Bread Street Kitchen & Bar

Bread Street Kitchen & Bar serves classic Gordon Ramsay dishes, from beef wellington and traditional fish and chips to rare-breed steaks and seasonal salads.

It’s one of the TV chef’s many outlets, giving you the chance to see what all the fuss is about, but without paying through the nose.

The menu is described as European, although there are other international influences here, with the likes of butter chicken and cashew nut curry with  giving a nod to the Indian subcontinent. Continental favourites include spinach and ricotta cannelloni and Mediterranean-inspired steamed sea bream with braised leeks, cherry tomatoes, samphire and brown shrimps.

Local produce features, with Cumbrian beef in the potted brisket starter and Cumbrian saddleback pork belly slow roasted and served with Braeburn apple puree.

Round the clock dining is promised, with breakfast served from 8am from Friday to Sunday; think eggs benny and the like.

The Sunday roast is all about beef: rare breed British beef Himalayan salt dry aged for a minimum of 35 days – sirloin, prime rib, Porterhouse, rib-eye… If you don’t do beef, there’s spatchcocked poussin with chimichurri sauce.

Desserts include the ubiquitous sticky toffee pudding and – a nod to Chef Ramsay’s heritage – a cranachan cheesecake with raspberry sorbet and Monkey Shoulder 100% malt Scotch whisky. The chocolate fondant with salted caramel ice cream is “heaven on a plate” according to Insta.
