Fantastic Saturday lunch at The Reliance 🍸
1) Ambiance (0.75/1) - Spacious, large group friendly, welcoming and really cozy. They have quite a few different sections for seating and the couch seats are just so comfy!
2) Food (1/1) - We were 2 of us and while my friend had Fish and chips with some Pineapple juice ; I had their Salami sandwich in Ciabbata with Pesto mayonnaise tomatoes and some rockets🥙
Soft fish, crunchy batter, seasoned chips, fresh bread and meat with a lovely sauce and apple cider What a nice lunch that was! By the time we finished our lunch, they had run out of their Rhubarb mille-fuille so will ned to go back for that 🙊
3) Service (0.75/1) - Very friendly. Though it took a while for the food to arrive, it was worth the wait :)
4) Innovation and techniques (0.75/1) - I've been here before with my lab mates and have noticed that they update their menu quite often keeping the food exciting for customers. Their food looks fresh and appealing and the efforts are clear on the plate served to you!
5) VFM (0.75/1) - The sandwich was nearly £6 and the fish and chips were nearly £11. The cider was another £5. A decent meal with cozy ambiance and good service - I would call that a good deal :) Overall - 4/5 Do visit reliance if you are looking for some interesting Pub food 🥂
Great uncomplicated British food. Though, they serve pheasant, so it's not "pub food".

What makes it unique: Upmarket British food
If you keep walking up past Sela and North Bar, past the Grand Theatre and across the road with Mojo’s on it, the one where the Chinese supermarket used to be back in the day, you get to a fairly intimidating slip road, a lot of hurtling traffic and a fair amount of climate-changing fug. If you make it across the road alive, you’ll end up on North Street, or ‘the’ North Street as some wag of a vandal has renamed it, and eventually, you’ll get to The Reliance.
