Northern Soul

These guys are the first name in cheese on toast. Not any old cheese on toast, mind. Northern Soul cheese on toast. – or grilled cheese sandwich, natch – reaches the same dizzying melted heights as the French croque monsieur or the Alpine fondue (technically not cheese on toast, but toast in cheese).

And it’s all about a secret recipe (isn’t it always?), a three-cheese blend that is slathered onto sourdough and served with a sliced pickled gherkin and house slaw to create “The Soul”. This then gets all kinds of extras thrown at it to become “The Classic”(with caramelised onion chutney), or “The New Yorker” (pastrami, pickle and pretzels), or “The Chorizo” (guess) and so on.

On the menu there’s also mac’n’cheese three ways, loaded fries, chicken tenders, chilli poppers, and all manner of specials such as the Sunday Roast on Toast.
