  • Bistro Menu - 3 for £20

    1 Jan 2025 - 31 Jan 2025
    Dine from our Bistro Menu for some lovely dishes at amazing value. 2 courses for £17 or 3 for £20. It’s available from 12 until 6:30 from Monday – Thursday and before 4pm on Fridays. We’ve worked hard with our chefs to strip things back and keep things really simple. It’s good, hearty, tasty stuff served to you by a team who love what they do. And sometimes you don’t need anything more than that. Our menu changes monthly and is subject to availability, please go to our website or check social media for updates.

    Absolutely brilliant Christmas dinner at Kala. Food was, as always, amazing. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. It's the first time we have eaten out for Christmas dinner but we loved the experience and it definitely won't be the last. Thank you to all the FOH staff and of course those working hard in the kitchen to deliver a superb meal.

    It was quite disappointing with the confit duck while the skin is supposed to be crispy and tender for the meat but turns out everything is tender and the sauce taste the same as the feather blade beef. The crème brûlée was fair. The service was outstanding, the staff who greeted us was very energetic and welcoming. The waitress who served us was friendly and polite. The overall experience was fair.

    Wonderful meal with my mum, fantastic choices on the set menu. Lovely to see the place full even if it did make it quite loud. The ladies who looked after us were wonderful and I’m sorry I didn’t get their names. Always my favourite place for a treat and already looking forward to coming back soon. X

    The five of us enjoyed a long lovely experience, with time to enjoy the conversation while eating and drinking excellent food and wine. The service was perfect, as in professional and efficient, but friendly at the same time. Sue, my wife and I have already booked again for early January.
