The chef behind Nottingham's Michelin-starred Alchemilla has revealed his latest concept - a fried chicken restaurant with soft serve ice cream. It will be called Mollis, a subspecies of the plant alchemilla after which the restaurant is named.
Alex Bond is aiming to open the new venture in November next door to the fine dining restaurant in Derby Road, near Canning Circus. Soft serve ice cream will also be on the menu, plus cocktails, craft beers and natural wines.
Nottingham is saturated with fried chicken joints - KFC, Jollibees, Crunch Munch and coming soon Popeyes - but this aims to be a notch above in Alex's own inimitable style. He said: "In essence it is fried chicken but with our spin on it and our understanding of food and cooking and flavour.
