Dinner Arthurs Belper 10 course tasting menu £65 Last minute booking at the best restaurant in Belper. This wasn't planned but saw they had a no show so we just rang up to grab the table. As they are normally fully booked when we have wanted to go. They do a 5 course £38 or 10 course £65. We chose the 10 obviously. Using the best locally sourced ingredients. To start is a lovely little snack described as Ham,egg & chip,which we could of eaten a whole bowl full. Next was the freshest Crich sourdough served with the roast tomato bisque. Cullen skink tart with an oozing egg in the middle as you cut through it. Next was the star of the show for us.
