Food And Restaurants

Are you looking for somewhere special to go this weekend? Do you want to try something new? Check
out one of these hot new restaurants.

Last Days of the Raj

A centrally located Indian restaurant, perfect for eating before or after the cinema or a show. In summer
enjoy your meal in the beautiful garden. The most popular dishes are lamb and chicken cooked with
mild, medium or hot spices. For brave customers there is extra hot!

A Taste of Tuscany

Whether you’d like a great value-for-money lunch or a relaxed evening meal in stylish surroundings, this
is the place for you. The chefs have all been trained in Italy and they make both traditional and
contemporary dishes. We recommend the pasta and seafood.

Your Local Caff

Remember when cafés served full English breakfasts – sausages, beans, fried bread, bacon and eggs –
with a strong cup of tea? Well, this place still does and you can have your breakfast at any time you like
during the day while you listen to your favourite tunes from the 1980s.

The Lemon Tree

This pretty restaurant serves healthy food that’s tasty too. Come in for a vegetarian snack at lunchtime or
a great fruit smoothie or a cappuccino and a delicious piece of cake in the afternoon. Food is bought
from local producers whenever possible.

Cheesy Bites

A restaurant that only serves cheese, but hundreds of cheeses from many countries and in lots of
different forms. They serve reasonably priced lunches but dinner can be expensive. Lovely food and a
very elegant dining room, looking onto an amazing flower garden.

Fast Best
Fast food doesn’t have to be junk food, as this café proves. Do you fancy a really good hamburger made
with the best ingredients, or old-fashioned fish and chips fried to perfection, all on the table in super-
quick time? Speed and quality are important here, and the prices aren’t bad either.

The Chocolate Box

The owner of this small café used to cook all kinds of food, but then she realised she preferred desserts
to anything else. If you want meat or fish, don’t come here. They only do desserts! Lots of different kinds
of sweets. Chocolate lovers will be excited by the range of chocolate cakes.

Musical Chairs

Have you noticed how music improves the taste of your food? This new restaurant has different types of
live music every night except Sundays, and excellent food to go with it. Great fish dishes, steak and pizza.
Monday is classic rock night, so see you there!
