Travels with my friend – Part 3

Please don't be alarmed – there will not be 50 parts to this trip!

Our lunch is at Ascoughs – a bistro located at 24-26 St. Mary's Road, Market Harborough LE16 7DU.

The lunch menu is priced at two courses for £12 and three for £16. In this day and age I'd call that better than good value – I can hear you saying “that's fine if the food is good” and of course you'd be right.

I'm not going to give you the whole menu – just a couple of options from the starter, main and dessert :

Starters

King scallops, English Asparagus, Pesto, Pine Kernels,

Endive, Parmesan, Parma Ham Shards

Grilled Baby Goats Cheese, Peppadew Peppers, Sauce Romesco,

Toasted Almonds, Olive Tapenade

Mains

Breast of Chicken, Goats Cheese, Stem Broccoli,

Charred Gem, Olive, Sauce Paloise

Twice Baked Red Leicester & Chive Soufflé,

Pickled Vegetables, Piccalilli, Pea Shoot and Baby Leaf Salad

Desserts

Dark Chocolate Mousse, Salted Caramel Bon Bons,

Praline Macaron, Peanut Butter Fudge

Warm Scotch Pancakes, Fig Jam, Sultana Emulsion,

Rum & Raisin Ice Cream

It makes you want to loosen your belt just reading it.

Part 4 is the last of these travels, I promise!
