MINK & TROUT

BEST FOR A weeknight meal with substance or a lazy weekend brunch. FOOD Tapas are popular here, and the list features arancini with mushrooms and cauliflower; crumbed pork and grilled calamari with a tonkatsu sauce; ham hock terrine with a kohlrabi-and-apple remoulade; and whitebait with dill-and-lemon mayo. Mains include grilled fish with corn-and-bacon chowder and mussels au gratin, gnocchi with mushrooms, baby spinach and a poached egg; Elgin pork belly with butternut, braised red cabbage and sage; and the signature chicken pie with truffle-and-mushroom sauce. Classic desserts on offer are yoghurt panna cotta, crème brulée and a flourless chocolate cake. DRINKS A well-conceived wine list with interesting options (some by the glass); beers and ciders; soft drinks and spirits. SERVICE Friendly and laid-back. AMBIENCE A well-dressed space with dramatically draped curtains concealing the kitchen indoors. The outdoor tables are perfect for a warm day. (LIB)
