The Monro
Duke Street
This award-winning venue, with its genuinely fresh ingredients which are in season and sourced locally, was previously crowned the Best Gastropub of the Year. In its new winter menu you can choose a selection of game dishes including confit rabbit ravioli, carrot and tarragone; with duck breast and confit leg and potato terrine, chestnut and sprout leaves also proving to be a highlight.
Buyers Club
Hardman Street
Buyers Club has launched its winter menu for the start of 2017 and game is a recurrent theme. This also coincides with the release of a new brunch menu at the eatery, bar and music venue. Highlights of the winter offering include roast pigeon served with date puree, pear and roasted hazelnut and the venison loin served with mushroom duxelle and truffle sauce.
