FROM THE NORTH HIGHLANDS

Having decided to install a Josper Grill our aim was to nd the best meat supplier we could. Not only was the quality important but we also wanted the farming methods used to be ethical and for the cattle to be organically reared. Pictured. Boyces Street in the 20th Century. Originally famous for its many sh establishments The North Highlands is a part of Scotland that has a long history of quality livestock production. The Castle of Mey brand was created by the North Highland farmers, which is inspired and supported by His Royal Highness, Prince Charles. All cattle are pure breed Aberdeen Angus and are fully traceable to individual family farms. They are solely grass fed for their whole duration until reaching full maturity. The beef is given extra avour through the skillful processing techniques of dry ageing, slow chilling and fully maturing on the bone. All our steaks on the menu have been dry-aged for at last 35 days. Dry-ageing beef is what gives it a wonderful chewy, buttery, nutty taste. This is because the beefs natural enzyme shelp break down largely avourless proteins, fats and sugars into smaller products which are full of avour. Also during this process the meat becomes more tender and succulent.

NATURAL GOODNESS

THE JOSPER HAS LANDED!

Cooking on re is as old as the hills. Looking at different cultures around the world today we can see that it is still very well-practised. Be it burning charcoal in India to fuel the tandoor ovens or in Japan for the robata grills. Once wed located our fantastic produce we wanted to serve it in the best way we know how. So we have invested in a specialized indoor barbecue grill called a Josper (imported from Spain), which is fuelled by charcoal alone. The meat and sh are grilled directly over burning charcoal and the oven can generate heats of up to 500 Celsius. The intensity of the heat and the taste from the burning charcoal is the perfect way to cook our carefully sourced produce, to keep the meat and sh succulent and full of avour.

THE ROOM TEMPERATURE MYTH

Here at The Coal Shed we take wine very seriously; and like our food we want to serve it to you in the best way possible. In general red wines are served far too warm these days, particularly in restaurants where the room temperature can get fairly high. The room temperature rule for red wines was derived hundreds of years ago long before wall insulation and central heating were even invented! We believe red wines really bene t when served just below room temperature as it improves the silkiness of the fruit and also keeps the alcohol in check. With this in mind we have invested in a red wine fridge that will moderate the temperature of our wines to around 20C or just below depending on the weight of the wine. Unfortunately we will only be able to do this for red wines bought by the bottle so if youre thirsty, happy days!

THE ORIGIN OF STEAK

The word steak is derived from the Old Norse term steikjo; to roast on a spit which has been around for as long as the re used to cook it. All domestic cattle are descended from a single ancestor, the aurochs. These were large long horn beasts, that can be seen depicted in many cave paintings. By 55BC Romans had recorded the existence of red cattle in south-western England. Which are almost certainly the Red Devon cattle which can still be found there today. This only goes to show the longevity of eating beef.

absolutely love Prosecco here at The Coal Shed but we were determined to nd something different to offer our customers by the glass. Our wine supplier recently visited Chiarli which is based in Modena, Italy and he was blown away by what he saw and tasted! Chiarli has been making sparkling wines for over 150 years and they even make the nest Lambrusco in the whole of Italy! These wines show that its not only Balsamic Vinegar that this region is truly great for.

Sexy pink from Modena made using the Grasparossa grape. Ladies, form an orderly queue.

The Ferrari of Proseccos and quite possibly the most elegant Italian zz youll ever taste.

Being lovers of Prosecco we still wanted to represent the wine but we wanted to show what potential this grape really has. So we picked the Guistino Bisol from Ruggeri which was awarded the coveted Tre Bicchieri (three glasses) award; Italys nest accolade.

Anyone for a splash of pink?

Bordeaux in such a fruit forward style is a rarity. This Merlot blend achieves just that but still stays true to this historic region.

The holy grail of red wine! There is no better way to spend an hour of your life. Silky fruit with that classic Burgundian savouriness.

This intense Sangiovese tastes like the lovechild of Chianti Classico and Brunello, it has the fragrance of the former and the body of the latter.
