Corkage - Tomato confit, ham hock terrine

Corkage

(4 reviews)

Walking in here was an absolute delight! It was right around the corner from our accommodation in…read moreBath and they were very hospitable on my walk-in, despite my lacking a reservation or any plan on what I wanted to try. They set me up with a tasting of various English wines and I was pleasantly surprised! The staff was quite knowledgeable about local wines and expanded my horizons on English winemaking! Nice crowd here too. A day later I returned with my wife just around their closing time and while they had indeed closed up for the night - the staff was having their end-of-week toasts - they STILL very hospitable allowed us to sit and enjoy a glass or 2, rather than simply asking us to leave. The place is a gem and I hope to be back!!

Ok, 5...I have to give it a frickin' 5! This place is a cute, well thought out spot in Bath,…read moreEngland. We found Corkage quite by accident but what a happy accident! Wine list was extensive and fair, from inexpensive & really good to pricey and awesome. Generally, I think there was something for everybody on the wine list. Since this restaurant has mostly tapas style foods, we had multiple small dishes which were shared. I would highly recommend this approach as no one visitor/tourist could taste everything. We got close! Small plates: Snails and marrow Croquettes with andouille sausage Red mullet & anchovies Tomato and salad / with lots of seeds Risotto Cabbage - I couldn't do this one justice Dessert: Elderflower Pannacotte Berry mess All with a nice bottle of wine...or 2! We spent a wonderful evening with good conversation between ourselves and then with neighboring diners. The staff was very friendly and helpful in selections. The food was well prepared, quickly brought out in a proper order. Our young waitress was surprisingly knowledgeable about the wine. Don't miss this hidden gem!

Cosies Wine Bar has a few different faces. It's located in stateley Portland Square, and during the…read moreday it maintains a quite respectable face. At this time it pulls in office workers and other up-standing member of society sorts. They have a good lunch menu, and the place could pass as a reasonably high end restaurant. Things degenerate (or improve, depending on your point of view) as night draws in. Cosies is also a night club and dubstep, afrobeat, and hip-hop nights, along with various others. Very cool in the evenings, this is about a million miles from Syndicate et al. not so far away in the centre. The different between the its night and day time faces is quite a contrast and makes Cosies worth two visits. Down in a basement, it has a cosy feel to match its name. The best time to vist in the day time is when its a bit cold and damp. During the evening just make sure to get there early to avoid disappointment.

There seem to be a few places around Bristol that have a bit of a cavey feeling, due to their…read morebasement locations. Cosies is another place to the trend, situated in the basement of one of the grand Georgian houses in St Pauls' Portland Square. It's open all day and night, catering to the office workers of the square in the daytime, and turning into one of Bristol's in-the-know clubs as night falls. Some of the best djs can be found playing here, spanning genres from Dub and Reggae to Drum'n'Bass and hip hop. The seats outside, carved out beneath the pavement, are maybe where the place gets its name from, as there's a really great 'cosy' atmosphere in one of those seating hubs. As a result, it makes for quite a smokers paradise, and there's definitely a hint of a few blind eyes being turned. Walking past in the day there's always a board offering some sort of exotic food (always below a fiver, so good value), proving a real temptation to descend the rickety stairs mid-afternoon. Also, there's late evening grub on offer to help the pints go down, the last time I was there goat curry was being sold around 11. You might have to pay a few pounds to get in on a weekend, but I'd safely guarantee you'll have a night worth remembering.

We had been recommended this place by folks in Woodstock Vermont USA, where we run an award winning…read morehospitality business. We used to live in Dorset and the fact that a recommendation travelled 4000 miles is impressive...but could the place deliver on a damp grey November Thursday? 13.00 struck on the town clock and in we walk to the quiet cafe bar area, to be met by some delightful staff and seated quickly, after a drink in the rather fetching contemporary bar area. Now this place is not just another seaside cafe...oh no...it's a cut above that. The art on the wall has whimsey, and the large arm chairs would be more often seen in an urban Starbucks setting. The restaurant windows all over look the bay and even on a grey November day there was atmosphere, simple jazz influenced music playing at just the the right level to create ambiance and not kill it. The location on the sea front, is a short sea shell throw away from the new beach, you do indeed have lots of sand in Lyme these days! The sea front had a make over in 2012 and now even has a very smart National Trust shop and was a real surprise. We had taken two local friends and we all ordered, fish chips with mushy peas for some, fresh mussels in a wonderful cream sauce for others and tempura battered vegetables. To drink we had Fentimans ginger beer, Guinness and water. All got 10/10. The bill 80 quid for six was very good value, and we left with a wonderful glow, to go to the gallery in the town and buy a small piece of Garry Jones art . He has an art piece on the restaurant wall....a car door...yes an actual car door with a fantastic ceramic dog leaning out of it! Priceless humour that cannot fail to make one smile. This place is a real find and a cut above the average seaside eatery.

This was the discovery of our holiday. We had avoided all week because it looks from the ouside…read morelike it's going to be a bit down market situated as it is amongst the chip shops and amusement arcade. It looks very modern and loud. It was shear luck that we ended up here as we could not get a table at our first choice restaurant. It was really good. Lovely food and excellent entertainment with a very accomlished jazz duo. The atmoshere was brilliant even though it was not full that night. Highly recommended.
