About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Lot Bar & Restaurant has been, in one form or another, serving fresh food in the evenings since 2005. Our Head Chef, Aaron Hardy, has been with us from the start, creating menu staples such as King Prawn Linguine to innovative specials like roast haunch of venison. Lot Bar & Restaurant is a family run business. All our food is made on the premises from scratch, everything we serve has been made by us and cooked by us, and not simply opened from a packet and warmed up. We believe in using where possible, local produce from small businesses so that we can keep small independent companies like ourselves in business. In the evening we offer a tapas menu that has been designed to share with friends in Lot Bar & Restaurant over a few drinks. If you wish, you can book tables anytime of the day for breakfast, lunch, or an area in the evening.

    The food is really good, the staff are very polite and hard working. I've rated a 4 instead of a 5 as it looked as though they could have done with an extra waiter/waitress when we were there. Overall I would recommend and will be returning.

    Our table was booked for 8.15 pm on Saturday. We arrived at 8.25 pm to find previous diners were still seated and had only just ordered desserts. Waitress asked us to have a drink as the wait would only be about 10 minutes! We declined and went to another restaurant. We were able to confirm that those diners were still seated at 9.20pm! Not good enough, the management need to get their booking arrangements sorted before we will consider another visit. We live in the village, we are very disappointed!
