...rustic feel, Pern serves food that's in season: fish in the summer and game birds and venison in the winter. And like publicans of old, he sources his produce locally. The village and its environs provide an ample supply of partridge, pheasant and grouse, as well as quail, duck and guinea-fowl eggs - and no fewer than three types of honey. The Star grows its own herbs and some of its own vegetables on a four-acre patch. Fish is brought daily from nearby Hartlepool on the North Sea. And not to forget the drink, Pern tempts customers with...

And he could pay cheeky tribute to friend Kaufman's failed play "The Deep Tangled Wildwood" in a complex rhyme for the song "Lazy": "I want to peep/ Through the deep/ Tangled wildwood,/ Counting sheep/ 'Til I sleep...
...with hot lemon fizz--you know you're in for something different. Ferran Adria has won the adulation of food critics and cooks by whipping up startling combinations of texture, temperature and taste: bite-size cuttlefish ravioli that explode in a burst of coconut and ginger, soft-boiled quail egg with a crispy caramel crust, a polenta of frozen powdered Parmesan cheese, almond ice cream on a swirl of garlic oil and balsamic vinegar...
