Something spicy has arrived at the cosy Cardiff restaurant Neighbourhood Kitchen & Cocktails! After a run of sell-out menus such as their famous Crawfish Boil, decadent £10 Lobster and Bottomless Gravy Fondue, they’re presenting a delicious street food menu with a firey twist: Irish Spice Bags!
At its core, the Irish Spice Bag is the ultimate Irish/Chinese street food featuring the perfect balance of heat, flavour, and crunch. You may have seen these bags of flavour all over the internet, and now it’s your chance to try them yourself from Wednesday 5th February – Saturday 1st March, only at Neighbourhood!
The base of your spice bag starts with Neighbourhood’s in-house hand-cut fries, sauteed onions and peppers, but what happens next is entirely up to you! You can customise your Irish Spice Bag by adding crispy chicken, crispy beef, chip-shop scampi, Quorn strips or go big and opt for the House Special (a combination of them all!). Next, choose your seasoning, whether you like it mild or fiery, they have options to suit everyone such as Chinese Five Spice, Lemon Pepper or Spicy Habanero. Finally, you’ll need something to dip everything in! Enjoy classic Chip Shop or Irish Curry sauce, Sweet & Sour, Sweet Chilli or Crispy Chilli Oil. Whether you pour, drizzle or dip, get all your mates to order something different so you can try a mix…
All of this is sealed tight in a bag, shaken to perfection and brought to your table for you to open up and enjoy.
But no Irish/Chinese feast is complete without some knock-out sides. This menu boasts the ultimate Prawn Toast, Sticky Chicken Wings, Pork Spare Ribs, crispy Spring Rolls and Char Siu Pork Buns to name just a few.
Need something to wash this all down with? The Neighbourhood team have curated an extra special cocktail menu for you to enjoy including an alcoholic bubble tea and refreshing Lucky Buddha beers ice-cold out of the fridge. Finish the meal with a complimentary fortune cookie for a peek into your future, if you dare…
The owner of Neighbourhood, Tudor Barber, wanted to bring their customers a fun and different way to enjoy their weekend takeaway – a Chinese feast to end all feasts! He told us….
“We’re throwing it back to the classic Chinese takeaway, fortune cookies and all! After seeing Irish Spice Bgas all over my social media I thought Cardiff had to have a taste. It was a great opportunity to get our chefs busy in the kitchen creating a feast that screamed traditional takeaway favourites with a Neighbourhood twist that still absolutely delivers on flavour!
This is the perfect menu to gather your friends and family or treat your partner to something a little different. I can’t wait to see everyone’s faces when they get to tear open their own customised Irish Spice Bags surrounded by a table full of delicious food. It’s a feast for the eyes as well as the belly, so pull together your squad and come and see what all the fuss is about!”
As an extra special treat, Neighbourhood Kitchen have also teamed up with Bristol-based brewery, Lost and Grounded Brewers for a Six Nations takeaway deal. Every match day, you can pop into Neighbourhood and order an Irish Spice Bag to go paired with a refreshing pint of Lost and Grounded Helles Lager or Wanna Go To The Sun Pale Ale. In terms of match-day fuel, this one will be hard to beat!
The Neighbourhood Irish Spice Bag menu will run for 4 weeks ONLY – so book your table before it’s too late. And with only 22 seats you better be quick, as they fill up fast! They’re taking a £10 deposit per head at the time of booking which will be taken off your bill on the night. More details and to book a table go HERE.
