There's a new kid in town, as the saying goes, a welcome addition to the standard fare that seems to welcome only a few newcomers (the arrival last year of Bush Whackers was somewhat of the last solo entrant). And no worries to those of you wanting just a traditional meal for a decent price. How's this, a lightly battered piece of hake that will best most any of the fish and chips you've tried elsewhere. Or a barbeque ribs special topped with two king prawns as a Thursday night special for just £12. Throw in a few bits of creative Spanish flair and you've got quite the variety to choose from. Might I recommend the mussels? Chef Maciej, down from London, has partnered with Lee and another chef from Chicago to pacify most any taste, and brought the drinks and service to match. Sure, have your steak & kidney suet pie at the Red Lion (delicious and the oldest such establishment in the town); but when you just want a break of the traditional, maybe something to go with that cheesecake drizzled with passion fruit coulis and accompanied with a freshly made mango sorbet, then stop by...but hurry, they close in mid-December and won't reopen until the end of March (he's off to cook in Switzerland during the slow winter season). Check out their menu on the website; he is always experimenting and now with miso and other umami flavors...average half order £7 and average meal £14.

Staff were so attentive and knowledgeable about their products: the cocktails were amazing, and the drinks menu was inventive and unique. AJ on the bar catered to our every need and happily made us custom cocktails too without us feeling like we were being a hassle. I'd really recommend to anyone looking for a few chilled drinks with friends, or some cocktails before they venture into town.
