Surrounded by a cluster of bars and pubs, it’s an ideal starting point for a Saturday night - or somewhere you might end up staying all evening. I visited on Saturday night with my best friend for some much-needed catch-up time over food and cocktails. We were welcomed into a bright, airy space, full of relaxed chatter and warm lighting.
The entrance to The Table (Image: Poppy Huggett) The décor is clean and contemporary, with minimalist artwork and an open layout that feels social without being noisy. We started with a round of small plates - green olives, steamed vegetable dumplings, and beer-battered cod with pea purée and homemade tartare sauce. Our chosen dishes (Image: Poppy Huggett) The cod was a standout: the batter crisped to perfection, while the fish inside was tender and melt-in-the-mouth.
A special shoutout goes to the veggie dumplings too - delicate, flavourful, and made even better dipped in soy sauce. Next up was another selection: chicken popcorn with tomato and chilli dip, ham-hock and chorizo bites with hot sauce, and the chef’s falafel with garlic yoghurt. The ham-hock and chorizo bites (Image: Poppy Huggett) All small plates are priced at £7, or three for £18 - great value for the quality and generous portions.
The bites were perfect for grazing and sharing, and everything arrived quickly with friendly service. The chicken popcorn (Image: Poppy Huggett) Of course, no Saturday is complete without a cocktail or two. The Table offers happy hour from 5pm to 7pm with 50 per cent off all cocktails — a real win.
The bar area (Image: Poppy Huggett) I kicked things off with the Elder Mimosa (elderflower cordial and prosecco) which was fruity, light, and dangerously easy to drink — I ended up having two. The Espresso Martini and Elder Mimosa (Image: Poppy Huggett) Then I tried the Parfum Fizz, a refreshing blend of gin, thyme liqueur, rose, lime, and soda - the perfect drink for a warm evening. My friend, a coffee lover, stuck with the espresso martini all night and was seriously impressed.
The Parfum Fizz cocktail (Image: Poppy Huggett) What really stood out was the attentive and warm service throughout. The team were helpful without hovering, creating a welcoming atmosphere that matched the menu’s modern, easy-going vibe.
