This is a great Bar and Restaurant with atmosphere and contemporary surroundings, but if you are hard of hearing don't go on a Friday night!  We did and had a great evening, the place was very busy but with efficient and friendly staff so we were not kept waiting. We ate in the restaurant but there is also a bar area, where smoking is allowed, and an ample size terrace for al fresco dining.
 
The food is a mixture of British and Continental made from fresh ingredients with several choices for vegetarians.  There is a daily specials printed menu which is presented along with the dinner menu.  We ate the following - Starters, 2 Oriental Duck Spring Rolls, cucumber salad and Hoi Sin Sauce from the specials menu £5.95.  Cod & pecorino fishcake, cos salad, lemon mayo £5.50 and lastly Penne, chilli, tomato, marinated vegetables, mozzarella and mint £5.25.  All dishes served on very unusual and attractive china.

 

Our main courses were Roast Cod in pancetta, fried champ - mash and spring onions mix - pea and mint roast garlic pesto £12.00.  Cajun Chicken, roasted pepper salad, sauté potatoes and mint yogurt dressing £10.95.  Tiger prawn & scallop skewers, Cajun potato & spring onion salad, lemon and red chard £14.00. Lastly, Salad of pan fried calves liver, sauté potatoes, bacon, red onion, mustard mayo £12.95.
 
We were all too full for puddings but there was a good choice starting at £5.25.  We shared a cheese platter @ £6.95, plenty for 4, good choice of cheeses.  Good comments from my friends who all said they would return, and as the cost included tip, 2 bottles of wine, 4 Tanquery G&T's, plus coffees we were impressed & recommend a visit!
