introducing our new pouring champagne
We’re always looking for new and exciting ways to improve the customer experience at Pb and recently, we’ve been looking to update our pouring champagne. After extensive market research, we feel we’ve unearthed a real gem and with great pleasure we can now announce the arrival of Perrier Jouët champagne to Pebble Beach. Perrier Jouët is a small boutique Champagne producer supplying only to premium outlets and generally not widely available in England.
When Pierre-Nicolas-Marie Perrier, a cork merchant from Epernay, married Adele Jouët in 1811 they created the House of Perrier-Jouët. Since then, Perrier-Jouët Champagne has enjoyed a passionate following from the Royal Courts of Queen Victoria to Napoleon III, Coco Chanel, Oscar Wilde, Lilly Langtry and modern day celebrities like Kate Moss. Since it’s inception, the Belle Epoque motif, created in 1902 by Emile Gallé, one of the most famous proponents of the art nouveau movement, has become the definitive symbol for all that Perrier Jouët represents: a refined, elegant Champagne.
Choose from either the light, elegant and elaborately fruity Perrier Jouët Grand Brut or the Perrier Jouët Blason Rosè, made with wild strawberries and rose petals. Both champagnes have been chosen for their quality, flavour and style which we feel perfectly reflects everything that Pebble Beach represents. A perfect addition!
Letter from Gary Rhodes after a recent visit to Pebble Beach
Dear Pierre,
I just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you so much for a lovely evening at Pebble Beach last night. We all had a fantastic time and I, personally, thoroughly enjoyed being on the 'other side' of the kitchen for a change! It was a shame I didn't get to meet you in person and I'd like to say a huge thank you for the champagne as well as a wonderful meal.
I'd be grateful if you can pass on my thanks to the entire team and look forward to hopefully meeting you at a future opportunity.
Many thanks
With best wishes
Gary Rhodes
Awarded Restaurant of the Year 2008
Pebble Beach has been awarded Restaurant of the year by Hampshire Life for 2008.
Pebble Beach has beaten hundreds of competitors to be named Restaurant of the Year at the 5th Hampshire Life Food & Drink Awards, widely considered the Food and Drink Oscars for the region.
The judges were impressed by the quality and presentation of food at Pebble Beach, as well as the consistent use of local and organic produce. The great staff and fantastic location were also contributing factors to it being described as a ‘Hampshire gem’.
Mike Caddy, owner of the Barton-on-Sea based establishment, who collected the award said “It is fantastic to have our hard work recognised and to be named Restaurant of the Year 2008. Chef Pierre is always looking for exciting new ways to use the amazing local produce that is available in Hampshire and the judges appreciated his dedication.”
Event Organiser, Gemma Butland from Commstar Ltd, said “This year’s awards have been more exciting than ever. It always astounds me, even five years on, how so many new producers pop onto the food scene. The Hampshire food scene is something to be really proud of, and this year’s event showcased some of the very best this region has to offer.”
Pebble Beach has already received a number of significant accolades including winning South East Restaurant of the Year 2007. The Observer Food Monthly also voted it one of the Top 5 Seaside Restaurants in the country.
Some of the judges comments:
Extremely welcoming and knowledgeable staff added to the overall experience and idyllic location of this Hampshire gem.
Owner Mike Caddy has the balance just right, with a buzzing bar area and relaxed feel to the restaurant with a lovely versatile menu.
Another real toughie, this is always a hotly contested award - All three meals oozed with fantastic flavours. The judges said it came down to the quality and presentation of the food, as well as the consistent use of local and organic produce. Combined with great staff, a fantastic location the judges said they would definitely return to Pebble Beach.
