    Hmm, is it still Barn at the Biscuit, or has that changed now Barn under a wandering star has opened?

    Went there at the weekend, it was alright - everything was well cooked and everything, but it was nothing particularly original.

    Just got in from this.. and the place was pretty good.

    Food was lush.. the main course was a bit "rich" and I couldn't finish it. Had the Chicken and Bacon Rockafella which was as above with spinach, mashed potato, cheese and a weird white wine, garlic and cream sauce style affair.
    It kinda resembled a pizza.. but with mashed potato keeping it all in and a spinach base.

    Had a chocolate pudding too.. which was sooo good I almost wet myself.

    The service was good, but there was hardly anyone in..

    The actual surroundings were nice too..

    A :up: from me..

    (5 Main meals, 2 sides, 3 Deserts, 5 pints, 2 cokes, 3 coffees, 2 shooters and a brandy for ~ £140.. not too bad!)

    It's where barn at the buscuit was. It's Black doors spin off cheaper restaurant.

    Black door have a restaurant in town which probably comes to about £70 a head so they created a Brasserie which has fantastic food for less pennies. It's soooo nice. I went their for my graduation meal!! :D

    You should give Anthony's in Leeds a go - less far to go and cheaper for incredible 'molecular gastronomy' food.

    It's currently my favourite restaurant :up:
