    Another place which does great beer on Burton Road! Huzzah!…read more I've been to Volta a couple of times now, once to check it out and have a drink, and once for a meal with the in-laws. They have a wide range of ales - three on cask (I believe) and a number of keg offerings, from continental lager to lovely hoppy pales. The decor is relaxed, vintage and classic, reminding me of a small underground continental bar. Their food menu is wonderful, lots of various nibbles/'small plates' and cheese boards to share. A special mention has to go to their pork belly, which was absolutely divine, and perfect to share so it doesn't become too overwhelming. The star of the show for me, though, was the hanger steak, which I had cooked rare. Insanely flavoursome and tender, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this was the best steak I've tried so far. My partner was a bit less impressed with his dexter steak, and both he and the father-in-law said that they wanted to come back again so they could get the hanger steak themselves. The staff are attentive, personable, and very knowledgeable about what they're serving. There's no reason for me not to give it full marks, so well done Volta! I think it's a marvellous addition to Burton Road, and judging by how busy it seems to be all the time, so do my neighbours.

    The first time I tried to eat at Volta it was too busy to get a table but the staff ignored me for…read moreages, so didn't realise and had chosen half the menu, which looked great. I was therefore keen to go back but this time the changed menu wasn't nearly so packed with choices and we struggled a bit to select enough between the two of us. The padron peppers were nice, nice to see those outside Madrid. The chorizo was just fried chorizo. The monkfish goujons were quite good but the prawns my friend disliked and distrusted because of their fishy smell - I also didn't think they were that great. We loved the halloumi and fig though, and sweet potato fries were good although in a foodie place like this I would have expected maybe a more interesting dip. The lamb shawarma came with a super spicy harissa - always pleasing when heat is not compromised, but ultimately I think I could get as good in any Middle Eastern restaurant. It was a very sunny evening and the windows were wide open which would have been great to sit beside had it not been for the terrace full of people smoking right beside the window - unfortunately that gives me a headache after a while so I would advise to sit at the rear of the restaurant if it's a warm day if you have the same problem. Which is too bad as it effectively deprives you of the best window/terrace seats in favour of people who don't even have working taste buds. Cocktails I thought were lacklustre and expensive relative to the quality/price ratio of NQ offerings. We had a nice bottle of prosecco. I'd go back if the menu changes back to something I find more appealing, otherwise I wouldn't pay that much again for a fairly average dinner.
