Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, the American Holiday we love most, is November 23rd. 

 

Let Shop The River Cafe cook the meal for you.

 

To begin, choose between:

 

Poached Scottish Langoustines

Pumpkin, Chestnut and Faro Soup

Insalata di Puntarelle

Gnocchi alla Romana, parmesan and sage

 

The Turkey is traditional but with an Italian influence. Our free-range bird is brined for 24 hours, ready to be roasted with myrtle, bay and sage from our garden.

 

The Stuffing is a recipe from a Tuscan friend: Italian Bread Stuffing with chestnuts, fennel and pancetta. 

 

Vegetables you can order: 

First-of-the-season Cavolo Nero, braised in Selvapiana Olive Oil

Wood-roasted Violino Pumpkin with rosemary

Roseval Potatoes 'al forno'

Roast Sweet Potatoes with marjoram and chilli

Braised Cime di Rapa

 

Finally, from the River Cafe Pastry Kitchen, traditional Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie with maple syrup. 

 

All of the dishes can be ordered individually.

 

Celebrate this Thanksgiving feeling rested, relaxed and, most of all...

 

Thankful.
