Fletchers Restaurant — Restaurant in Nottingham

Lunch An excellent value 3 course lunch.

Fletchers is a restaurant that is staffed by students who are being trained by industry professionals whilst gaining experience in a real working restaurant. Therefore Fletchers Restaurant operates in term time only.

They have regular themed evenings and collaborations with award-winning chefs. One being a former student chef_hira_thakur who has gone on to have a very successful career in the industry including an appearance in Master Chef.

Our visit was at lunch time where they have on offer a three course menu for the very reasonable price of £13.95. There were three of us so we had "one of everything on the menu". Always wanted to say that in a restaurant.🤣

Starters Mushroom soup Pressed ham hock Megrim sole paupiette - As good as any restaurant we've been to and had this in.

Mains Pan fried chicken breast Rosemary Gnocchi Ray wing - which we've never had before but was delicious.

Desserts Ginger cheesecake White chocolate mousse Sticky toffee pudding a good old classic😋

The young servers were lovely with their white gloves on and looked very professional. If you are in town and want somewhere completely different from the norm, at a very good value price. Then give these students your support and see the future stars of...

Just visited Fletchers for one of their themed evenings. This time was an especially unusual one - a Finnish evening inspired by the Level 3 students recent visit to the country. Six wonderful courses for less than £30. I couldn’t believe how good it was. First course was a shared bread and dip course - sour dough bread and salted flat bread accompanied by crawfish mayo, flavoured butters and a selection of pickles (delicious). Next came white fish gravlax accompanied by a fennel and liquorice mayo - seems this very unique flavour is very Finnish. I wanted more! This was followed by a succulent salmon dish in a dill fish broth - so good! And then came the piece de resistance - a perfectly grilled venison loin with braised venison also, potato puree, pickles and gravy. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven (no - just Finland). Two dessert courses followed. I don’t have a sweet tooth but my two friends were nearly ‘daggers at dawn’ fighting for my extra portion. The first sweet course looked so terrific that even though I didn’t eat it, I just had to take a photo. I nearly weakened at the last course a chocolate mousse egg but had it snatched from me before I could give in. What a terrific evening! Why oh why don’t more people know of this...

I have recently been to a few meals at Fletchers, the most recent being the Notts and Derby Wine School evening and a level 3 student takeover menu 14th June 'British coastline Menu'. The wine school evening was a first..... who knew wine has legs! This evening was pricer than normal but you get fabulous food paired with a different wine for each course. While you are waiting each course to come out you are given a great rundown of the wine, where it's produced and how to develop your appreciation of the flavour. Very interesting and will be booking another of these evenings. The British Coastline menu was excellent out of the five courses I could not pick a favourite..... praise indeed. The standard of food was excellent, service was good and staff as helpful as ever...... Chris will happily recommend a wine if you are stuck for choice. Taking of wine..... there's a new wine list.... win, win!

I will be back in a couple of weeks for the Gala menu, just a shame it...
