The food (predictably, almost) is terrific, and not least because you’re paying something of a pittance for excellent lunch. (A main course before 7pm is only £5.25!) Some good, hearty chicken liver on brioche to start was not quite perfect, but tangy and smooth. The main courses varied: some okay chicken and mash with some sort of orange vegetable mulch (ragout, I believe) was surpassed instantly by a super piece of pork, served over dauphinoise potatoes and covered in mushrooms. Top nosh, this. Apple cake and a grandly indulgent cheesecake for dessert may’ve been moderately excessive for lunch, but even not being able to finish the latter didn’t matter so much, given that the whole bill was around £20.
In current times (so I’m told) of hardship and financial strife, there aren’t many better places to go to get an honest, well-priced meal than a Little Bay restaurant. Chain owner Peter Ilic has hit a real winner with these gems, and given that he recently ran a promotion where patrons could pay whatever they felt the meal was worth, he knows it. To put it in context; if I had left only £20 for this meal, I would’ve thought I was being pretty mean. You want cheap eats with quality..? Go here.
