HU17’s Discreet Diner Gives The Molescroft Inn the THUMBS UP!

Hearing that there is a new Kitchen Team at The Molescroft Inn, The Discreet Diner decided to pay a visit.

We hadn’t booked a table but as we were relatively early (accidentally in time to take advantage of the great Early Bird Menu – 2 meals for a Tenner!) there were tables free.

This a family pub – catering for children (a baby’s bottle was warmed up by the bar staff while we were there) with a separate children’s menu, up to the older generation, with a generous sprinkling of all other ages in between.

The bar staff gave us a warm and most helpful welcome, and he is an asset to their team – despite there being a minor error in communication between him and the kitchen – resulting in the wrong main meal being offered. I dithered but declined – preferring my original choice, but that was not a problem because of the un-prompted offer of a free round of drinks…and my companions promising to eat slowly!

The wine list looked impressive including house choices at a reasonable price, and there was a wide selection of draught and bottled beers and lagers.

Several interesting menus are offered – The Children’s Menu, “The 2 Meals For A Tenner Menu,” the Regular Menu and the Specials Board which contains delights such as Lamb Shank in Minted Gravy and Swordfish with Mango Salsa.

Vegetarians are catered for too in every menu (for example Mushroom and Spinach Stroganoff). All the specials are all priced at under £10 but there is a separate Grill Menu for steaks and meat lovers which is more pricey. Discreet Diner was especially impressed with the Unique Slimming World Menu with SYN values included. This menu offers, for example, Soy Salmon, Vegetable Chilli and Bangers and Mash and so on, all meals with a healthy twist.

Football for Good - How the Beautiful Game Is Making a Difference

The jumbo fish portions looked massive, so we ordered from “The 2 Meals For A Tenner Menu.” The fish and chips and gammon were both well proportioned and well cooked – the fish batter being light and crisp, and the fish succulent. The gammon was well cooked, juicy, and the egg perfect. Both came with chips and peas.

I ordered from the Specials Board, and my Cod Wrapped in Smoked Salmon with a Creamy Clam Sauce was delectable, moist and well presented! The only fault would be that the separate vegetables, new potatoes, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli looked rather tired.

We were far too full to investigate the small but enticing dessert menu (Hot Chocolate Fudge Cake, Cranberry Roulade and so on)

Our total bill came to just under £25 for 3 adults including one round of drinks (and one on the house)

Our meals were tasty, filling and well presented. The bar-man was charming. The atmosphere was welcoming and I would definitely recommend The Molescroft Inn for families and couples alike!
