In a city teeming with real and fictional gateways, it’s exciting to discover a wonderland of modern British cuisine and culinary magic behind an unassuming door. Door 74 celebrates the best of British ingredients – fresh, seasonal vegetables and locally sourced meat – and combines these with complementary fl avours from around the world.
This restaurant may be small but its menu is expertly crafted. Pan-fried, fresh Cornish mackerel fillet served on toast with gooseberry chutney, spiced lamb koftas with yoghurt and mint dressing, and sweet spiced carrot fritters with chilli dipping sauce transport you to different realms of the globe. And you’ll be bowled over by mains such as tea-smoked chicken breast served with panzanella (a tomato, olive and bread salad), mixed leaves and aioli; and a roast pepper, wilted leaves, pine nuts and feta cheese risotto – each mouthful tells of quality and imagination.
Don’t miss out on Door 74’s pound-stretching offers too; on weekdays, a two-course lunch is just £7.95, while three courses cost £9.95. There’s also a fantastic weekend brunch menu. Private functions for up to 40 can be comfortably catered for as well.
Forget rabbit holes and wardrobes and book a table at Door 74. Once you’ve stepped inside, the memory will stay with you and you’ll find you have to return.
