Rushton's, Newark's well known delicatessen now has an exciting little bistro attached to it. Situated 'next door' to the existing family-run enterprise, the new bistro serves food directly from Rushton's counters and kitchens.

You could enjoy mouth watering Italian, Spanish, French and English deli platters; whole baked camembert with fresh thyme and honey, or a platter of cheese before taking a look at the blackboards for the day's menu.

Starters encompass fishcakes with smoked chilli jelly while classic dishes include such choices as sausage and mash; Moroccan lamb tagine; and confit duck leg, Toulouse sausage, and pork belly served in a haricot bean stew.

The roast rump of lamb served with flageolet beans and spring onion mash, or chicken Dijonnaise with sautéed potatoes could hardly fail to please the dedicated carnivore. Fish is represented by a grilled fillet of sea bass with provençale vegetables, classic moules mariniere, and Rushton's fish pie.

Desserts of raspberry crème brûlée and sticky toffee pudding rarely fail to please.
