Festival of St James (six course tasting menu)

At the end of July every year pilgrims gather in the city of Santiago de Compostela in Spain and celebrate its biggest festival of the year: the St James Festival. Now Liverpool has the chance to sample the food along one of the routes from the comfort of their own city on Thursday 25th July. Pilgrim’s food is inspired by this ancient pilgrimage as the team curate the menu around the different routes pilgrims take to Santiago de Compostela. This route or ‘camino’ named ‘The French Way’ starts in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port located in the French Pyrénées and runs through Pamplona, Burgos, Castilla Y Leon and on to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, arriving in time for St James Festival. This festival is a chance for pilgrims to celebrate their journey.

The tasting menu will be based on The French Way, taking customers on a culinary journey to emulate the pilgrimage of nearly 800KM. The first stop in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port will feature smoked butter poached scallops with cucumber and keta caviar. Next up, Pamplona. Rainbow trout with smoked tomato will be served, followed by Burgos with Morcilla De Burgos (Spanish blood sausage), leek and almonds filling plates. León will welcome goat on a chickpea fabada with migas whilst to represent the town of Sarria, attendees will witness octopus and potato crisp with a broad bean salsa. For the last stop in Santiago de Compostela diners will tuck into a St James tart made with beer-poached cherries.
