| The Claret Jug Restaurant in Leeds |
A stunning location, majestic interior and
some of the best food in Leeds, make The Claret Jug the ideal place for a
romantic get away, family occasion or even a corporate event. Located within
the grounds of Oulton Hall, a grand 18th Century mansion, the interior of this stylish restaurant is reminiscent of a Scottish Highland
retreat. Despite the stately overtones, the atmosphere of The Claret Jug Restaurant in Leeds is relaxed, chilled out and
friendly. Specializing in good, honest European food, with a slight twist,
there is a wide range of exciting dishes to tempt and tease you.
The food here is unfussy and unpretentious,
instead the locally sourced ingredients are allowed to shine. Simple starters
such as French onion soup with a Gruyere crouton or the mussel, bacon and leek
chowder are full of deep flavours while also offering a comfort element. Those
who want to take a more ‘social’ approach to their meal can enjoy the sharing
plate of baked, rustic Camembert, home dried tomato, Serrano ham, olives and
garlic bread. Like many European restaurants in Leeds there are several hearty meat dishes available for the
main meal. Choose from braised beef bourgognone with Wharfe Valley oil mash or
the lemon and thyme spatchcock poussin served with game chips, bread sauce and
Vichy carrots.
One dish that comes highly recommend is the
Yorkshire beef stew for two, served with roast vegetables, Mrs. bells blue
cheese dumplings and olive oil mash. Of course the head chef and the kitchen team
are dedicated to using only fresh, seasonal ingredients so the menu is subject
to change. If you’re looking for restaurants in Leeds that give a little something more, consider a visit to The Claret
Jug especially as Oulton Hall has been converted into a 5-star hotel, complete
with golf course. What better way to get away from it all then to book a stay,
where you can enjoy the gorgeous countryside as well as tuck into the culinary delights
of The Claret Jug.
