6 OF US HAD LUNCH AT PRIORY HOUSE YESTERDAY, 18 FEB 06, ALTHOUGH WE HAD PLANNED TO MEET AT A NEARBY RESTAURANT WHICH WAS UNEXPECTEDLY CLOSED DUE TO FIRE DAMAGE. THE PRIORY SERVICE WAS WELCOMING, FRIENDLY, QUICK AND HELPFUL. WE WEREN'T RUSHED AND OUR ASSORTMENT OF MIXED TAPAS ARRIVED QUICKLY AND FRESHLY AND WELL PREPARED - PERFECT FOR A DREARY SAT AFTERNOON. I WOULD DEFINITELY RETURN AND WOULD RECOMMEND TO FRIENDS.
Replacing what was previously a pub of the same name, Priory House is a contemporary designed restaurant with dark leather dining booths offering privacy as well as comfort. The extensive tapas style menu allows diners to choose any number of dishes which derive their flavours from throughout the Mediterranean. In the summer months the doors are opened onto the terrace for al fresco dining. There is a no smoking policy on the ground floor however smoking is allowed in the basement bar.
