TO celebrate the launch of the special Christmas 2012 menu, Loch Fyne restaurant at 5 Verulam Road in St Albans has teamed up with the Herts Advertiser to offer you and five friends the chance to win a delicious three-course meal from the Christmas party menu, with a bottle of Prosecco this party season.

The Christmas party menu at Loch Fyne this year offers the perfect combination of good food, plentiful drink and warm hospitality.

Should you be the lucky winner of this competition, you and your five friends will each be able to choose your three course meal from the Christmas party menu, which as you would expect from a speciality fish restaurant, offers a selection of top quality fresh fish and seafood.

But don’t worry if you aren’t a fish lover, as the menu includes a selection of seasonal meat, poultry and vegetarian dishes too!

Starters include the Fisherman’s Platter, which features an array of delicious fish, the Charcuterie and Fish Platter with speciality ingredients such as smoked duck and spiced plum chutney, or a delicious butternut squash soup served with bloomer bread.

A variety of mains include pan fried fillet of bream, salmon and squid tempura, and Christmassy classics such as roast breast of guinea fowl, or a hearty steak and chips.

End your festive meal with a choice of puddings; you can choose from the indulgent warm chocolate fondant served with salted caramel and Cornish clotted cream, apple tart tatin, glazed lemon tart, or perhaps if you’re feeling traditional you could go for a coffee and mince pie.

Although Loch Fyne’s roots are in the west coast of Scotland, the restaurant has become famous all over the country for serving sustainably sourced delicious fish and seafood.

In fact, much of the shellfish and smoked fish that is served still comes straight from the loch, and it is all either wild or responsibly farmed. For more information on Loch Fyne restaurants please visit www.lochfyne-restaurants.com.
