Hello

Sometimes we all go through stages in life where there is a lack of control and consciousness. Life is more of existing on a day to day basis than living. The current climate has pushed us towards a similar state of being. Reality of the market, a lot of appreciation but no tangible support from a lot of patrons has chipped the pillars of aspirations we had built in Margate. At times I feel as if I am standing on the shores of a vast ocean poised to jump as time passes beneath my feet. I have been swept away by a different kind of pressure . The team at the Indian Princess is now reduced to half of what it used to be. We are artists. We weave dreams ,concepts and ideas , create beautiful food and live flavours and tastes. Today we are busy looking at profits and losses and cash flows. A big and heartiest thank you to those who have stood by us in these two and a half years. They are truely our special people.

Roe deer from Faygate

Hi
Roe deer is in season . A friend is a professional game stalker and brings us fresh Roe deer from the village of Faygate in West Sussex. The meat is quite subtle with a lamb like texture. It does not need strong acidic marinations to melt it down.The restaurant has received a series of positive press reviews in the past few weeks.So thank you to the newspapers and publications who have written about us.I am currently working on a menu with rare and exotic meats such as zebra ,ostrich and believe it or not python! CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between Governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. All meat offered can only come as part of this policy. This means that it is either farmed - usually for the skin and the meat is a by product, or under a hunting licence in order to keep the population under control so that the ecosystem is not harmed.
