You wouldn't expect such a gem of a place in the town centre. You'd expect to find a fine dining place like this in the countryside. But we're really lucky... read more to have Encore here. I've been there several times now in the past few months and it's consistent with its warm welcome and supberb food. The new management have improved the decor, so it's much cosier now. The staff have got the balance just right - professional, friendly and courteous. The food is fantastic and there's a great wine menu. Good kids menu, the way it's worded just made me burst out laughing! They arranged a private cheese and wine night for me and my friends - and it was so special - all thanks to Gareth. And there's loads of parking just across the road. What's not to like!

  Having walked past many of times we decided to go for our evening meal on Friday night. We were not sure what to expect in the slightest, and we were... read more very happily surprised! They offer small plates and large dishes which is great if you either like to try lots of different things or you don’t have a big appetite.

I would say 3-4 small plates would be enough to ensure you leave happily satisfied!

The food was delicious. The flavours and concoctions worked very very well. The staff were polite and attentive. Not too much, but just enough.

We will definitely be back.

  Wow! What a place. Down tonight with my wife. Staff were attentive and also clearly proud of the place. The food is just stunning in both presentation and flavour. See... read more their Facebook page for examples, it is absolutely accurate. Great selection for all. Vegan menu was vibrant and exciting.

You will not find a restaurant like this in the locality. The flavours are a welcome wake up call to your tastbuds. Clean, refreshing and if you choose the right dish a nice touch of chilli heat. Couldn't fault the food and service especially as the place was packed.

When you go (not if!) make sure you book. Just in case.

I understand encore has been open around a year. It has just received two certificates for 'highly commended' in best restaurant and also chef I think it was... These are well deserved accolades and I predict this place can achieve great things.

We look forward to our return!
