SquareMeal Review of Longueville Manor

 

The Grand Dame of Jersey’s hotel scene, this palatial country pile boasts 30 rooms and an alfresco pool terrace where you can take afternoon tea – as well as a 15th-century wood-panelled dining room. Largely thanks to the staff’s skill, the place emits both gravitas and joviality; families and couples are equally at home. We started Sunday lunch with a light, seasonal plate of seafood linguini: plump scallops and prawns in a light bisque with the odd soya bean adding crunch. Next came a local seafood platter like no other. Warm mussels and scallops plus half a lobster shared the plate with huge tiger prawns and locally soured oysters – all matched with a watermelon, squash and cashew-nut salad and buttered Jersey Royals (naturally). Dessert of gateau opera with coffee and vanilla ice cream showed chef Andrew Baird’s talent for precision and beauty, the sheen on his many-layered cake glassy enough to see your reflection. If weather permits, head outside for coffee or a glass of Jersey’s sublime La Mare white wine.

We stayed at the hotel and took one of there 2 night stay packages, room, car hire and dinner both nights. One night was the ‘taste of jersey’ and the second the ‘prestige menu’. Surprisingly it was the smaller ‘taste’ menu that wiped us out more, as the portions were a bit chunkier than the ‘prestige’ menu. The wife gets me every time as she gives up come the main course and I end up eating hers too! Both menus are classically French, erring towards the plentiful seafood landed on the island; turbot, langoustines and scallops featuring highly on both menus, along with fois and truffles. Although enjoying both meals, it is maybe a little telling and disappointing that a few days later I am forgetting the courses specifically, so hard to describe here. Service top notch, prompt attention, not too intrusive but never had to pour my own wine or water, was asked if we need a break before main courses and puddings. Nice not to be hurried, and they were full. If in Jersey, I’d say a must to at least eat in the restaurant, but would recommend the hotel too.
