    A really diverse lunch menu with some Asian inspired flavours. The plates are well presented and very tasty. For the quality offered, the pricing for a 3-course meal is very reasonable. The staff is welcoming and attentive.

    We enjoyed our time at Contrast although the meal in my opinion wasn’t quite as good as we expected. I ordered fish and chips and was disappointed that the fish had a barbecue sauce dribbled over it, there were no peas and the chips were overcooked dross. A shame as the rest of the experience was very pleasant.

    Attentive service from start to finish on what was a busy night with a couple of bigger parties of diners. Lovely menu selection. The meal was just delicious. Both starters and mains were quality, tasty food, beautifully presented, and just that bit different from the norm. Amazing job from the kitchen on a busy night. We did not have dessert, but had coffees and liqueurs in the Piano Bar lounge, where again the service was good, and friendly. We sat at window table with lovely view of the Christmas lights on the river. Highly recommend this restaurant for a special meal. It was our wedding anniversary and we had such a lovely evening.
