The Wine Bar, Twickenham

I went to the 'Gourmet' evening last night, a good idea to brighen up what's normally a quiet Monday evening when not much is happening.

Sampled some of the most delectable wines with a heavenly 5 course dinner which made me feel totally spoiled. The service was top notch, as ever the staff were very friendly and efficient. From what I understand this was their first Gourmet function and would strongly recomend it. I hope they do this again as it wasn't completely full, however have a feeling I may have reaped the benefits as the portion sizes were very generous indeed!

The Old Goat, Fulwell

Having heard mixed reviews I thought I'd give it a go and see for myself. Looks good from the outside and the inside decor is well presented, quite chilled on a Sunday afternoon.

I was disappointed with the roast lamb which was quite fatty and chewy and presented in a simple way with your basic carrots and peas etc (was sure the veg was all frozen). Wouldn't go back for a roast dinner considering the price did not reflect the quality>

It has a nice enough atmosphere and cosy seating etc would suggest popping in to see for yourself but perhaps hold back on the Sunday lunch.

The Wine Bar, Twickenham

Has now re opened as the "Wine Bar'. Now much bigger with the same ambience and ever friendly staff who will tender to your every need if so required. New management in place with a passion for making this place a real success. Tapas and restaurant menu at competitive prices. Have not yet tried the food but having seen it it looks delicious.

Definately a go see and experience and before you know it you'll become a regular I'm sure. Ideal for a night out catching up with friends or a chilled out Sunday afternoon relaxing to some chill out sounds whilst sipping a nice Merlot.
