I was in London and staying at The Fox and Goose close to Hangar Lane. The restaurant is in the older part of the hotel, as the hotel part is now a new build at the back. The menu changes every so often, and they always seem to have a range of choices, that means it can be difficult to choose what to have.
I generally don’t choose the chicken when ordering from a menu. Usually as it something I can cook easily at home. When out and about I like to order stuff I don’t, wouldn’t, or couldn’t cook at home. However when I read corn-fed chicken supreme with truffle mash, wild mushroom sauce & crispy kale, I was like, well that’s what I am having. The idea of wild mushrooms sounds nice, and the truffle mash sounded delicious. So, it was pretty much a no-brainer to order the dish.
It looked great when it arrived.
The chicken was perfectly cooked, it was nicely seasoned, tender and moist and had a crispy skin. The wild mushroom sauce was excellent, creamy, nice mushrooms, and a tasty sauce. The truffle mash needed a lot more truffle but was smooth and creamy. The kale added much needed colour and texture to the dish.
I really enjoyed the dish, it was well balanced, cooked well, and delicious. This is something I would order again if I had the chance.
