The Buck’s Head

Suzie visits the Buck’s Head in Dundrum, County Down. It's co-owned by Michelin star chef, Great British Menu finalist and local lad Alex Green.

For the starter, Alex is creating a fine-dining version of a mushroom tart with brown butter emulsion and bacon jam. Back in her kitchen, Suzie makes her version, a tasty brown butter mushroom tart.

For the main course, Alex rustles up his own home-reared dish – barbeque shorthorn beef, salt baked carrots, smoked potato mash, pickled onion and beef fat sauce. Inspired by Alex, Suzie cooks a pan-seared fillet steak, baked onion and smoky lardon mash.

For dessert, Alex makes lemon meringue pie - his way: lemon sponge, lemon curd, meringue and caramelised apple ice cream. Transported back to her childhood and in homage to her mother's favourite, Suzie’s also making lemon meringue pie – her way.
