A place that feels like home.. I don't mean that in a sense that the place is covered in dog hair, the tv is blaring, the kids are screaming and there's lego all over the floor; more in a sense that you feel welcomed, content and at home from the minute you enter, right up until you leave. We wanted to create a place, that I myself, would want to visit on a regular basis. A place where your name is more important to us than your money is. A place where you feel like a regular from your first visit. A place where you feel like a part of our family. A place you felt you've been before. A place that feels like home.... Ok, so we have fancy wine glasses, twinkling candles, nice chairs and really shiny cutlery, but don't let that fool you... We're humble, both in our service and in our food, and pretentiousness and oversized egos were banished from the premises the day we started trading. We like looking the part, but life's too short for airs and graces...

    We had a lovely time at The Kitchen, service was excellent, friendly and quick. There were six of us and we all ordered something different, everything was so good. It was great to have gluten free options that were as delicious as other things on the menu and not just a salad.

    Chose daily special of confit duck pasta. Tasty and generous serve but cream sauce too runny. Partner had mussels which were delicious though very salty. Desserts large portions. Young waiters were kind and efficient.

    Understand why their reputation for curries exist now. Chicken korma was excellent.
