The world of fine dining can be intimidating if you've never tried it before. There's often ingredients and dishes on the menu that seem completely alien. Then there's the cost - a typical tasting menu can set you back at least £100.
The cost of living crisis has put a squeeze on eating out but there's still plenty of people wanting good food. A Nottingham restaurant is taking a different approach with what it calls "starter pack" fine dining with a six course menu for £55. What makes it all the more remarkable is that fact that hundreds of dishes a night are crafted in the smallest of spaces, using a pizza oven.
Located on Alfreton Road near the Canning Circus traffic lights, Sans Patrie has reinvented itself from when it opened in early March 2020 - just weeks before the first lockdown of the pandemic. The thrust of the menu at that time was tapas and flatbreads - hence the pizza oven.
