Nottingdale in Nicholas Road, a new address carved out of an industrial estate, welcomes guests with elegant modern décor and a modern European menu specialising in provincial Italian and French dishes. Friendly attentive staff add value to the meal. 

A monthly changing menu promises starters of Devon crab, gazpacho jelly and sourdough bruschetta or risotto of new season's cèpes, girolles and summer truffle. Then you could continue with roast Shetland salmon with Jersey royals, anchovy mayonnaise and summer crudités, or côte de boeuf, roast bone marrow, potatoes al forno with girolles, watercress and parsley salad. Lunch could include dishes such as pappardelle with Tuscan sausage ragù and roast seabass, potatoes al forno with sage capers and taggiasca olives, braised fennel and Amalfi lemon aioli. To finish, consider charentais melon granite, vanilla pannacotta with English raspberries or Valrhona chocolate brownie with Neal's Yard crème fraîche. Wines, beer and cider and cocktails enliven the occasion.
