Grazing the menu of Ancoats delight Street Urchin, you’ll see an array of enticing sharing plates, seafood dishes and vegetarian delights. But one thing you won't have spotted is a dish featuring squirrel. That is, of course, until now.
Located on Great Ancoats Street, the cosy 'English market diner' has become known for its ever-rotating menu featuring locally sourced and seasonal produce since it opened in the summer of 2019. Food critic Jay Rayner once even went as far as describing it as a ‘place where good things happen’.
While the restaurant - fronted by husband and wife team Kevin and Rachel Choudhary - has served the likes of panko mackerel fillet, sticky ox cheek stew, and butternut squash dumplings in the past, the newest 'nutty' menu dish has caught many by surprise.
