A simple starting point
Nepalese food here means warming dishes, good sharing plates, and a menu that is simple to try in a pub setting.
At The Old School House, Nepalese food is not treated like a separate concept hidden at the back of the menu. It is part of what makes the pub memorable once you are already settled in.
Why it suits this venue
The best part is that you do not need to choose between a proper pub and more interesting food.
Some tables want familiar pub favourites. Others want to try something they would not usually order. The Old School House works because both can happen in the same visit.
Book ahead
If the food sounds like your kind of table, the next step is seeing the kitchen in context.
That usually makes the first order, and the booking itself, much easier to picture.
Busier evenings and Sundays are easiest to plan when you book ahead. Prefer to speak first? Give the pub a ring.
Food guide FAQs
A few quick answers if you are still deciding where to start.
The aim is to make the food more approachable, not to turn the menu into a lesson.
Start with momo. It is one of the simplest first orders on the menu and a natural way into the rest of the kitchen.
Next step
Move from the guide into the dishes themselves.
The best next move is to look at the Nepalese kitchen, then use the full menu to decide what the table would actually order.
