“We’ve let the chef down here. This is seriously tasty and yet we’ve just ordered a giant kebab.” But there was no going back. The huge char-grilled skewer was on its way and we had potato and garlic gratin, roast maple parsnips and a mix of fine beans and sugar snap peas to eat alongside it (£2.95 each).
The kebab (£30) included Cumbrian fell lamb, marinated in garlic and rosemary; chilli chicken wings and chunks of chorizo.
It was delicious – and a really fun way to eat, even though we were beaten by the last few pieces of meat.
Still, that left room for dessert. I had the excellent passion fruit and mango brulee with shortbread and a very tasty sorbet (£6.95)
The boyfriend ordered the Ron Zacapa Experience (£9.95) – a glass of the 23-year-old Guatemalan rum served with espresso and some gorgeous chocolate and orange fudge.
And so made a lovely end to a surprisingly good meal. The Noble House might not yet have found its feet in terms of character and regular clientele, but the food alone will definitely make it worth the trip.
I guess the only hard part will be persuading your friends to join you for a nice kebab in town.
