The Bleeding Heart has apparently been around nearly forever. It is, on the face of it a pub, however, it is better known as a French bistro cum/restaurant, and, I have to say, I wouldn’t fee all that comfortable sitting there just for a drink at lunchtime.

As you might expect, it’s full of city types at lunchtime. The food is very good, though arguably expensive for a pub (but, as mentioned, if you think of it as a bistro, not so much). The food is good, and the portions are reasonable. They have daily specials on a board - I do try to choose from those when I’m there. I’ve had grilled mackerel there, and it was very good. I’ve also tried the lamb burger, which was also excellent. I’ve also had breakfast here, which, I have to say, was superb. I had scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on toast, and it was beautifully cooked with generous portions. They also have excellent coffee.

The prices are on the high side, but not crippling so - around £14ish for a main course. They have, as you might expect, a good selection of wines, and a decent selection of Adnams real ales.

I would not like to go to the Bleeding Heart just for a drink. However, I’d happily take clients here, and have eaten here with colleagues.

A venue ideal for a sophisticated date, where you can also get good beer. Three Adnams real ales were available, including the delicious Oyster Stout, as well as Bitburger lager.
The staff were very welcoming and the atmosphere relaxed.

tries to be all three, fails miserably at the first two, succeeds admirably at the third.
