I try cosy autumn feast and love warming curry with hearty apple and rhubarb crumble

Seasons change and so do appetites and palates. When the nights draw in and temperatures plummet faster than the proverbial lead balloon, I crave wholesome, hearty dishes.

Lucky for me Cosy Club launched a new autumn winter menu packed with globally inspired dishes created with seasonal British produce.

Cosy Club said: “At the heart of the new menu are a couple of incredible Malvani curries inspired by Cosy Club chef Mayank’s family recipe.

“This recipe has been passed down through the generations back home in Malvan – a coastal town in Maharashtra’s Konkan region in India.”

I love exploring new flavour profiles which is why I couldn't wait to dive into my coastal inspired curry with a base of coconut, red onion and tamarind.

Warming, lightly spiced and like a hug in a bowl, this curry hit the spot with me on a near-freezing Sunday afternoon.

Dining partner was in the mood for something lighter, so she chose Panko Crusted Cod & Chips.

The caper butter sauce accompanying the line-caught cod was a nice twist on the British classic, like a posher version of the usual Friday night chippy.

And that is the beauty of the new Cosy Club menu.

It appears to have something for everyone, regardless of how hungry the diner is.

Light bites include Hot Honey Halloumi with subtle smoky depths, which could be perfect dining for Bonfire Night.

Here are a few photos from the dining experience at Cosy Club Leicester.
