Mobile Food Guide Review of Northcote ManorSet amid the beautiful landscape of the Ribble Valley, Nigel Haworth and Craig Bancroft's attractive brick manor house is well into its third decade as a Michelin-starred restaurant and congenial country hotel. Much of Northcote Manor still feels unashamedly traditional, although the dining room hits the contemporary minimalist button with its sparse, airy décor. Over the years, Nigel Haworth has proved his worth as a crusading supporter of regional food, although his food doesn't simply follow the flock; instead it's an enthralling mix of local pride and understated – but dazzling – innovation. Menus change every week, although a few dishes (notably Northcote's famous black pudding and buttered pink trout with mustard and watercress sauce) are long-standing fixtures. Elsewhere, it's a celebration of the north country's best, with some input from faraway lands and a few tongue-in-cheek gestures along the way. Steamed Langdale mutton might be served as a starter with Jerusalem artichoke purée, crisps, mint and shallot dressing, while con-fed Goosnargh duck could appear with duck straws, spicy red cabbage, turnip purée and mead. As for desserts, old and new come together nicely in – say – Bramley's Seedling apple crumble soufflé with Lancashire cheese ice cream or melting ginger pudding with iced double cream and caramel custard. The wine list is a stellar global selection that hardly misses a trick as its works its way around the globe in mouth-watering detail. Nigel Haworth has also moved into the world of gastro pubs, spreading the word in the Three Fishes, Mitton and the recently opened Highwayman near Kirkby Lonsdale.
