The Battlefield Rest

Went in here on a Monday with my friend, and wow! I don’t know how I haven’t been in here yet! The place has such a lovely atmosphere, we were greeted by a very lovely man who showed us over to our table and got us drinks! The food spoke for itself, fantastic! I got the slow cooked beef cheek ragu and my friend opted for one of the Calzones. Both were fantastic! Desserts were wonderful, chocolate cake was fantastic! Although the Turkish delight ice cream wasn’t my favourite! But I only opted to try it because it was an option so not a complaint at all! The flavours they had available were amazing. I will certainly be returning here with the rest of the gang! Thanks for a lovely meal.

We popped into the "Rest" last week and were exceptionally surprised by the quality of the food. The restaurant seems to be situated on an "island" at the junction of a busy interchange (but is easy and safe to get to) . There is lots of seating outside for smokers and the décor inside is traditional for an Italian restaurant. Service was prompt and friendly . We chose from the special lunch menu and we had Bruschetta and Minestrone as our started both very tasty, for mains we had the lasagne and puttanesca both were amazing (best lasagne I have had) . Soft drinks seemed a little pricey BUT overall for the high quality of the food this is amazing value - we plan to come back again when we have more time and are back in this part of the city .

We had a table for 5 booked locally at another restaurant but when we arrived and were lamely told the head chef had SKIPped and they weren't serving anything that night we wandered along to the long established Battlefield Rest where the new managers couldn't do enough to accommodate us and make sure we were comfortable throughout what was a fabulous meal everyone of us enjoyed!! Thank you guys!! A great night and we will be back for sure:)

We all really enjoyed our visit to the Battlefield Rest, food, service and atmosphere were top notch, and the set menus had a good range of choices at a very reasonable price. They were also very accommodating to adjusting a dish to suit one of our party's dietary requests. This was the first time we'd been back in a few years and certainly weren't disappointed, and look forward to our next visit, which hopefully we won't wait so long to arrange. Would highly recommend.
