A Glimpse into Our Market Menu
While our Market Menu evolves with the seasons and the availability of ingredients, we’re excited to share a tantalising preview of some dishes that may grace your table. Please note that the following descriptions are sample dishes, and the actual menu may vary slightly to ensure we’re always serving the freshest, most exceptional produce available.
Irresistible Starters
Our starters are designed to entice and delight. Options could include our divine Whipped Chicken Liver Parfait, a velvety smooth indulgence perfectly complemented by the sweet tanginess of caramelised onion jam. Served alongside toasted sourdough, this dish offers a harmonious balance of textures and flavours that will leave you craving more.
For those who prefer a touch of spice, the South Indian Spiced Fishcake is a revelation. Nestled on a bed of wilted greens and crowned with a soft poached hen’s egg, this starter is elevated by the addition of curried brown shrimp butter. The combination of aromatic spices, delicate fish, and rich butter creates a symphony of flavours that dance on the tongue.
Vegetarian patrons are not overlooked either and we highly recommend trying our Roasted Swede & Carrot Velouté. This silky-smooth soup is a celebration of autumnal root vegetables, enhanced by a dollop of cultured cream and a sprinkle of crispy onions. The earthy sweetness of the vegetables is beautifully balanced by the tangy cream, while the crispy onions add a delightful textural contrast.
Mains to Satisfy Every Palate
Our main courses showcase the diversity of Yorkshire’s produce and our chefs’ culinary expertise. The Brew York Beer Battered Fish Fritter is a sophisticated take on a British classic. The light, crispy batter, infused with local beer, encases perfectly cooked fish. Served with beef fat chips, crushed peas, and our house-made tartare sauce, this dish is comfort food at its finest.
For a vegetarian option that doesn’t compromise on flavour, our Roasted Courgettes with Heckfield Cheese Custard & Onion Tart is a true standout. The creamy cheese custard provides a luxurious base for the sweet roasted courgettes, while the salt ‘n’ pepper seasoning adds a flavourful kick. Accompanied by pesto-dressed bitter leaves and a tangy onion chutney, this dish is a celebration of textures and tastes.
Finally, meat lovers will relish our Outdoor Reared Pork & Wild Game Meatballs. These succulent meatballs are nestled in a rich, roasted vine tomato sauce and served atop tarragon-buttered tagliatelle. The crowning glory is a generous shaving of autumn truffle, adding an earthy depth that elevates the entire dish.
Desserts to Remember
Save room for dessert and treat yourself because we promise that our divine pudding options won’t disappoint! Stealing the spotlight is our Yorkshire Sticky Parkin, a regional favourite reimagined with a modern twist. This dense, spiced ginger cake is served with a hot spiced syrup and a scoop of caramelised pear ice cream, creating a warm-cool contrast that’s simply irresistible.
For those who prefer a savoury end to their meal, our Shepherd’s Purse Blue Cheese is served with traditional Yorkshire Brack and a house-made relish. The pungent cheese pairs beautifully with the fruit-studded bread, while the relish adds a sweet-tart note that cuts through the richness, creating a harmonious balance of flavours.
Alternatively, for chocolate lovers our 64% Valrhona Chocolate Brownie is an indulgent treat not to be missed. The deep, complex flavour of the high-quality chocolate is perfectly complemented by a scoop of strawberry cheesecake ice cream. The combination of rich chocolate and tangy strawberry creates a dessert that’s both sophisticated and nostalgic. Scrumptious!
