Braised and roasted Pennine venison comes with slow-cooked faggot, baby turnips and mulled pears and there is a good selection of 32-day-aged steaks and a great choice of artisan northern cheeses that are served with homemade chutney. The wine list offers options from across the globe and champagnes ranging from £50 to £800. The Exchange is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week and also does a special Sunday Roast.
