it has been a long time since we have experienced retaurant staff that wear ties and make us feel unwelcome in every way. the team here needs to loosen up and relax after all eating and drinking out is meant to me fun.

take the ties off and chill out - your in the wrong job go and work in a bank.

If you love art then the Gallery Restaurant is the right place to dine in. Since it was opened in November 2005 it has certainly earned a formidable reputation as fabulous dining retreat,snazzy night-club and an attractive choice of venue for celebrations:-like weddings,birthdays so on and so forth.

Other than relaxing in the elegant and ambient setting,you can linger and peruse the works of 30 or more artists which include many well-known names. The names on exhibit at the Gallery include artists like Michael Solomon,legendery photographer Cecil Beaton,Damien Hirst,Rob Carter,Nick Carter. The interior of the establishment showcases many original art-works from Britain's popular young talent.

The multitude of paintings on display depict a broad-range of techniques like:-Surrealism,Abstract,Expressionism,Pop-Art,Minimaland Conceptual Art.

The food was absolutely fabulous-preparedby the award winning chef Stephen Englefield. The menus are very innovative,regularly reviewed with an insistence on fresh ingredients. The Crab-on-Confit of Leek and Potato,followed by braised Cumbrian Lamb shoulder with a Champagne and Lamb sauce was just perfect.
