Great food options for all, including great vegan and vegetarian options.
I visited with my partner on a Wednesday evening after pre-booking a table for 19:00. We arrived 15 minutes early but were promptly seated and offered drinks, to which I ordered the Buwch Goch Gota Red Ale which I thoroughly enjoyed and my girlfriend ordered the Madri excepcional which was also delicious.
We ordered olives (which were the best olives I have ever tasted) and the smoked duck breast starter. The duck breast was beautifully presented and utterly delicious, although the kind of small portion you should expect from a fine-dining establishment. An ideal appetiser to warm up for our mains, which for my girlfriend was the Pastrami sandwich, which we agreed was amazing and that the chips were fantastic. I ordered the 12oz Coffee-rubbed Rump steak, which was cooked to perfection and utterly delicious, and went very well with the rosemary-cooked onion with which it was served.
As sides we had chicken wings which were above and beyond any wings I've had before, in a truly divine sauce, and Pork Belly burnt ends, which may have been the highlight and the most tasty thing we ordered, in an almost obscenely sticky, sweet, dark blood-red sauce, which was used up on those amazing chips once the burnt ends had been fought over to completion.
I consider my evening at The Bunch of Grapes to be the best meal I've had at a restaurant in as long as I can remember and I offer my highest compliments to the extremely talented Chefs that put true passion and art into their work.
Service was very good and very well timed. I will be visiting again and again and cannot recommend enough to everyone I meet.
