Say hello to Nick, our new manager. He's one of the great new team here at The Almanack, and though he may be new to Leicester, his talents are well-known to us. Nick's been a star performer in several of our sister pubs, including our namesake The Almanack over in Kenilworth and most recently The One Elm in Stratford. Heaps of energy and bright ideas helped him make these two pubs even better, earning him the title of manager in three short years. He also worked for Premier Inns and the Connaught Hotel in Bournemouth after playing a leading role of a completely different kind - Nick was a drama student at Poole College. Watch out for a stellar performance here too. |

We're rather chuffed to have a new chef in the kitchen who's already got off to a flying start. Welcome to Dan who hot-foots it from our sister pub The One Elm in Stratford-upon-Avon, where his talents for cooking up a rather stunning Sunday roast got him into the finals of this year's Great British Pub Food Awards. Dan's loved the kitchen for as long as he can remember - he started out washing the dishes before getting his chef's whites at Stratford College and has since cooked in some great places like the Aylesford Hotel in Warwick before coming to us. Dan's culinary influences stretch from the Deep South to the Far East, so expect some exciting new dishes on a menu he's making the best in town! |

Lee is co-founder of Peach and our number one foodie. His passion for food came from his mum, who always got great food on the table even though cash was in short supply. After catering college, a stint at Brian Turner’s restaurant in Walton Street endorsed his love of fine food and a vision was born. Lee set off on his travels around the world collecting ideas and inspiration and landed back at the Bath Spa Hotel. Precious time off saw Lee jumping on the next train to London to check out the latest hot-spots and he soon grabbed the chance to work for Raymond Blanc in his latest venture, le Petit Blanc. After five inspirational years with Raymond, Lee decided to go it alone. He was lucky enough to meet Hamish who was looking to start a new business, and the rest is history! |

For every Caesar salad we sell, we will be making a 25p contribution to Leicester Charity Link who help over 5,000 local people and children each year, overcome poverty, hardship and crisis.

Why
Caesar salad? Well, it’s not the lowest calorie dish, but we think
you’ll love it, so it met our fundraising criteria for a best-seller
that will be on the menu all year round. |

We will be changing our menus with the seasons and we’re hard line on
animal welfare. All our chicken, eggs and pork are free-range. We do
not use foie gras. Our Aberdeenshire beef is Scotch Beef Club
accredited and our chefs regularly visit the farmers. We buy British
wherever we can to keep food miles down, and, where we need to import
ingredients, we minimise air-freight. Provenance is key to serving
trustworthy food. Our coffee is ethically sourced from Guatemala (by
Union Coffee Roasters, recently voted No. 1 ethical coffee company) and
the bespoke furniture we commission is made from European oak and iroko
timber from sustainable forests. We have also worked with the Carbon
Trust to ensure that The Almanack operates as energy efficiently as
possible. |
