Today was a rare occurrence, where I was able to get out of the office for an hour to have a relaxing lunch with a friend. Fancying something nice to eat, we went to the newly renovated Town Hall Tavern on the Headrow. To be brutally honest, the Town Hall Tavern used to be known for being a rough place - where people due for a court hearing over the road used to come for a last drink of freedom. It's taken a long time to turn this reputation around, but the new owners have done wonders in making the Tavern a pleasant little gastro-pub in the centre of the financial district.
The interior is welcoming and clean, with plenty of seating inside. There is a good selection of Timothy Taylor ales, and a tasty solitary cider (Stowford Press), but the real treat was the food. All cooked on-site, the meals are filling & perfectly prepared. We both had the Scampi, but there were 4 or 5 other choices that we could have easily chosen.
Overall, a beautiful little pub that deserves real recognition in an ever-changing marketplace.
