Jorden Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Yes, It is quite expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you are a true foodie you will love it! Tessa pretty much runs front of house and is very welcoming to all guests. The wine list is exellent & if you are not sure what to drink, they will always help you pick one to accompany your meal. We try and go 2-3 times each year, and experience the seasonal changes in menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Ive lived in the area all my life now, but didnt know about it untill I started getting interested in food! - I guess its not the type of place that needs to advertise, kind of exclusive but not in a snobbish kind of way.

Tubthump Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 Does anyone know if it's still retained it's Michelin star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenback Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 It still has a Michelin star as far as I know, I'm sure it would have been news if it was taken away. But to correct your original post, it's not the only restaurant in Yorkshire with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHS1961 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Old Vicarage is very good and on a different league to anything on offer at Nonnas. If going to a Michelin starred restaurant is important to you, then I would head for Fischers at Baslow which imho is very,very special and better then Teresa Bramley's place. they are both excellent though.

You're quite right Greenback, Pool Court at 42 in Leeds has one. I think the Old Vicerage is the only one in South Yorkshire, or am I wildly wrong?

In the rest of the county there's also the Star Inn at Harome, North Yorkshire, the Devonshire arms in Skipton and Venn in Hull (I think) who have a star each.

somelove Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I had a bad experience there. Tessa seemed to take a dislike to our group. , When we were giving her our orders, as I started to speak she looked at me with disgust and said "I'm taking the ladies first". I am not disputing this is the correct etiquette (although it wasn't something I was aware of before), but when you are paying £70 per head, you don't expect a school teacher style ticking off. It changed the mood instantly. We were served our first course at 10.30pm (after being left in the sitting room from 8.30 which was the time of the reservation). The food was excellent, but by that time my blood sugar level was so low I'd have enjoyed eating my own shoe. I prefered Fischers much more. I also love The Terrace in Hathersage (although I must admit bias as I do work with them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
