only2garners Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 We went to Moor Hall about two years ago when he had one star. It was a midweek and a bit quiet so lacking a bit in atmosphere and service a bit stiff but the food was excellent, as good as I've eaten. The Barn is less formal although a step up from a good gastropub. We've also been to both L'Enclume and the Bistro in Cartmel. L'Enclume irritated us - it felt like they were trying too hard to be edgy, especially with the wine flight. we much preferred the Bistro. But still, despite Moor Hall probably having the edge on food quality, we prefer Northcote for the overall experience. Especially the wine events, although if and when they will start again, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do really like lenclume but I do think the wines can be a bit out there . My gauge is use is the best I’ve had is direr the first inception of momofuku ko or arzak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inglorious basturk Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I suspect you are more up on wine than me , I like the stuff and I can taste a good one but that’s about it . Northcote is a good example some good wines around 30 , I’ve paid double and not thought it was twice as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the restaurant is open again on Wednesday 29th of July with a 5 course gourmet menu (wine flight available). Presumably different lunch menu.

I am interested and so have plenty of knowledge of different wines, but I'm still far from an expert. Still, the practising is always enjoyable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, a restaurant doesn't have plastic seating. That's a fast-food joint. Good, I thought. I like fast food and there's only so many bacon double cheeses a man can have. So I clicked on the website menu... Um. Restaurant prices. Either be one or the other. If I want cheap food, I won't pay much. If I fork out, I want quality. Mangiamo's for me it is then...

One of the best meals I ever had was in a place that looked like this, Italian seafood place, just superb. I do understand what you mean, but I don’t mind paying a bit more for fresh fish, not many good seafood restaurants around. I wish them well.

Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted September 28, 2020 Moderation Lead Share Posted September 28, 2020 Neglected to mention, I went to Brizola (a Greek restaurant) in Clitheroe, a few weeks back. Was very good indeed. Fair pricing and good portions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumboots Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Have you tried Tom's Table in Clitheroe? I've heard good reports but it opened while I was in France and I can't go out till after the weekend. Young guy opened it. lived 8 years in France he told us.

Mattyblue Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Lytham House has just opened, we went last week. You can either do it tapas style with ‘small plates’, or standard a la carte. Thought it was superb; food, drink and atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 https://www.jororestaurant.co.uk/ I was fortunate enough to dine at Joro last night in Sheffield, superb food, no wonder the waiting list is over 2 months right now. Fine dining but in a relaxed atmosphere, staff very knowledgably and the food was stunning. In the same building, this place, the cider hole and what a character that runs the place, chap from Brooklyn. http://istheciderholeopen.com https://www.thestar.co.uk/lifestyle/food-and-drink/sheffields-first-ever-cider-centric-bar-the-cider-hole-to-open-in-shalesmoor-next-week-3374538 If you in the area its worth a visit for the cider bar alone, the building also has several other bars to choose from and if you plan ahead visit Joro, you won't be disappointed.

Gav Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 If anyone finds themselves in the vicinity of Leeds railway station, I would highly recommend this place: https://www.theowlleeds.co.uk/ Superb dining experience, booking is essential and whilst it’s not cheap, you’ll not forget The Owl in Leeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
only2garners Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I'd forgotten about this thread. It was great to see 3 Lancashire pubs in the Top 50 gastropubs list this year. Parkers Arms at number 1, Freemasons at 3 and the White Swan at 7. The Parkers Arms is a great quirky experience but for me the White Swan is the pick of them. Never had anything other than a superb meal there at not stupid prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted March 18, 2023 Moderation Lead Share Posted March 18, 2023 You wanna try getting in at the Parkers Arms, John. Thought I’d have a birthday meal there (May), in January, it was fully booked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
