Going to go a little off topic here.
At breakfast time, you're sitting at the main tables with the dish of jams and butter in front of you. Is this communal?
Last time I was in the CCR, there only seemed to be one for at least two random people so sticking you knife in the butter and jam first would probably put the next person off.

If true, this was news to me.
Yesterday, as my soup was served, bread was offered.
However, the bread I normally have was missing.
Asking about it, the girl serving me told me that they'd run out, but they where baking some more.
Do they actually bake the bread in the CCR kitchen, or is it 'bake-off'?

There's a long white dish with a round butter dish with exposed butter in it and the little jars of jam. This sits between 2 facing people.

I can confirm that it is. As C-W-S says upthread, you could really do with a fork and a spoon, arguably a knife. It's a solid but gooey brownie and eating it off my lap on the terrace was a little challenging with just a spoon - but I thought an extremely delicious dessert. However if you don't have a sweet tooth, you may want to give it a miss. Didn't realize you could order ice cream with it but actually the cream it can with was lovely.
I had the asparagus to start - 5 or 6 cold whole asparagus with a light creme fraiche dressing. It came with a shot of, I believe warm asparagus soup. The asparagus were extremely crispy which is how I like them but the amaranth and dried cress just didn't work for me. It almost madethe senses think that the asparagus is gritty which obviously they weren't. I think they wanted to add some sorted extra texture, and whilst a fine powder may have worked, this is more like a fine grain texture.
Main course was the salmon. On the menu it says jersey royals but it's more like a warm potato salad, rather than whole boiled potatoes. The salmon was slightly over cooked but still a nice size portion. My only complaint would be I wish they'd season the salmon a bit more. I appreciate there is pancetta for some added salt but not enough to lift the flavour of the dish. The cream peas were a delightful accompaniment.
And not there is any doubt anymore but the restaurant menu was out on the terrace area and I dined there at one of the lounge tables.

Anyone had a chat to Borisz on the bar about cocktails? He's pretty knowledgeable and if you get him chatting he proactively offers suggestions to accommodate your tastes. I've been very impressed with him the past few times I've been in and he's been on the bar.
Also, I haven't been offered bread in the dining area the past 3 or 4 times I've been in. Has something changed, or has it been enhanced away?

Here's the risotto, it was quite a small portion and not very well flavoured.
Note, I did request it without the cheese.

The cheese crisps kind of made all the difference. I had it yesterday in T5 CCR and really enjoyed it. Today I tried it again in T3 and they were out of cheese crisps, and found it to be bland. The mozzarella starter was fairly nice as well.
