I tried Manchester-based restaurant The Laundrette's new 10 year anniversary menu and it was perfect for summer
Yesterday, I went down to The Laundrette which is based in Chorlton to try out their brand new summer-themed menu which was made to celebrate their 10 year anniversary.
I was greeted by Harry who served me for the evening and was incredibly helpful with his knowledge of the best drinks and mocktails.
I decided to go for the Yummy Mummy Mojito mocktail which included fresh strawberries, lychee syrup, mint, apple juice and lime juice. This came to £7.50 and it was wonderful!
This drink wasn’t small and came in a large glass with a lovely mint and strawberry garnish.
After a long hot day, this was so refreshing!
For my main, I had the vegan Crispy Cauliflower Salad which included: baby spinach, paprika roasted chickpeas, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, crispy battered cauliflower, red onion, tortilla crisps, cumin & coriander dressing, chilli oil and micro coriander.
This came to £9.50 and was very light and fresh. The cauliflower was battered perfectly and the dressing added a lovely flavour to the salad.
For dessert, I tried the new Vimto Bakewell Tart. This really sparked my interest as Vimto is very Manchester having been made here in 1908.
The dessert included: a pastry shell, vimto jam, frangipane filling, served warm with vimto sauce and raspberry ripple ice cream. This is a really interesting concept and I have never tried anything like this before. At first, I thought it was all a bit weird and wonderful but after tasting, it certainly erred more on the wonderful side!
The vimto sauce works so well with the warmth of the pastry and the frangipane filling.
Overall, the staff at The Laundrette were incredibly attentive and the food was the perfect summery vibe.
Head down to The Laundrette in Chorlton to try this new menu!
