We walked past this place while exploring the local area and decided to pay a visit - I would recommend booking as they're quite popular. They have an early bird offer Tue-Thur and up to 7:15pm Fri and Sat for only £15.95 for 2 courses or £19.95 for 3 courses. The food flavours were a nice difference from all the other modern European restaurants and fish and chips on offer. The menu explains that their chef is from Louisiana and so their menu is influenced by creole/Cajun/Caribbean/Mexican flavours. The restaurant looks small but they also have additional seating upstairs.
As we were determined not to get too full this time so that we could sample some dessert this evening, we shared a starter of Cajun Crab Cakes with celeriac remoulade (like a nicer coleslaw). The crab cakes were lightly breadcrumbed and were small but quite heavy so the remoulade really complemented it, making the dish less stodgy. We were glad we shared a starter because we were also offered freshly baked bread rolls. For mains we went for the Cajun Lamb Rump and the Jerk Chicken and King Prawns. The lamb was also served with a little lamb samosa, maple charred lettuce an carrot puree which really brought the dish together. The lamb was served pink and the cajun spices were not overpowering. The chicken was moist and perfectly charred with a jerk and pineapple BBQ sauce that had a bit of a juicy kick to it! The prawns were sweet and the whole dish was just so delicious! We were full but decided to share a custard cream cheesecake which was light and not overly sweet so it was the perfect amount of fullness.
I hope that now there's a Yelp review, more people go to support Phil and Lucy's great little restaurant. read more
