EXPERIENCE the bounty of Autumn Italian style as Twelve Restaurant & Lounge Bar embraces ‘la dolce vita’ to celebrate the opening of its very own corner shop. Twelve – which has an excellent reputation for modern British cooking – is turning Italian for the month of November with dishes inspired by a delicious range of pasta, oils, sauces, herbs and spices that are now available in the new Twelve Corner Shop.
Twelve will be showcasing some of the fantastic food available in their new foodie heaven sourced from a famous New York gourmet food specialist. Produce includes read-made sauces using fresh in-season Italian tomatoes, authentic egg-dried pastas, gleaming bottles of extra virgin olive oil and a delicious range of dressings using anchovies, lemons and basil.

He explained: “We want to celebrate this fantastic time of year by giving our menus a distinct Italian twist and showcase some of the fantastic foods that are now available at the new Twelve Corner Shop, located just yards from the restaurant. “Customers will be able to experiment with the very same ingredients at home, and make the most of some of the best quality food available in the North West.” Twelve’s Italian menu will include jewelled pumpkin risotto, pork roasted with balsamic vinegar, gnocchi with chestnut and Italian sausage, clam and mussel linguine, slow roasted Forest of Bowland veal, and celebrating the funghi season, wild mushroom risotto.
