A few years ago I added up all the time I had spent in Greece. It came to over a year and throughout my many visits I've eaten in many restaurants and tavernas. I've had some magnificent traditional meals from the humble kitchens in tiny villages to top end 'city' restaurants. I love Greek food. The Kitchen isn't like that. There isn't any Greek music and no sign of Zorba. There isn't Moussaka. What there is a fresh, young and vibrant attitude to Greek food. And I loved it! All the flavours that Greek cooks manage to cram into those traditional dishes are lifted into modern contemporary dishes that I believe reflect the new approach to serving Greek food. My wife and I had 4 starters (well how can you choose just 1?) and two mains that were excellent. The Lamb Baklava starter was a taste of heaven and a stand out dish amongst a very high quality field and it was closely followed by the pigs cheek main that was so rich but well balanced with the accompanying pomegranate salad. My wife had the excellent chicken souvlaki that would have fed both of us! The service was every bit as good as the food. We had concerns about our meal clashing with a major football match but we were reassured that it would be a 'sport free' zone. And it was. The ambience was very good although the circumstance of the football may have made things a little quieter than normal but nevertheless the feeling in the restaurant is one of happiness. Everyone smiled and was very pleasant and ready to answer the many questions we had about the restaurant. We got a guided tour and saw the recently opened 'garden' area with its rustic fell that is bang on trend with the 'best' places in Greece. I'd like to thank all the staff at the Kitchen for a wonderful experience and thank the management for their vision and commitment in opening - and making a success of - this lovely quaint eatery. Epharisto Poli! We will return sooner rather than later.

Nipped into Westhoughton this afternoon for a quick late lunch expecting a run of the mill sandwich in Wetherspoons or such like. Saw The Kitchen and popped in, what an absolute gem we've found! The food is DELICIOUS, so much so, I've booked to come back on an evening to try that fabulous menu out. The friendly young people in this little restaurant are so deserving of the fantastic reviews on here, give it a visit, you wont be disappointed, my new favourite place!
