Word to the wise - if you want tahini, order it as an extra, you can't order it with a kebab, online at least. Edit As thanks for a review I left yesterday bemoaning separate delivery (so no soggy bread) and no tahini, they gave me a free kebab ready wrapped with a load of tahini on it. This place is truly exceptional, and has a customer for life in this house.

If you want to try a decent british meal, then go there. the price is not usually cheap but it is worth the money. You will need to book it for dinner cos it tend to be fully booked very often. The lunch menu is not even close to the dinner one, so dont recommend.

When the weather is nice, they have a lovely outdoor garden for dining al fresco! We ordered from the set lunch menu, as well from the 2-for-1 cocktail menu. My mother-in-law and I ordered the Pornstar Martini which has passion fruit in it -- it's even topped with half a passion fruit! My MIL knew I'd like the drink (I absolutely love passion fruit), so we decided to get it, but when I saw it was made with orange juice, which I don't like, the bartender was nice enough to offer to make it with pineapple juice! Delightful! The food here is really nice. They have a limited set lunch menu but they offer a wider range of options a la carte or for their dinner menu. Our table shared our appetizers which were delicious. I especially loved the calamari which had just the right amount of crunch! The goat cheese was really nice too, as well as the pate. For my main, I ordered the home made fish cakes which were really tasty, and quite large. I took one home for lunch the next day! My toddler loved the chips (fries)! I liked them too, but he liked him so much I barely had any. #momlife I'm fan of this local restaurant and I'm sure we'll come again on a future visit to my inlaws. :)

This review is for the upstairs restaurant area - and sadly it is not a good one. One Saturday…read morelunchtime, I popped in for a light lunch. Nothing complicated - in the end, I ordered a Greek salad and a plate of Serrano ham rather than the pricier mains on the blackboards. I'm not sure how two really basic things could be so disappointing. I think it's because on the surface, this looks like a place that prides itself on sourcing and attention to detail. On the specials during my visit were such items as hand foraged local samphire, Cumbrian lamb and Pink's award winning sausages. So why was the Greek salad about 50% raw onion? Why did it feature those mealy crunchy supermarket basics tomatoes, cold from the fridge? Even the black olives mentioned on the menu were green. And they clearly did have black olives in the kitchen, because my four slices of Serrano ham (almost £6) came topped with a single olive. They boasted it was "20 month aged" - most of it had clearly been in their fridge, as it featured a faint tang of refrigerator and managed to be unpleasantly rubbery. Not sure how Serrano ham can even go rubbery but there you go. If you've boasting of excellent ingredients then it's unacceptable for the basics to fail so badly. I wouldn't bother returning.

The Mezze is a Mediterranean/Turkish eatery, inside the atmosphere is warm and inviting and the staff are brilliant, nothing is ever too much trouble. The standard of the food is exceptional, I have eaten here probably more than thirty times, sometimes with large parties of people and I have never been disappointed. They do a selection of Mezzes here but I prefer to eat from the main menu as the dishes are so delicious, some of my favorites are cherkez tavuk, lamb elbasan tava, sultans chicken, and the coban salad is yum also. All starters come with a delicious bread which they make fresh every day called pie bread, honestly my friends and I fantasize about this bread its so good! All the meals are made from fresh ingredients and there is a massive selection. I strongly recommend this place and once you have been, I guarantee you will go back!

Parked…read morenicely in the Dee Estuary with panoramic views of the welsh mountains and the sea, there is some spectacular scenery to be gawked at. It really is a fantastic location. Thankfully the food is just as spectacular as the views they offer made of course from fresh local produce, so I've been told. Have you noticed this has become a bit of a given for alot of the restaurants? It almost seems as if they are repeating it parrot fashion to sound more green. Cynical thoughts aside their pan roasted loin of cod with tarragon and sesame seed crust is simply delightful. There is Mediterranean flair in the air you will notice with Mediterranean seafood featuring as well as antipasti sharing platters. The menu has a Cheshire / Mediterranean mixture which is nice and reflects the owners state of mind perhaps. The summer Sunday barbecue menu however is Sheldrake's crown jewel. At £17 per head and 3 courses awaiting you, there best be some room in them tumtums I tell thee. The options are all equally appealing and for the first time ever in any of my reviews each one of them deserves a special mention. We start off the precedings with 8 oz Cheshire rib eye steak marinated in a chef made barbecue sauce, for all of you who don'like change. For the likes of me who love bit of spice in our lives there is the garlic and mint marinated Welsh lamb rump kebab served with tzatziki dip, yowza!!! For the ladies perhaps the Chargrilled corn fed poussin with garlic and tarragon butter might tickle your fancy. Last but by no means least the vegans amongst us will be more than content with the rumptuous Thai marinated Halloumi kebab. Seriously how can you go wrong? Magnificent innings indeed. Throw into the mix a wide variety of tapas on offer and hey presto you have a Sunday barbecue you will not forget.

A mini review (if you will) of this new hidden gem of a restaurant that quietly opened its doors…read morenot so long ago. Ti Amo might make you think it's an Italian restaurant but it's not really? Firstly there's a Tapas menu and a Turkish influence on the food (Turkish owner I was told) but the head Chef is Portugese? So I imagine some Portugese flavours seep into the mix at some stage. As we enter into the 16th year of the 21st century I presume innovation in foodie collaborations will lead to more places like this. Onto the food.. The tapas menu is nothing short of fantastic. The breads are baked fresh onsite and are delicious. The Filetitos (strips of lamb fillet I think?), Pan seared Scallops with clams and the Gamberoni Pilpil (prawns) are sensational choices from the tapas menu. I for one cannot wait to rattle out a full blown review upon my return when I'll no doubt goorge on the Beef Stroganoff which I hear is divine. So watch this space...
