    This was a great location for a catch-up meal with friends between Christmas and New Year…read more There is a set menu but we were too late to eat from it. They also have a restaurant menu and a bar menu. I'm not sure if you're actually limited on where in the pub you can eat this, but I think it's nice when places have a pub grub menu and a bistro-style one, if they have a kitchen that can cope with it. I shared the seafood platter to start, which was really delicious. It had crayfish cocktail, mackerel pate, smoked salmon and langoustines. Plus bread of course. The friend I shared with and I both really rated this. Then to continue the fishy theme I had seabass fillet with garlic new potatoes, braised fennel, peas and lemon butter. So many delicious flavours in one dish, and the potatoes and fish were cooked perfectly. To finish I had the dark chocolate torte with Chantilly cream. This is a very rich dessert, but thankfully not too sweet. I struggled to finish it all, however with a glass of port on the side I just about managed it. I also shared a bottle of house white which was nice, perfectly drinkable and went well with my fish choices. Overall I'd definitely recommend if you're in the area.

I'm a vegetarian and so often feel like an 'afterthought' in pubs, with barely more than a vegetable or goat's cheese tart on offer. The Wellington Heifer veggie menu is wider and more creative. Definitely a favourite eating place for me.
