The Engine Room

Came here for our team Christmas lunch and have to say it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while! I ordered the crayfish salad to start (crayfish tasted a bit powdery as if it had been frozen but the salad itself has delightful flavours) followed by the lamb with quinoa and tzatziki main special (so delicious, cooked well with lovely garlicky tzatziki. Quinoa was a bit random but nice) as well as the cauliflower cheese side and fries (truly excellent fries, so nice and crispy). For dessert I ordered the chocolate ciobollini and this was really cool! Came out in cappuccino mug and looked exactly like a cappuccino! Had delicious layers of chocolate mousse (?)) with biscuit, nuts and soft meringue (?) - not entirely sure but it was absolutely amazing Staff were attentive and helpful. An absolutely stand out meal.

Amazing food as always, I had the goats cheese souffle as I always do and it consistently impresses me. It tasted a bit different this time, but still just as good. I had the venison which was a special, though I would love to see it on the permanent menu as it was truly amazing, it would be my go to main if it were not on the specials menu. 10/10 go here quite often now and it never disappoints.

Our food was exquisite. The beef cheek special was next level. They do a simple, solid menu at the Engine Room but it's done really well. Must make a special mention to the wait staff, the lady who served us was absolutely brilliant, that perfect mix of professional but with enough fun to make it feel cool and special.

Finally made it to The Engine Room..it was a busy Saturday evening and we were seated near the kitchen end where we could see the kitchen staff prepping the food.Staff are very polite and attentive.The chalboard has the food menues listed so everything has to be read off the board.We ordered Fish crudo and smaoked snapper and goats cheese ravioli which was scrumptious. Mains were the Snapper and lamb, both fishes were full of flavours and plated beautifully. We decided to try the quince crumbles with vanilla ice cream to fisnish of with a dessert wine.Wonderful ambiance .Minor issue was finding parking on a busy Saturday evening but apart from that everything was wonderful. Worth a visit for all foodies..

Beautiful ambience, exceptional cuisine and staff that take the trouble to explain the menu to you. Tried almost everything on the starters and main menu. My favourites on the starters were the Whitebait Fritters, Oysters, Chicken Liver Parfait & the Crayfish Salad. In Mains, nothing compares to the Venison Steak, Beef Cheek & Steak Frites ‘Hereford Scotch’ and the fresh line caught fish. And finally in desserts, a must try is the Coconut Tapioca, the Churros and Profiteroles. In short, this place is simply amazing and 5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Funny enough, I was thinking that this was going to be a fine dining restaurant and our friend joining us said it's more like a bistro, and sure enough, it's listed as a bistro on here In that respect, it gets a bit loud inside for sure, but it's very nice overall with a delectable menu and pleasant service that is good for couples to small groups. To name my favourites of the night, the rhubarb cocktail was surprisingly addicting, tagliatelle entree with truffle shavings was a great start, and the beef cheek special melted in your mouth whilst the venison was good to have once in a blue moon. The pear crumble dessert was a nice finish. However, now that I'm thinking about the menu, how people are supposed to read the chalk board menu when seated to the side or behind it?
