Perfect Bar to Enjoy in the New Year

After the festivities of Christmas are over, you may not be quite ready to give up the good life. If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to spend more time with your loved ones and treat yourself to a few more evenings out, then the Cellar Bar could be the ideal venue for a few of your most memorable moments of 2012. Our warm and welcoming bar is the perfect place to see out the cold winter evenings.

Whether you are enjoying a winter romance and are looking for somewhere to treat your date, or you want to spend some valuable time with your family in a fantastic restaurant the Cellar Bar cannot be matched.

We call ourselves the Cellar Bar for a reason, and our wine store features enough fine wines for you to enjoy throughout the year – however many times you return to visit us. The fresh flavours and seasonal produce of our simple yet delicious menu are popular whatever the weather, but during the colder months a few of our dishes in particular can help you to beat the winter blues. How about a classic homemade steak pie with chunky chips to warm up a winter evening? When you are looking for something a little different, our roast vegetable filo tart on a tomato compote with parmesan salad is a simple yet filling choice.

We like to think that we are specialists when it comes to steak, and our 8oz Sirloin with a choice of sauces is ideal when you are looking for a hearty bite to eat. A classic club sandwich was made for a quick lunch with friends, whilst our range of delectable desserts – including a classic apple crumble – are always popular.

If you are looking to start the New Year in style, then where better than the Cellar Bar? In our opinion, it is best to begin a new year as you mean to go on, so why not begin 2012 by sampling a few of our popular cocktails or enjoying a light lunch with friends in our cosy bar?
