Eating & Drinking Guide

The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.

Whether you’re a true cocktail aficionado or can’t tell a Manhattan from a mojito, the WestRoom’s extensive and engaging cocktail menu is sure to both intrigue and delight. The staff here seriously know a thing or two when it comes to mixology, and are happy to guide customers through the list, or make up something off menu to suit specific tastes. With contemporary twists on classic tipples such as the ‘Breakfast Martini’, which incorporates marmalade and Cointreau along with Tanqueray gin, or the fruity passion-fruit mule, the WestRoom is definitely a hot spot for cocktails a cut above the rest. Almost inevitably, the food plays second fiddle, with flavours disappointingly bland, especially compared to the vibrant creations coming from behind the bar.

We went to The WestRoom for dinner as we were in the area and a friend reccommended it. The staff were really friendly and attentive. For the three of us to start we had the whitebait, chicken liver pate and haggis spring rolls. All were really good, thought the whitebait was a highlight as you see it so rarely on a standard menu. For mains we had the ham, duck egg and chips, steak burger and smoked haddock fishcakes. Again, all were excellent. The portion sizes were great and the price was very reasonable.

The beer was great and we had a very nice bottle of Pinot Gregio.

Will definitely be back!
