[edit] Blurb

Tiny restaurant run by Joe Wright, five times Cheshire Young Chef of the Year, and his brother Ben.

[edit] Where

140 Northgate Street, just by the city Walls.

[edit] Atmosphere

Pleasantly quiet. Seems to be attracting discerning locals.

[edit] Prices

Main courses are around £13.

[edit] Food

They are making an effort to use local ingredients. We were told that some herbs come from the chef's mum's garden. The food is not over-elaborate but is imaginative and well prepared.

[edit] Conclusion

Very pleasant small restaurant with excellent food and service.
