TODAYāS THE DAY, OUR NEW AUTUMN/WINTER MENU HAS LANDED
The nights are drawing in, the weather is turning, and up on Blackstone Edge that means one thingā¦
Proper pub food season by a log fire is officially here!
Today we launch our brand new Autumn/Winter menu at The Moorcock, bringing together everything we love about this time of yearā¦.rich flavours, comforting classics, seasonal ingredients and the sort of food you actually want when itās cold outside.
Weāve kept the dishes people know and love, but weāve also brought in plenty of new seasonal plates, new starters, new mains and a few returning favourites that have been very heavily requested.
And yesā¦
The Bank Top Farm Lamb Henry is back.
Petes wonderfully slow-cooked lamb served with creamy mash, roasted carrots, seasonal greens and proper minted gravy.
Then thereās our Tandoori Lamb Scotch Eggā¦.crisp on the outside, soft New Street farm Free Range Eggs in the middle, with rocket and curry mayo. Exactly the sort of starter that was made for autumn.
Weāve also added a proper Smoked Haddock, Leek & Bacon Chowder, finished with sourdough croutons and chivesā¦.rich, smoky and ridiculously comforting.
For something a little lighter, thereās our new Wild Mushroom Crostini with garlic, thyme, olive oil, crispy sage and toasted hazelnut crumb.
And on the specials menu, one of our favourites has to be the Cod Loin served with fondant potato, pea & watercress cream sauce, chorizo and crispy samphire.
Alongside all that youāll still find plenty of Moorcock favouritesā¦..Pauls Traditional Steak Rag Pudding, Cheese & Onion Pie, the B**r Battered Fish & Chips, Chicken Ham & Leek Pie, Vegan Rag Pudding, burgers, steaks and plenty more.
Weāve also introduced new seasonal dishes including Gochujang & Sesame Pork Belly, Roasted Pumpkin Wedges, Venison Haunch Steak, Pork Trio, autumn salads and a proper Spiced Apple & Syrup Sponge with Calvados custard to finish.
This isnāt just a menu change.
Itās the start of a completely different season at The Moorcock.
Big flavours. Proper ingredients. Comfort food. Pub classics. A few twists. And plenty of gravy.
This is day one of the Autumn & Winter at The Moorcock. š¤
