Many of us whip out the mint sauce for our lamb roast over Easter but if you are on the hunt for something extra special this year then these three Harrogate restaurants have got you covered.

Get your chops around these – some of our featured restaurants have a more traditional offering while others have used inspiration from cultures around the world for their own take.

Spice Culture: Patiala Shahi Lamb Chops

Shahi Jeera (Royal Cumin) flavoured lamb chops marinated with ginger, garlic, yoghurt, mace and cardamom.

Spice Culture marinates its lamb chops for more than eight hours before cooking them in the Indian Clay Oven (The Tandoor) at a very high temperature.

The chef then serves the sizzling lamb with a salad mix and mint yoghurt chutney. This popular dish is a winner with the chef’s own mix of special Indian spices which he blends and grinds in the kitchen.

This Shahi Jeera is Spice Culture’s best selling dish – a real customer favourite perfect all year round but particularly at Easter.

West Park: Slow Cooked Leg Of Spring Lamb

Served with Tomato, Mint & Pea Fricassee, Creamed Potato, Spinach, Lamb Sauce.

West Park Hotel’s Leg Of Lamb dish is part of its seasonal spring menu that helped win it the ‘Best Food Offer’ at The Publican Awards 2022.

Freshly made to order, the flavours of this mouthwatering lamb are enhanced by creamed potato and fresh spinach. This is the perfect spring dish.

Papa’s: Lamb Souvlaki

Onion, garlic, oregano and a touch of mint marinade with side salad.

Papa’s Lamb Skewers are a real taste sensation. The chef marinates them for hours in herbs and spices before chargrilling them for that signature smokey flavour.

Enjoy the skewers with flatbreads, Mediterranean salad, or any other their other authentic dishes. This is not a dish to be missed.
