Last night we had a customer come back for the second night in a row just to have this dish...

Our fettuccine ragu bianco: chicken, wild mushrooms, leeks & mascarpone.

It's bursting with flavour and exactly the type of hearty dish you need to brighten up your day.

To quote our returning customer David 'What a stunning dish. I'll be coming back to Newcastle just for this. I'm tempted to try it at home but not sure I'll quite to it justice.'

Want to try the dish that's so good it's got people travelling far and wide?
