Specials at The Ash (29May+)

29/5/2023

The Virginia Ash Pub in Henstridge presents our Chef's Specials for the week. First (and featured above) we are off to Ukraine for Beef Stroganoff served with Wild Rice. Stroganoff (or Stroganov) was actually invented by French chef André Dupont in the 19th century, combining sautéed beef in a mustard and Smetana sauce. Smetana is a thick, soured heavy cream, popular in Eastern Europe- here we use soured cream and add fresh mushrooms to the dish.

Next we are in the United States of America for our Ribs and Wings combo. This American classic is served with crispy golden fries, sweetcorn on the cob, deep fried onion rings and crispy fresh coleslaw.

Finally we are in the Mediterranean for the Iberian classic of Prawns and Chorizo spaghetti in a tasty tomato sauce, served with our delicious garlic bread. While spaghetti is generally considered to have been invented in Southern Italy variations of pasta dishes have been popularised in most countries around the Med, and this one is very popular in Spain.
At The Virginia Ash Pub in Henstridge we're always creating in the kitchen, so remember to check out our weekly specials on this website news blog and our facebook page.

Wine of The Week

10/5/2023

At The Virginia Ash Pub in Henstridge we pride ourselves on selecting wines that enhance your dining experience. This week's 'Wine of The Week' is no exception. Vinamar Pinot Noir 2018 comes from the Aconcagua Wine Region of Chile, known for its fertile soil and exceptional wine.
The area is one of Chile’s four major wine regions and stands out as a leading South American red wine region. Within the region is the coastal area of Casablanca, where the Vinamar winery is situated. It is renowned for its quality, but also the distinct characteristics of its wines.

"This is a Light Chilean Pinot Noir, with the fragrance of red cherries and raspberries and a warming, toasty scent of oak on the finish."

We think this wine goes well with some of the richer dishes on our new menu!

BEEF CHILLI AND CHEESE LOADED POTATO SKINS WITH SALAD
NACHOS TOPPED WITH CHEESE AND SALSA WITH GUACAMOLE AND SOUR CREAM
3 BEAN CHILLI CON CARNE WITH WILD RICE, CHEESE AND SOUR CREAM SERVED IN A TORTILLA BOWL
