Restaurant review: Claude’s Kitchen in Parsons Green is all interesting ideas and good ingredients.

Tuesday is menu changeover day in this first-floor dining room above champagne bar Amuse Bouche, just up from the green.

A white asparagus starter comes with pale, billowing asparagus emulsion and a lightly goaty curd, sprinkled with dark specks of onion ash.

But putting white chocolate in the parsnip mash is not a good idea.

But it has got interesting ideas, good ingredients and a happy buzz, and that’s worth something any day of the week.

Claude’s Kitchen, where all this and more applies — the chap running the bar taught surfing in Cornwall and sells bobble hats through his company Grannies Knitts (sic) — is providing exceptionally fine cooking and the sort of wholesome high spirits that suggests Famous Five in the ancestry.

Claude Compton has worked in various Michelin-starred kitchens including Petersham Nurseries — with both Skye Gyngell and Greg Malouf — and Club Gascon, neither of those the sort of prissy kitchens the Red Guide can imply.

To start, the two of us ordered all three options with the understanding that the wood pigeon (seared) was really mine, the mackerel (Cornish, line-caught) on the whole belonged to Reg and we would put the leek (charred) and goat’s curd in the middle.

Putting together red grape, blood orange, beetroot and Bloody Mary sauce to accompany a fiercely grilled fillet of mackerel — its silvery skin criss-crossed with branding — points to a painterly eye as well as a sagacious palate.

I thought during the day that Claude was tending his Green Goat street food bus but that is currently in abeyance.

No sinister reason: it used to be a function room, and we were over-emotional at an emigration party.

These days this ‘room above a pub’ is more likely to have you weeping tears of joy.

The meat came over a dollop of creamed parsnip, finished with a silky hint of white chocolate.

But, it’s not just good food that makes a restaurant, especially a local restaurant: it’s great service.

And Claude’s Kitchen appears to have hired the nicest bunch of people in town.
