The Art School are getting ready for Valentine’s Day with Paul Askew and his team crafting two menus for the celebratory occasion.
Their Prix Fixe and Celebration Menu feature some of the finest ingredients sourced from across the region to create an array of stunning dishes at Sugnall Street.
Paul says: “Valentine’s Day is always a big moment in the hospitality world as we ease away from January. We are opening The Art School specially as we’re usually closed on a Monday. It feels like a momentous day for the industry as a whole because last year’s Valentine’s Day didn’t happen in restaurants so we are excited to welcome people back here as they indulge themselves in the moment.”
For anyone looking for an extra special way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, there are two dining experiences to savour in the beautiful restaurant which continues to drive the city’s gastronomic energy and creativity forward. The Prix Fixe menu is an early evening 4-course service and the Celebration Menu features 6 courses and an optional wine flight for an extra level of immersion.
Paul continues: “We’ve been busy conveying our inspirations from what’s happening at the fields, farms, dairies and artisanal producers who continue to do wonderful things on our doorstep. Everything we do is about using what we have around us, channelling this through the kitchen and onto each guest’s plate. For Valentine’s Day it’s no different – we have created two options for anyone wanting to celebrate their love and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to The Art School on February 14th.”
