You would drive past Bee Rogi every day of the week. I did, twice in fact, when I was trying to find it, ending up in a seemingly never ending loop around Denton - Haughton Green to be precise - until I spotted it, tucked in between the post office and the florist.
I’d been looking for a good Polish place, and while there are a few flashier spots in town, this tiny establishment just outside the M60 tipped the balance with its online review score. While such online rumblings should rarely be used as a reliable yardstick for quality, who doesn’t love an underdog story? And at 4.9 stars out five at the time of writing, that’s, well, almost perfect right?
This sketch of near perfection was further inked into being by the menu on its Instagram page. Changing daily was a line-up of Polish greatest hits; dishes like chicken de volaille, Poland's answer to the chicken kiev, beef goulash with potato pancakes, sour cucumber soup, kotlet schabowy, a pork schnitzel topped with a fried egg, and traditional borscht. Oh, and dumplings. Dumplings for miles.
