We will be back here.

We ate in the Bistro on a quiet Sunday evening in June and had a pleasant but average supper…read more The menu at Greens offers something for everyone with a wide ranging menu (the cooking possibly suffers from having such a extensive offering). We decided that our chances of having a tasty supper would be increased by keeping it local so we went with the fish dishes. Our starters were fine if unexceptional. The salt and pepper squid was well cooked and nicely presented. The salmon pâté could have done with a little longer out of the fridge to make the most of the smokey flavour and the texture of the fish. As with all of the dishes we tried there was a one size fits all to garnishing the dishes and we were quite fed up with cress by the end of our meal - it's really not necessary if it doesn't add anything to the flavour or some pleasure to the eye. I had the fish pie for my main course which looked good, had a decent filling and came with a nice salad on the side. This was a tasty pie and a dish I would recommend. B had the local "special" of turbot fillets which came with roasted tomatoes, asparagus, salsa verde and new potatoes. It looked quite pretty on the plate and the individual components were tasty enough but it lacked something to pull it together as a coherent whole. I was stuffed by now but B managed to fit in a portion of the ginger parkin which came with toffee ice cream and a serving of sauce on the side. This was her favourite dish of the meal which tells some kind of story as she is not normally a dessert girl. The cheese selection looked very good with some interesting local selections. The wine list is quite small with some decent bottles and is reasonably priced. We had the Boco do Monte from Galitia which was a lovely wine and was drinking very well at £25. A word of warning about your table choice in the bistro. The three tables at the back are very near the kitchen and the "pass".

We were all starving and had to wait maybe only 15 minutes for a table, and the wait was certainly worth it. The menu is limited, as they only serve meat pies (with two veggie pie options- one vegan and one vegetarian). Your pie comes with mashed potato and either peas or mashed peas. The pies are quite large and they're so delectable. Best meat pies we had on the trip. The portions of potatoes and peas are generous, too. What really brings the experience to the next level, though, are the dishes the pies are served in and the music playing in the background. It creates an "old timey" experience that is the perfect touch. I will be dreaming of those pies, and would highly recommend that anyone in the area go here. It's a MUST.

And I did moan. The luciously rich duck danced a fruity sexual tango with the cherry and Marsala sauce on my tongue. And I did groan. The perfectly ripe raspberries dissolved into a piquant jam atop the quivering chocolate cheescake and smeared my palate with pupil engorging delight. And I did very nearly re-enact that scene from When Harry Met Sally. May I also point out that at this point the rather loosely fitted dress I was wearing slipped off both my shoulders and fully exposed the entirety of my chest. And I did not care.

Your table is yours for the evening, which means you don't feel at all rushed. The restaurant has a relaxed and opulent feel to it, with all tables having ample space between them. There is a well-stocked bar and an impressive range of wine on offer too. The menu is seasonal and is a set price for two or three courses (£25 and £30 respectively). No extras, your vegetables and sides are all included. The menu is not vast but has a good range of dishes to suit all palettes. Complimentary fresh bread with salted butter and home-made houmous was a nice start to the meal. We opted for the main/dessert option, so which one of the tempting main courses do you go for? The choices were beef, belly pork, pan-fried gnocchi, a shallot tartin and the two we eventually plumped for the fish of the day and the chicken thigh in a truffle cream sauce. Both dishes were outstanding, so full of flavour, the Coley was beautifully cooked, with a crisp skin on a fricassee of peas, broad beans and prawns, with pea mayonnaise and fabulously crispy chips; every mouthful was an absolute marvel! My wife had the equally impressive, chicken thigh with a crispy skin, dauphinoise potatoes, salted celeriac and strips of apple in a rich creamy truffle sauce. All accompanied with side orders of new potatoes, carrots, swede, as well as broccoli and mange tout with toasted pine nuts. The best two main courses we have had for a long time! The local Black Sheep Ale was a perfect accompaniment to the dish too, earthy and sweet. The desserts were a choice of four, but one stood out over all the others, a dark chocolate parfait, dusted with honeycomb and a nut praline, accompanied by a refreshingly strong passion fruit ice cream on a crushed biscuit base. Too often, after a stunning main course, desserts fade quickly from the memory. However, this was as impressive as the mains; all the flavours complimented each other perfectly, to give a wonderful end to a fantastic meal. Would we come again? In a heartbeat! Outstanding food in classy surroundings, great service and the sultry sounds of Lana Del Rey punctuating the air, it doesn't get much better.

Thankfully we happened on Cosa Nostra, a large multilevelled Italian restaurant on Church Street and they had a table free! Shown to the upper levels of the restaurant, it was a good place to relax away from the hustle and bustle on a busy May evening. The menu had a decent variety of traditional and more unusual dishes from pizza to pasta, fish dishes to calzone. Not feeling at our most ravenous, we opted for two standard dishes, linguini carbonara and linguini ragu, washed down with a pint of draught Peroni, accompanied by some garlic bread. When the dishes arrived, wow, the portions are enormous at this place! Two large bowls of pasta and a generous pizza sized portion of thin crust garlic bread. The carbonara was spot on, the creaminess of the sauce contrasted perfectly with the saltiness of the bacon, the garlic bread heavy on the garlic, as it should be and the ragu full of earthy tomato flavours. Gamely though we tried, we couldn't finish any of the components, as we both were just recovering from a cold. The head waiter was so concerned with our lack of progress, he offered to pack us up a doggy bag! Reassuring him the food was spot on, we vowed to return when our appetites renewed.
