For
those who are not familiar, Ascoughs is a bistro located at 24-26
St. Mary's Road, Market Harborough, Leicestershire LE16 7DU.
The
last time I visited this restaurant for lunch was in May 2017 – a
birthday present for a girlfriend and here we are again, a little
later than we'd have liked but as we all know, life gets in the way.
These
days you can view menus on line and I could have looked but resisted
the urge. When I called to book our table I mentioned my favourite
soufflé - a Twice Baked Red Leicester and Chive version - in the
hope that I might be able to order two. Hold that thought – how
delighted was I to be told that there was a Twice Baked Goats Cheese
soufflé on the current menu.
I
confess that after booking I couldn't wait any longer and peeked at
the menu – it served its purpose – spoilt for choice and for me
that's rare.
I've
said before but am happy to repeat, Ascoughs' menus tempt you to try
dishes with ingredients you wouldn't ordinarily choose.
The
genius remains the same – the menu at the moment runs until 1st
September – 2 courses for £13 – 3 courses £17. Note to selves
– you have to book, whether lunch or dinner.
Thought
for the day … if you can remember how good a meal, or a specific
dish was and that memory stays with you … pure joy.
