Visited February 2009
We found ourselves in Bishops Waltham and
decided to revisit Banks Bistro.
The surroundings are tasteful and simple,
attractive sludgy colours, comfortable chairs. The waitress was very
welcoming and she seemed to know many of the obviously regular customers.
They were busy! Not surprising
as they are doing such great offers...
Set Lunch served from
12:00-
We of course went for 3 courses! Our choices...........
|
|
|
|
|
Game terrine, plum chutney |
Cream of butternut squash soup |
Beef ragu with red wine & sage |
|
|
|
|
|
Wild mushroom crepe |
Liquorice ice cream |
Bread & butter pudding |
Everything was well presented, generous portions and very tasty, as usual I particularly enjoyed the puds! We were served very nice warm rolls with the starters and thought the vegetables that accompanied the beef ragu worth a mention as they looked so attractive. Little pudding shaped puréed carrots with leeks on the top and a similarly shaped potato cake.
We only had one glass of wine and one
coffee. Excellent value for money and

Well done Banks for beating the current trend of a downturn in business!
