A bit of historyMeet the team
With its light, rustic-chic style, Bistro 21 has a refreshing simplicity but a serious intent. It’s about eating classically-executed, bistro-style dishes in comfortable and relaxed surroundings. Half-close your eyes and you could be in a French country restaurant.

Seasonally-driven menus - locally-sourced, wherever possible - offer flavoursome, bistro classics with a contemporary twist. Puddings veer happily towards comfort. Fixed price lunches and dinners (two courses £15.00, three courses £18.00), daily specials, vegetarian dishes plus a programme of special events and offers add to the choice.

There’s a snug-like bar, a pretty courtyard and three private dining rooms. The style is unpretentious - pitch pine floors, rush-seat chairs, crisp white cloths - the service informal and friendly. With no table seating more than eight, the atmosphere is warm, intimate and just the right side of lively.
