Inspector comments
"Quality food in an old bank."
Overview
This handsome Victorian former bank building just off the main shopping area is now a cool bar and first-floor restaurant filled with light and vibrant artwork. Bare tables, banquettes and wood floors fit the smart-casual mood, and the seasonal modern British menu is packed with up-to-date ideas.
