 A Note on our Menus

All of our menus are prepared in-house by our in-house chef team. Everything is baked and made fresh from our bread, cakes, cookies and desserts and we pickle, cure, roast and toast the finest ingredients from Sheffield and Yorkshire. 

We work 100% seasonally so sometimes we will need to change ingredients out for what is best and fresh - we’ll let you know if we need to tweak your chosen menu ahead of your event. 

We’ve carefully curated a delicious wine and beer line up that matches our menus. Our drinks are beautifully chosen from boutique merchants and specialists doing great stuff in small batches. Plus we have the perfect cocktail selection to see you through from arrivals to nightcaps.

Simply pre-order with us when you confirm your final numbers and we’ll make sure that your cocktails, wine and beer is served up perfectly for you to enjoy.  

Hire of The Chimney House is included in the menu prices, which show price per head.

Menu 3 - THE LADEN TABLE  - £60 per person ex VAT - £72 inc VAT

This is our signature menu and a real ‘food lovers’ Feast. The Laden Table  showcases the absolute best of the season. It includes some of our house made favourites and is by far our most popular menu and showcases what our chefs do best! It is an absolute treat for your guests - and epitomises a long lazy feast that goes so well with great guests and conversation! The Laden Table is also a complete feast for all of the senses as pretty as it is taste sensational! 

Early spring is often referred to as ‘the hungry gap’ - as the winter vegetables come to an end, but the new season produce is yet to start. This presents a challenge for the farmers (and our chefs!) - but is an opportunity to use the available produce as it comes & goes. Working with Organic North (based in Manchester) gives us access to organic farmers all over the UK & Europe. Depending on the weather (of course) there is an abundance of beautiful fish & shellfish available in our seas.

This menu is all about using the best produce we can get & creating unique menu for your event on the day - definitely the one for foodies!

Gordal picante olives (v, ve)

Beetroot with fermented Yorkshire rhubarb & ajo blanco (an almond & garlic sauce) (v, g, contains nuts)

We’ll usually create one fish based starter and a meat or vegetarian dish - let us know if you have a preference.

Sample starters: Mackerel, sardines or red mullet - marinated with garlic & parsley / Fresh salmon crudo - lightly cured & dressed fresh fennel, lemon & olive oil / Grilled padron peppers & alioli / Air dried ham with walnuts & manchego

THE MAIN EVENT 

Yorkshire hogget leg - cooked ‘kleftiko’ style on the bone, with charlotte potatoes, oregano & lemon

A Note On Dietary Requirements

At The Mowbray and The Chimney House we do our best to cater for any allergies or dietary requirements. In order to do this we ask that you provide full and thorough information in advance of your event.

When compiling this information please ensure your guests provide accurate information about their dietary needs. We need to know whether it is a severe allergy, a medical requirement or a preference so that we can make suitable adjustments. We may not provide a similar alternative where it is a preference, unless this can be catered for within the menu (see 'Plain Food' below). We will presume any dietary information given is correct and take it at face value.

A Recent Testimonial 

“My gorgeous wife was approaching a big birthday and the family decided we should celebrate in style.

My daughter thought best to relieve me of any organisational responsibilities and instead took up with the Chimney House.

Inspired.

The Chimney House itself is in a lovely part of Kelham Island -  bustling, fun and slightly trendy. The room with low beams, bare bricked walls and long oak tables perfectly suited a long, gentle afternoon with gorgeous food and 30 wonderful, if loud, friends and family.

And what food.

The lamb was slow cooked in Persian spices and was adoringly complemented by crispy salads, aromatic vegetables and warm flat breads to die for. For those with any spare room, the deserts were just perfect. The Chimney House matched the food with outstanding wines. An afternoon to remember forever.”
