Our New Spring and Summer Menu

Our ‘New Look’ Spring and Summer Menu brings more options to guests with a ‘Main Menu’ replacing the ‘Evening Menu’ with this being available during both sittings at The Elsworth Poacher.

David and Colleen have worked on a more concise Lunchtime Menu which will have the ‘Main Menu’ available alongside it during the daytime. As every the lunch menu will have a selection of Sandwiches, Panini’s and Jacket Potatoes plus ‘Lunchtime Classics’, a small selection of traditional lunchtime favourites such as Ham, Egg and Chips and Scampi, Chips and Peas. Our popular ‘Burger Bar’ will also be available at lunchtime, a great range of home-made burgers with all the trimmings and more!

The ‘Main Menu’ is full of great new dishes with an emphasis on fresh delicious home-cooked food that people can relate to. Working closely with Fenstanton Butchers there is now The Elsworth Poachers own recipe Beef, Pork and Black Pepper Sausage and a range of marinated Kebabs, we pride ourselves on full traceability on all our meat. Some great new Fish dishes are sure to be popular, with a Hand Battered Cod Fillet and a healthier option Glorious Grain Scampi available, Langoustine Tails coated in a red and yellow quinoa, linseed and amaranth seed crumb make this the best Scampi around.

As usual there is always an excellent vegetarian selection available, from a home-made pie to great burgers and sausages, a real pride is taken in producing great tasting vegetarian options.

David’s Desserts have become guilty pleasures for many guests, all handmade from pastry to puddings and fillings, David loves to produce mouth-watering favourites.

The Elsworth Poacher’s ‘Roasts with a Difference’ for Sunday Lunch have become extremely popular, with cuts of meat used instead of joints. Meat served on the bone provides a flashback to days gone by and is absolutely delicious!

For those of you who have never visited the Elsworth Poacher before we always recommend booking in advance, we only have nine tables and prioritise bookings, also we do require pre-orders on all tables of eight and above due to the size of our kitchen. For further details please do not hesitate to contact us.
