Photos by emma Chaplin It is a bitterly cold day when I go to review the King’s Head with Sussex Wildlife officer, Michael Blencowe, and I’m looking forward to a warm pub, good food and interesting company. I remember the last time we met in town he was carrying a tin of furry caterpillars to release in the Railway Land. Given his penchant for carrying extraneous creatures about his person, Michael surprises me when he admits to being unadventurous in his food tastes. The plan for today, he tells me, is to try things he’s never eaten before. He spots a starter on the menu that includes eel. And, when we’re told the fish of the day is grey mullet, that catches his attention too. “I see them all the time in the Ouse but I’ve never eaten one,” he says. I decide on the two-course set menu for £12, choosing a salad with bacon and Jerusalem artichoke, followed by mussels. Immediately after the recent renovation, I remember someone saying it had been ‘Farrow & Balled’. Today it still has a nice open, elegant feel, but it somehow feels more cosy. The addition of art and photography on the walls helps. They source their food and drink very carefully and are quite rightly proud to be the only place in Lewes to get into the 2012 Good Food Guide. We bypass the wine list with some regret, since it’s the middle of a working day. I enjoyed their Argentinian Malbec on a preview visit. We take our drinks up to the purple wallpapered area near the kitchen. www.vivaLewes.CoM the king’S head A culinary adventure in Southover Food Our starters arrive swiftly. Michael’s salad comprises smoked eel, crisp bacon, pieces of Jerusalem artichoke, slithers of fennel as well as rocket and capers (£6.50). Mine is similar but with more bacon and no eel. Both are beautifully dressed, zingy and delicious. After the main courses are brought to the table, Michael remarks on how good the service is, and he’s right. It’s attentive without being obtrusive, friendly and efficient. My bowl of plump mussels in cream and wine is vast and steaming, scattered with chopped shallots. We also have some superb chunks of seeded Flint Owl bread to share. Michael’s attractive-looking, crisp-skinned fillet of grey mullet comes in a large white bowl surrounded by clams, cockles and winter greens (£12.50). By the end of the meal, we’ve built up quite a pile of discarded shells between us. A glance at the pudding options makes me very tempted to try the steamed apple pudding with caramelised pears and homemade vanilla ice cream, and the Barkham blue cheese looks good too, but we decide, with some regret, that we’re full up. So has Michael enjoyed his culinary adventure today? “I have, very much. It means, when I’m next giving a talk about the Ouse and I mention the grey mullet, I’ve got something interesting to say about them. They taste delicious.” Emma Chaplin The King’s Head, 9 Southover High St, 474628, thekingsheadlewes.co.uk 53
