It's not all fancy food
Nottingham's most respected chefs are a busy bunch crafting mouth-watering dishes for food lovers to savour at the city's top restaurants and private dinner parties. But when they're not in the kitchen cooking up culinary joy where do they like to go out to eat with friends and family?
A hidden award-winning gem, Kushi-ya is tucked away at the end of an alleyway called Cannon Court, off Long Row. Diners in the tiny seating area are treated to a stream of small plates, skewers, desserts and cocktails with an Asian twist.
On any other day of the week it's got to be a courtyard lunch of gammon and egg while his wife Helen has chorizo mussels. However, fish and chips is one dish he avoids when eating out. Why eat anywhere else when the Cod's Scallops has been crowned the best in the UK? "I’ve also been on networking events here and the staff are knowledgeable, friendly, approachable and damn good at what they are doing. The open-plan kitchen is a dream as a chef of course!
Louisa said: "You especially need to try their chicken thigh skewers which are amazing! It's great food and very reasonably priced. The family who run the restaurant are super friendly and always go above and beyond with their hospitality." “It’s brilliant, old-fashioned and has a wet fish counter, and the chips are cooked in dripping," said the chef, whose unique, intricate dishes at Restaurant Sat Bains have earnt a string of accolades. Another favourite hangout is Bar Iberico in Hockley. “It’s such tasty food and we always take friends there.
His go-to dish on the menu is Agra Ginger Chicken cooked with ginger, garam masala, tomato and spinach. Mowgli's sticky wings are another must-have.
