Food abandons menu…biggest change to menu in 7 years!

New Food menu...

We have been working hard at Food restaurant for the last 6 months to re-design many of our unique dishes. Don’t panic as most of your favourites will still be there in some format, but at least 50% of the dishes are now new and yes, you guessed it, brand new stories too.

Eat your heart out, like Fifty Shades of Grey with dishes like new starters such as Boutique Ribs, Crab Cheesecake and Goats Cheese Tartlet to tempt you… and new mains Confit Lamb Shoulder which is Food’s interpretation of a famous Greek dish called Kleftiko, or how about Blackened Prawn and Pork Tenderloin if you are a lover of BBQ. Another exciting dish we are looking forward to launching is the Venison Chermoula Tagine. If you did not know already a tagine is cone-shaped to allow heat to build up at the top of the cone, which then builds up moisture. The moisture drips back down onto the foods, allowing for very moist and tender venison.

Listen out for our new advert on Splash FM. We did try to get Kate Moss to read out our advert and Morgan Freeman so listen out to hear who we finally did get…

Our new menu at Food restaurant is now live after months of waiting so pop in or call us to book on 01903 227780 to give our fantastic new dishes a try and let us know what you think by emailing us at info@protorestaurantgroup.com.

Also, just to really tempt you…a new mouth watering dessert has launched at Food restaurant, Quattro Profiteroles Giganti which consists of fresh baked pastry filled with whipped flavoured creams of orange and cointreau, toffee and baileys, chili strawberry and tiramisu for only £7.

Is your mouth watering yet…

Our promo girls at the Splash Awards.

Just to say the Splash FM Awards on 21 March was a great success and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. We would like to congratulate everyone who received their well deserved award on the night. There was not a dry eye in the house by the end of the ceremony!

There are many great individuals in our area and they need to be recognised. Another reason why we sponsor these awards every year is because they are community and charity based awards. Proto Restaurant Group are strong supporters of the Worthing community and we are always looking to help local heroes.

Well lots going on as you can see so pop in and see us soon at Food (01903 227780) or The Fish Factory (01903 207123) Worthing or Littlehampton (01903 715000).
