“ Fantastic atmosphere at Cellar Bistro, it was buzzing on a Thursday evening. I went there for dinner with a group of about 20 people and for ease of organising/ordering we chose a set menu that included two courses and one drink. I went for the Cajun chicken salad for my starter and chicken supreme for the main, yes, double chicken! I particularly enjoyed the lightly spiced Madeira sauce for the chicken supreme with a nice warmth from smoked paprika. Service was very efficient which is such an achievement in itself considering we were a fairly big group of diners. Great experience overall. ”
