The wife and I had a rare 'night off', daughter's first sleep over, and decided to treat ourselves to a meal out. We have enjoyed the other Franco eateries so headed off to the trendy Almondbury 'NoSH'. We parked up right outside the front door and dashed through the rain to the converted terraced weavers cottage. We were welcomed by the fresh faced staff and after placing drinks orders were ushered through to a cosy alcove where we could peruse the menu. We are both non-meat eaters (just fish), and usually have a fairly limited choice, but not tonight! Lots of really interesting goodies. My wife went for the Tandoori prawns and I plumped for the brie and ginger spring rolls, an alternative to the usual deep fried wedges. Both were great, just the right sized portion, not too much to put you off the main. My wife had the tuna and I had the Sea Bass. Again both good with lovely fresh vegetables. All was washed down with an ice cold chardonnay from Oz at a reasonable £16. We don't usually indulge in a pud but this time we didn't feel overstuffed so opted for the chef's platter, you must share one of these! Great value at £8, and plenty for two. It was basically a bit of everything, in fact quite a lot of everything. We finished with an espresso and a single malt. Altogether a great meal, I gladly paid the £65 bill.
I think we will be going back to try the limited £9 menu.
Thanks for a great meal. G. Fenton
