Gourmet Five Course Taster Menu For Two for £49 at Award-Winning Baumanns Brasserie
This deal can be bought for: £49.00
Highlights
Two AA rosettes
Head chef star of ‘Baumann goes to Market’
Hosts UKTV’s ‘Good Food Live’ 11 miles from Colchester
While fish usually stick to their plaice during food fights, it’s the mussels and beef steaks who are fighting to see who is strong-anoff. Train up taste buds with today’s Groupon: £49 for a five course taster menu for two at Baumanns Brasserie.
This double AA rosette fine diner, which is run by 2003 ‘Master Chef of Britain’ Mark Baumann, has garnered more awards and accolades than an average breadstick shaker can shake a breadstick at. He is also the shining star of TV show Baumann Goes to Market and flagship foodie programme Great Food Live. Located in the charming town of Coggeshall, this quaint 16th century building has been converted into an award-winning restaurant serving up a menu of chic and unique Franco Anglo dishes. Antique chairs and stripped floors decorate the interior while colourful artwork provides an eclectic backdrop to the white washed walls.
Pairs with a taste for the finer things in life can tuck into a bespoke menu of five courses, where guests will experience a unique twist of flavours in dishes such as the crab and smoked salmon tartare accompanied with flying fish caviar. To whet intrigued palettes, foodies can sip on a champagne sorbet shooter before tucking into the herb crusted lamb chump and fondant potato with flagelot bean puree. Finishing up on the sweetest of notes, grand grub lovers can make room for the mars bar cheesecake served with a dollop of raspberry coulis. Feastivities are then rounded off with a cup of filter coffee and white chocolate fudge accompaniment.

Like the rest of the inn, the bedrooms are styled to reflect the building’s history and some contain original oak beams ,while all include the mod cons of Wi-Fi, underfloor heating and large flat screen TV’s. Dining in the restaurant, guests can choose three courses from the modern British fare on offer, and wash delicacies like scallops with chorizo and red pepper puree (£9.60), down with a bottle of prosecco. Breakfast is an equally extravagant affair, with options including the classic full English as well as eggs benedict and mixed summer fruit pancakes to send overnighters on their merrily quaint way.
