Orwell’s Bar & Brasserie

There’s nothing remotely 1984 about the modern Orwell’s Bar & Brasserie – it serves twists on classic dishes to bring them right up to date. The open kitchen at the brasserie allows diners to watch their food being cooked, and the menu boasts a selection of tempting desserts. Orwell’s is also extremely family friendly - if there’s an adult dining, then up to two children under 12 can eat for free. The bar is located in the lobby, and has an impressive cocktail list alongside all of the standard alcoholic and soft drinks.

Orwell’s Brasserie has a menu that’s been inspired by the capital’s Borough Market, and you will find plenty of home grown ingredients in each dish. If you’re in the mood for a hearty meal, try the Casterbridge Cotswold rump of lamb, or sample the Devon crab salad if you’re after a lighter bite. Vegetarians are also well catered for with a delicious Wensleydale tart and grilled goats’ cheese with soda bread. To finish off your meal, you can opt for a pudding or the cheese board with crackers and chutney.

It’s stocked with a full range of wines and spirits, and ideally placed for a relaxing afternoon drink or a sneaky nightcap. The bar also serves snacks and hot drinks, and there’s a choice of iced coffees if you like your caffeine a little cooler.

You don’t have to be headed for Dublin to appreciate Dr. O’Driscoll’s Irish Bar. It’s open from 5pm until 11pm every day, offering a range of wines, spirits, and soft drinks, not to mention that famous black and white dry stout. Relax with your pint in front of the television, or order some pub grub when you’re feeling peckish.

At Dr. O’Driscoll’s Irish Bar, the menu represents more than just the Emerald Isle, with scotch egg, Melton Mowbray pork pie, and Welsh rarebit available as light bites. The rest of the menu showcases the very best of British – fish and chips, steak and ale pie, and sausage and mash, to name just a few. Make sure to save space for dessert, as the sticky toffee pudding comes with proper Cornish clotted cream.
