Michelin has recently added Andrew Sheridan’s Black And Green to its list of recommended restaurants which did not surprise me after my experience there earlier in the year, soon after the north Worcestershire restaurant had opened. I had made a reservation to visit there a few days before the announcement of Michelin’s recommendation so the new added status of the restaurant, which I had previously enjoyed very much, added spice to the anticipation of my second visit.
It was clear that the restaurant really is now functioning at a very high level. Andrew Sheridan told me that he himself works at Black and Green on week nights and is in his city centre restaurant, 8, on Fridays and Saturdays. He also mentioned that he is planning to open another restaurant, with, I think rooms, in Herefordshire during 2023 - an exciting prospect.
Meanwhile the six course menu served on the evening of my visit to B & G was very impressive and the dishes were generally thoroughly enjoyable. Appetisers were made up of olives, a fine plump oyster and a generous helping of tasty bread with cultured butter. The first course was marvellous - scallop with a bountiful amount of caviar and a buttermilk emulsion. then, equally enjoyable, sea trout with plump little mussels. Immaculately cooked, delicious wagyu with ceps and robustly flavoured truffle shards was the centre piece of the meal and there was a happy dessert which apple, yoghurt and white chocolate.
This restaurant is so very good. Is it possible that it may soon be a new star in the firmament when Michelin makes its 2023 awards? It just might be.
