An Easter Themed Menu on The Cutty Sark

create food & party design recently hosted 150 guests on board the Cutty Sark in Greenwich for a four course dinner with a particularly Easter theme.

The menu consisted of a starter of saffron, beetroot and parsley-infused quail's eggs with accompanying dipping sauces, served in an egg box. The dish also included quail served three ways, with a saffron-stuffed quail's leg, quail ballotine and a quail and parsley kiev, served alongside soft boiled scotch quail's egg.


The main course featured milk-fed leg of lamb followed with wild garlic gnocchi, broad beans and beetroot purée. Dessert was inspired by the Cutty Sark's tea clipper history, and consisted of a vanilla custard and rhubarb panna cotta, as well as hibiscus tea served in glass teapots.
