The Inn Collection Group unveils “delicious” new menus across pub network

The Inn Collection Group has unveiled its new spring menus across its network of in-model pubs with rooms across the north of England.

Packed with pub classics the new look bill of fare aims to reflect the mood of the season, making use of “great quality” ingredients and cooking them simply to create “delicious dishes bursting with flavour”.

There has been a keen focus that all menus offer “excellent value for money” too, allowing people to continue enjoying the conviviality of their local inn despite the ongoing squeeze on household budgets.

Starters and deserts across the estate, which includes sites across Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, North Yorkshire and the Lake District have been “heavily revisited”, with new dishes joining regular “crowd-pleasers” like loaded potato skins.

These include a game terrine served with crusty bread and pickles, beer-battered king prawns with a wild garlic mayonnaise and steamed mussels in a fragrant Thai broth.

The main event sees the addition of up to 10 new dishes sitting alongside pub favourites such as traditional fish and chips, burgers and ham, egg and chips, and includes a range of vegetarian and meat-free alternatives including a superfood salad and Miso-glazed aubergine with sesame udon noodles.

Alongside the new look main menu and embracing the “freshness” associated with spring, there is also the addition of a new light bites menu between 11am and 5pm offering roast meat baguettes, smoked haddock rarebit and delicious fish & chips.

Rolling out at sites this week, head of food at The Inn Collection Group Tom Adlam is pleased with the new range of dishes set to be offered. He commented: “We’re excited about the new spring menu at The Inn Collection Group. It’s still full of pub classics but we have tried to add a lighter touch for spring.

“There has been a real focus on improving our staples, with a new version of our burger, a new batter mix for our fish & chips and ham & poached duck eggs with chips, while the new light bites menu offers a wide range of delicious options at a great value.

“I’m confident the new menus will delight visitors to our in-model venues alongside the current individual offerings at The Midland in Morecambe, Grasmere’s The Wordsworth Hotel and The Bull’s Head Inn at Beaumaris.”
