Known for pushing the boundaries in molecular mixology, avant-garde restaurant and cocktail bar, The Lost & Found, will be taking its dining to new levels this autumn with a new menu of seasonal plates that will be launching into its Leeds and Sheffield sites this Wednesday (27th October). Expect a brand-new menu of elevated and perfectly plated dishes alongside the venues’ signature steaks and hand-stretched pizzas, all perfectly paired with expertly crafted, inventive cocktails in true The Lost & Found style.
Led by Executive chef, Jon Mahoney, the menu has been transformed with dishes inspired by the best of seasonal produce. Dive into nibbles whilst you wait of Black truffle croquettes and Suffolk pork and rosemary salami, before enjoying starters of Seared wild-caught scallops with minted peas and chorizo jam, Beef Ragu and mozzarella arancini with truffle and Madeira mayonnaise, or Whole burrata with Romesco sauce and charred Padrón peppers.
For the main show, the menu takes diners on a culinary trip across land, river, and garden. Highlights include Teriyaki Glazed Duck Breast with a salad of sesame noodles, cucumber, spring onion and radish served with a spiced soy broth, British lobster thermidor with seasoned fried and green salad; and Chargrilled harissa aubergine served with Kalamata olives, tabbouleh salad, hummus, and dukkha spice. The Lost & Found’s oven pizzas will be back, as will a selection of 21-day aged steaks, cooked to perfection in the charcoal oven and served with confit tomato, triple-cooked chips, and buttermilk onion rings.
Those popping in for lunch or a quick bite can enjoy a selection of finger-friendly dishes from fish finger open sandwiches through to small plates of Cornflake chicken with chipotle mayonnaise and jalapeños, Glazed lamb ribs and Bang bang cauliflower.
Not to be forgotten, pair dinner with a bottle of wine from the expertly curated list or opt for one of The Lost & Found’s insta-worthy cocktails – molecular concoctions include The Bubble Popper featuring the No. 3 Gin and Martini Fiero, topped with a single smoke-filled bubble, and The Grand Frappetière, a sharing cocktail of Grey Goose with Baileys Irish Cream, shaken with salted caramel and freshly brewed espresso.
