Fletchers Restaurant

Just visited Fletchers for one of their themed evenings. This time was an especially unusual one - a Finnish evening inspired by the Level 3 students recent visit to the country. Six wonderful courses for less than £30. I couldn’t believe how good it was. First course was a shared bread and dip course - sour dough bread and salted flat bread accompanied by crawfish mayo, flavoured butters and a selection of pickles (delicious). Next came white fish gravlax accompanied by a fennel and liquorice mayo - seems this very unique flavour is very Finnish. I wanted more! This was followed by a succulent salmon dish in a dill fish broth - so good! And then came the piece de resistance - a perfectly grilled venison loin with braised venison also, potato puree, pickles and gravy. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven (no - just Finland). Two dessert courses followed. I don’t have a sweet tooth but my two friends were nearly ‘daggers at dawn’ fighting for my extra portion. The first sweet course looked so terrific that even though I didn’t eat it, I just had to take a photo. I nearly weakened at the last course a chocolate mousse egg but had it snatched from me before I could give in. What a terrific evening! Why oh why don’t more people know of this outstanding restaurant?

Great restaurant. The food is very good and the service friendly and efficient. It’s lovely to see young people in training- generally enthusiastic and hopeful for their future. Their lecturers are also friendly and welcoming.

Do you drama for all age's like 36

Went for a birthday meal for the first time since it moved from Adams building in the Lace Market. Quite slow to be seated. Was themed Japanese meal. Food was good but not very imaginative. If you don't like fish or veggie, you ended up with chicken for starter and main (they were differently done). Serving students very pleasant.
