Beyond River Cottage

(1x4)

Air date: Oct 22, 2004

Hugh sells waffle breakfast to Morris dancers at a festival. Then he sets about open River Cottage H.Q. to paying customers, and for opening night he wants to serve up a giant lobster. However, his giant trap catches only a conger eel. Hugh poaches the eel in a court-bouillon, and deems it appealing enough to serve (alongside smaller lobsters which he's purchased from a local fisherman.) He also serves roast beef sirloin and fresh asparagus, which had been harvested only an hour earlier and delivered by motorbike.
