Time Out says   Rate it

Posted: Jul 9 2010

Diners will need to book well ahead for Fergus Henderson's pioneering British restaurant, but you don't need reservations for the spacious adjoining bar: show up in the evening and you should be able to snag a table, offering a more casual opportunity to sample the kitchen's singular style.

As in the restaurant, the decor in the high-ceilinged space (a former smokehouse) is stark and straightforward: white walls, wooden furniture - and that's more or less it. Dispensed by ever-friendly staff, drinks include an excellent list of wines by the glass,
a couple of ales (Wadworth 6X and Black Sheep Ale, perhaps) and brews from Meantime.

You don't have to eat here, but the excellence of the food, from doorstep ham sandwiches and chunky Welsh rarebit to the signature eccles cake with Lancashire cheese, means you'd be foolish not to.
