Punch to open 17th Flaming Grill

Punch Taverns is spending nearly £250,000 turning the Nosey Parker in Lincoln into a Flaming Grill — the concept that focuses on grilled/barbecue food.

Re-opening on 17 June, it will add to Punch's current estate of 16 Flaming Grills, with a Wild West-themed night on 25 June.

General manager of the Nosey Parker, Julie Andrews, said: "We are so excited to be re-opening as a Flaming Grill and the new barbecue-inspired menu will be fantastic.

"We will still be a community local, but bring to our guests, both old and new, a sense of theatre on a plate with our sizzling skillets.

"The launch weekend is going to be a wild and fun day of activity where everyone can get involved and let their hair down."

Menus at the Flaming Grills include flaming chicken tikka served with sizzling onions and peppers, rice, tikka sauce and mini-poppadoms; and sweet chilli salmon served on sizzling onions and peppers with sweet chilli sauce, rice and prawn crackers.

There will also be pub classics such as steak & ale pie, and grilled gammon and egg, served with sizzling onions, chips and peas.
