Spotlight On Black Dog Chester
The Black Dog Chester delivered some gorgeous meals to to keep our cravings for great quality restaurant dishes at bay during lockdown
Visting a restaurant with friends or family is one of my favourite things to do and whilst that currently is not an option, enjoying restaurant-quality meals at home is. The Black Dog Chester is located on Whitchurch Road in Waverton and offers a takeaway or collection service on Thursdays through to Sundays. Their most popular offerings are their 2 for 1 burger/pizza nights on a Friday and Saturday, but the restaurant also offers fine dining, traditional classic British dishes and an incredible Sunday lunch with all the trimmings (yes, including pigs in blankets!). The venue has recently released The Black Dog Afternoon Tea which is a selection of Finger Sandwiches, Homemade Cakes, Macaroons, Fruit Scones, Clotted Cream and Jams, perfect for a picnic. The Black Dog also provides a children's fun meal, meaning the whole family can enjoy this service.
OUR EXPERIENCE
The venue is working from a time slot system, where customers pre-order online and choose a time slot for delivery or collection. I opted to collect my meals. The Black Dog was easy to find and I was impressed by how well thought out the social distancing collection system was.
Once home, I was keen to get eating. The first thing I noticed was the quality of the packaging. Each course was perfectly presented in its own reheat box which (due to the quality of the packaging) didn't actually need to be reheated. The portion sizes for each course were incredibly generous. For our starter, I tried the Ham and Parmesan Croquette and Crispy Cod Cheeks and I can honestly say I have never had better cod cheeks in my life.
For our main, I opted for the succulent Medium Supreme of Chicken which came with a creamy Fondant Potato, Beetroot Puree, Roasted Baby Carrots, Glazed Shallot and a tasty jus. My lockdown dining partner opted for the Pave Rump Steak which came served With Skin On Fries Confit Tomato and Mushroom. Both courses had generous portion sizes but in the name of gluttony, we soldiered on to try our desserts.
To finish I opted for A Trio of Mini Chocolate Desserts which included a white chocolate truffle and a gorgeous chocolate and orange tartlet. My dining partner opted for the Lemon and White Chocolate Pavlova which was a delicious gluten-free option that included pistachio dust and mixed berries. We are already planning our next meal.
With perfectly presented and packaged meals and a safe service, The Black Dog Chester is a prime example of how you can enjoy fine dining at home, without having to cook. The only regret is not ordering drinks from their extensive wine list.
Collection is available to all and delivery is available across a wide range of Cheshire.
