Good Food Guide Restaurant of the Year award
May 21st 2009
The Good Food Guide has just announced its shortlist for restaurant of the year - a list of independent regional restaurants voted for by its readers. The North West entry is Nutters in Rochdale. I have to confess that I have never heard of either it or its chef, who by all accounts has quite a media profile.
In a bid to see what I’m missing out on in my region (albeit a bit too far north for me to head out for dinner) I had a look at the menus on their website. I was very interested to see that they have a specific vegetarian menu, and joy upon joy, no mention of risotto or goats cheese tart. Full marks for creativity. However, I can only assume that it’s quite a fancy schmancy place - I can think of no other reason to charge £15.50 for a caramlised onion tart with carrots and potatoes. I could make a comment about the mark up on a few veg, but I won’t….
And how can they justify charging an extra pound for the same desserts at dinner as they serve at lunchtime? How does that work? Do they give you a pound’s worth more in the evening?
Anyway, I’m aware that having never been there I shouldn’t pass judgement. The food should speak for itself and who knows, one day I may venture north to try it.
