St Clement's Restaurant in St Leonards – highly recommended

 St Clement's Restaurant

2013 Soave Classico, Pieropan

Last night our peerless group (The Jet Set) from Manchester University enjoyed a stand out meal at the St Clement's Restaurant in St Leonards on Sea, Hastings. There were 12 of us and we were very well looked after. 

The restaurant is right next to the Horse & Groom, the oldest pub in St Leonards. Unusually there is a connecting passageway between the pub and the restaurant.  

As soon as I opened the wine list – a relatively short list of well chosen wines – my eye alighted on the Pieropan Soave, which suggested that we were in good hands and in for an enjoyable evening.  

 

 2013 La Brouette Rosé, IGP Comté Tolosan, Producteurs Plaimont

The Pieropan Soave proved to be a very popular choice with most of the group who opted for this as their apéro and with their first course. We do have one Rosé aficionado in our group and they were very happy with La Brouette from the excellent Producteurs Plaimont. 2010 I Muri Puglia Negroamaro was our red choice – soft, rich and spicy – winning admirers amongst our peerless group.
