LOVE IT! Review done.
Because I like to babble, here’s the rest:
I look forward to heading up North, not just for friends and family, but for Greens. Yes, the italics are necessary.
The atmosphere is cosy and ‘chatty’, the lighting is just the right amount of dim (yes, I’m Goldilights) and the decor is faultless, chic and mildly quirky is what they do, and that’s how I want my living room to look.
Service on average is solid, sometimes phenomenal as it was last night for dinner, never poor. It’s never even slightly average, always good. Hence, overuse of the word solid again.
It’s a vegetarian restaurant so vegan and veggie options are plenty. My family, friends and fiancé are all T-rexes to varying degrees and they all adore Greens almost as much as me so, as places for all dinosaurs, it’s definitely one to go to. The guys at Greens also do a restaurant that is not solely vegetarian. Next time I visit, I might sacrifice my craving for Greens at the altar of writing reviews, and try out their other place.
Onto the food. Oh, the food. Give me a second while I close my eyes and pretend I’m there again. Hmmm...two more minutes...and, I’m back in the room.
Again, I love it. Last night was one of the nights where they offer a set menu. They do those three nights a week but I forget which other days. I can confirm that they definitely do the set menu on Tuesday nights. They also do lunch time set menus that work out even cheaper for a great selection and a good quality meal.
All my favourites were on the set menu, and the same was true for my parents so we were spending less, eating well and very cheerful about it.
I’ll start with my parents as they were going full Hindu yesterday – all about the no egg – and the staff very kindly subbed in a few eggless options onto the set menu.
Both my parents ordered the soup of the day which was cauliflower and tarragon – sounds ambitious, tasted successfully delightful. Followed by, Thai green curry with rice and fruit crumble with cream for dessert. Two words that describe both: doubly delectable.
I ordered the onion frittata and tomato chutney to start (yum), followed by Cheshire cheese sausages with bubble and squeak mash, beer gravy and tomato chutney (infinity yum) and the chocolate and ginger pudding with chocolate sauce (double yum).
Everything at Greens looks homely, appetizing and doesn’t disappoint because it is fresh and scrumptious. I recommend that you go there, and have an evening of mouth-watering excess with lovely food...especially, on set menu days.
What I don’t recommend, during this economic climate, is watching Duck Soup. Though it was filmed years ago, I’m almost certain that it hits close to the mark on how, and who we have trusted to sorting out the Eurozone crisis. After all, we do need to take up the taxes, before we can take up the carpet.
Price: Approx. £65.00 for soft drinks x 3, three course meals on the set menu x 3 and service charge.
