Wow,wow,wow. I took my beautiful and amazing wife to the Pourhouse last night for Valentines Day. A truly fantastic experience. We started with a great cheesy bread followed by 3 share plates consisting of an haloumi plate, a pear salad and a baked brie plate. Oh my goodness. Easily in the top 5 meals that I have ever had and I've eaten in 16 countries.

Have been a few times over the years and each time been really impressed. I’m a ceoliac and went with two others who had no food allergies. The food on the menu was great and included loads of safe GF options which we all enjoyed. We got a couple of share plates and they were big servings. All the food was really yummy, great vibe, bar staff were lovely and we all left very happy and full! Thanks for having us

Good range of craft beers ( couple of good porter and stout beers to test drive) interesting old urinals with a sticker for added fun. Interesting decor and friendly locals coming in
