Set menu provides perfect option for school holiday parents

With the school holidays in full swing, parents or carers of children wanting to pop out for a relaxing meal without the kids in tow can take advantage of a superb value for money set-menu at one of Durham’s most established restaurants.

With many kids off on summer camps or being looked after by relatives or friends, allows parents the perfect chance to go out for a quiet bite to eat.

And for those wanting real value for money will be hard pushed to find anything better than at Marco Pierre White’s Steakhouse on Old Elvet which has in place a set menu offering of two courses for just £20.95.

Called the ‘1961’, the set-menu options pay homage to Pierre White’s birth year and includes many of the dishes guests enjoy when dining off the main à la carte.

Tom Orange, general manager said: “We’re incredibly conscious that the summer holidays can prove to be an expensive time for parents.

“However, the availability of the 1961 set-menu means those wanting to pop out for a nice meal can do so without worrying too much about the cost and is at a price point which makes it arguably one of the best value for money menus in the area.

“Of course, the 1961 set-menu is not restricted to just parents looking to enjoy a nice meal out without the kids but anyone who wants an incredible value for money deal.”
