnuts.
Duck breast with sweet and sour sauce.
Sea bass over chorizo.
Sticky toffee pudding.
Chocolate terrine with honeycomb.
All washed down with a salvo of Upham brewery beers.
