A Taste Of Autumn: The Market Menu Is Back!

As we bid farewell to summer and embrace those chilly autumnal nights, The Star Inn The City is delighted to welcome back the much-anticipated Market Menu!

Celebrating the finest ingredients synonymous with this time of year, all sourced from Yorkshire’s natural larder, from October to November, patrons can enjoy a wallet-friendly two courses for £23 or three courses for £28, available Monday to Friday between 12pm-3 pm.

Introducing The Autumn Market Menu

Autumn in Yorkshire is a magical time when the countryside comes alive with rich, flavourful game meats as well as hearty root vegetables. Our Market Menu pays homage to these seasonal favourites and comprises a delicious variety of starters, mains, and desserts guaranteed to satisfy any palate.

Starters

From the very first bite, our starters evoke the essence of autumn. Picture a velvety Celeriac & Granny Smith Velouté, where the earthy celeriac dances harmoniously with the tartness of Granny Smith apples, crowned with a drizzle of Tarragon Cultured Cream and adorned with Salted Cracked Hazelnuts.

For seafood enthusiasts, the North Sea Fishcake beckons, its delicate flavours elevated by a Dill Hollandaise sauce that gently envelops the flaky fish. It’s served alongside a Fennel & Coastal Pickings “Salad,” offering a taste of the sea’s freshest offerings.

And for those with a penchant for something unique, indulge in our playful twist on KFC, where Buttermilk Fried Pheasant Breast takes centre stage. Accompanied by a Spiced Red Cabbage ‘Slaw and a tantalising Henderson’s Hot Sauce, it’s a dish that provides the perfect mid-week pick-me-up.

Mains

As you move on to the main course, the rich, earthy flavours of Yorkshire come to life. The Yorkshire Reared Beef Cottage Pie is a heartwarming classic, reimagined with tender beef and Smoked Mash. The dish reaches new heights of flavour with the inclusion of Beef Fat Carrot, creating a symphony of textures and tastes.

For lovers of seafood, the Smoked Haddock & Shetland Mussel “Kedgeree” Risotto presents a unique infusion of taste, where the smokiness of the haddock marries beautifully with the Indian Spices and Flake Almonds, atop a bed of creamy risotto.

Vegetarians aren’t overlooked either and can savour a tasty Brown Butter Cauliflower, where the nutty richness of brown butter complements the charred and crispy alliums. A velvety Fountains Gold Cheddar & Lovage Velouté ties all the ingredients together in this harmonious vegetarian creation.

Desserts

Go on! Indulge your sweet tooth with our delectable Market Menu desserts…

Prepare to be transported to chocolate heaven as you savour our Double Chocolate Bread n Butter Pudding. This dessert is a harmonious blend of rich, velvety chocolate, carefully layered in a comforting bread and butter pudding. Drizzled with Salted Caramel Custard, each bite represents sweet and salty perfection.

For those seeking a lighter yet equally delightful option, our Madagascan Vanilla Panna Cotta awaits. Immerse your senses in the silky-smooth embrace of this delicate pudding, topped with an Autumn Berry Compote that bursts with fruity goodness. A side of Baked Shortbread adds a delightful crunch to complete this mouthwatering creation.

Cheese lovers, you’re in for a treat with our selection of Hawes Wensleydale. Paired with Yorkshire Brac and accompanied by a Confit Onion Jam, this platter celebrates the rich, savoury delights of artisanal cheeses, offering a perfect conclusion to your meal.

Pairing Perfection: Our Drinks’ List

Complement your meal with a beverage from our extensive drinks’ list. Choose from a stunning selection of wines from around the world, thoughtfully curated to pair perfectly with each dish.
