Fort Kochi Restaurant

Northampton

Fort Kochi Restaurant, Northampton

Fort Kochi (or Fort Cochin) is in Kerala's coastal village town on south west coastal strip of India. Step into Fort Cochin, and you are in a totally different world, a tropical region made up almost entirely of inland waterways, coconut groves and spices. Fort Kochi has traded its spices like cardamon, ginger, turmeric sandal wood and black pepper - with Arab, Chinese and European merchants for thousands of years.

A peninsula, covered with sea in one side and backwater on the other sides is blessed with different species of sea food. It has a distinctive cuisine rich in its mild spices.

Our chef mastered the skill and art of cooking of this distinctive cuisine at an early age in his kitchen at home under the guidance of his mother. We at the 'Fort Kochi' are striving to bring in the experience and taste of Fort Kochi village and its dishes. We whole-heartedly welcome all to the mouth-watering journey to the mesmerizing world of spices, where each dish is being served in a different distinctive style … i.e. the colour, texture and taste are different from one another. Please patronize out hospitality and enjoy the never-ending journeys to the world of exotic spices, canals and waterways.

The Horse & Trumpet

South Leicestershire

The Horse & Trumpet

Dating from 1710, the thatched Horse and Trumpet started life as the local village pub (as you might have guessed from the name), but it has taken on a new lease of life since 2003. It occupies a delightful spot in the south Leicestershire countryside and has been carefully and sympathetically renovated.

Since opening the Horse & Trumpet quickly established itself as one of the leading restaurants with accommodation in the area. It was awarded 2 AA rosettes within months of opening and went on to be listed as Best Newcomer in Leicestershire by The Good Food Guide 2005 and has received the highest grade in the county every year since. At the Leicestershire & Rutland Restaurant Awards in 2005 the Horse & Trumpet won the Best Fine Dining Award while in 2006 there was even more success with Restaurant of the Year, Best Fine Dining and Best Young Chef.

Dedication to sourcing the freshest, finest food and preparing it in contemporary menus, coupled with friendly and relaxed service and a comprehensive wine list has always been the cornerstone of this success. Customers can always expect the best of seasonal produce to be prepared daily at the restaurant from the bread through to the petit fours. Established favourites such as the crab salad with fennel biscuit and avocado cream and the warm chocolate tart with tamarind ice cream ensure all who visit quickly return. The multi course tasting menus at lunch and dinner are always popular; a selection of wines matched to each course is available to show the food off to its best.

For those travelling from further a field, there are four individually appointed en suite rooms. Each has been lovingly restored and retain a host of original features. www.horseandtrumpet.co.uk

Rio Bravo

Rio Bravo

Looking for a good,fun place to dine? Why not try Rio Bravo Mexican restaurant, set in the beautiful surroundings of the Square in Market Harborough. It's great for all occasions, whether a meal for two or a night out with a large party, Mid week or weekend, there is always a lively hustle and bustle about the place. You can really get into the Mexican party mood with their fun packed nights of outstanding ambience.

The attentive and efficient team members are always looking for an excuse to celebrate, happy to whip out a big sombrero and a tequila slammer with sparkler for birthdays, not forgetting small sombreros for everyone else. Of the many drinks available there are many tequilas as well as Mexican beers, and if isn't enough then try a cocktail from the extensive menu.

The open kitchen means you can watch your meal being prepared. The friendly chef told us he comes from Acapulco and has worked in many top restaurants in Mexico, including the well known Palace Resort and The Crystal Hotel in Cancun.

There is a feast of authentic traditional Mexican favorites that appeal to all appetites. Starters are priced from £3.95, while main courses average £8.70, and portions are generous. You can spot the most popular dish, their famous fajitas quite easily as they pass you sizzling from the kitchen, with a whisp of smoke and gorgeous aroma that makes your mouth water.

Personally, one of my favourites is the 'Chinichanga la Changa', a crunchy tortilla stuffed with the filling of your choice and topped with melted cheese and jalapenos, sour cream and guacamole, presented with a lovely Mexican salad and refried beans. The sun always shines at Rio Bravo.
