REMEMBER when Hugh Fernley-Whernley (as he’s known in our household) tried to get us to eat pollock, huss, gurnard, coley, pouting and other unloved denizens of the deep? Well, it didn’t cut a single block of fishmonger’s ice in Worksop.
Takeaway Test: Ruchi, 60 Barber Road, Sheffield. Phone: 0114 2668200
ON its menu, Ruchi promises to ‘follow the art of spice’ – an enigmatic claim, but one that proved intriguing enough for us to want to order from the takeaway on a chilly midweek evening.
