Fish & Chips | Every town on the coast has multitudes of fish and chip shops. The fish is always in batter and served with a mound of big fat chips. The fish are all deep fried unless you asked for it to be grilled. Depending on the season and shop different fish are available. Lashings of salt and vinegar are the usual accompaniment, although all other sauces are provided. Eat in or takeaway available at most restaurants. | Fish & Chips | |
Potato Scallop | \"oh and I'll have a potato scallop too\" is not the most unusual thing heard at a fish and chip shop and one might think that chips would be enough potato to fill anyone's day. Thick slices of potato are battered and deep fried. Salt and vinegar or lemon juice is all that is needed to enhance the flavour or maybe a good dunk in tomato sauce is suitable too! | Fish & Chips | |
Calamari rings | Loved by kids and adults around the country as an additional part of their fish and chip order, calamri rings are on most fish and chip shop menus. They are always battered and deep fried and served with a fresh squeeze of lemon. | Fish & Chips | |
Seafood Basket | Can't decide what you want to order? The seafood basket is a great meal with a little bit of everything. Most shops sell them with calamari rings, fish cocktails, prawn cutlets and some chips. | Fish & Chips | |
Fishcakes | Homemade fishcakes are part of the menu in most fish and chip shops, with either cod or salmon in breadcrumbs. Mixed with potatoes and herbs such as chives or parsley, they are pretty tasty. | Fish & Chips | |
Spaghetti and Meatballs | Traditional Italian dish, with meatballs made of minced pork and beef, herbs and minced onion and garlic, and served in a rich thick tomato based ragu sauce. Can be served sometimes with shredded fresh basil or oregano and shavings of parmesan. As with carbonara, it tends to be served with garlic bread and side salad. | Italian | |
Lamb cutlets with garlic and rosemary | Usually on every Italian menu, small trimmed lamb chops or cutlets are served steeped in fresh rosemary and garlic and pan fried or grilled. Served with sauté potatoes and vegetables, it is a hearty plate of food and delicious flavours. Tender pink lamb is enhanced by the earthy rosemary and garlic. | Italian | |
Minestrone Soup | The classic and renowned Italian soup, comprising small pasta shapes, a rich chicken stock and finely diced vegetables such as celery, onions, tomatoes, carrots beans and herbs. Created in Ancient Roman times this soup is now served in many different ways, some finely and others much more chunky and hearty. A sprinkling of parmesan and a good basket of bread makes this really filling. | Italian | |
Napoletana pasta sauce | An amazing vegetarian italian option. Crushed tomato, onion, garlic, basil and parmesan. Sounds simple but bursting with lots of flavour. | Italian | |
Osso Buco | A dish invented in Ancient Roman Times and perfected over the years to a more sophisticated Italian meal, consisting of cross-cut veal shanks, braised in red wine, onions, celery and carrots and served with a gremolata on the top (optional). | Italian | |
Bruschetta | Delicious slices of bread, rubbed with garlic and tomato and seasoned before grilling. Various toppings are served, the most popular being diced tomatoes and red onion with finely chopped garlic and basil. Can also be served with a pesto topping, and sometimes with roasted aubergine and mushrooms. Usually a starter, but can be purchased as a main course. | Italian | |
Fizzy Drink | Most of the drinks served in fish and chip shops are the usual carbonated ones like coke, lemonade etc. | Fish & Chips | |
Chianti | In rustic Italian restaurants, you can still see empty bottles of Chianti grouped together and hanging around the bar or ceiling! Old Chianti bottles used to be covered in a basket weave, and often used to house a candle on your table, so that the wax dripped down the outside of the bottle! The wine itself is red and relatively light in comparison to heavier Italian wines such as Barolo. Chianti is produced primarily in the beautiful region of Tuscany, and is eminently drinkable! | Italian | |
Soave | Another popular wine, this white wine is produced in the Veneto region of Italy, around the city of Verona, home to many Shakespeare plays! It is comparatively dry and was once the ‘in’ drink in the 1970’s but was overtaken by Pinot Grigiot towards the 1980’s | Italian | |
Peroni | The most popular of beers served in Italian restaurants, it is not the cheapest one around but still sells more than any other. 5% alcohol, a slightly ‘hoppy’ taste but very refreshing when served in iced cold frosted glasses. | Italian |
