It\s all about the meat whenever I visit The Red Herring - which happens to be at least once a month, since their grilled pork chops (my absolute favourite dish on the menu) are like comfort food to me. The formidable female chef, Xerli, is an absolute whiz in the kitchen when it comes to cooking for unrepentant carnivores: she offers up a wonderful beef tongue starter with lashings of mustard, duck confit, a very tasty and straightforward steak frites, and home-stuffed sausages on weekends. If you give her three days\ notice, she can even produce her very own version of roast suckling pig, which manages to be crispy and tender at the same time - no mean feat at all. Of course, there are non-meat dishes to look out for too, such as the pink, flaky, lemon-infused salmon rillettes, melted-in-the-middle Camembert starter, and if you\re there on the right night, Xerli occasionally makes her own ice cream with ridiculously sinful double cream (I had the salted caramel flavour once - entirely worth the calories). But seriously: you have to try the pork chops at least once. Take my word for it.
