Housed in a stunning Grade II listed building that is the site of the first public library in Britain, The Library Bar and Grill offers high-quality modern English cuisine, specialising in fresh fish and meat cooked on a wood fired grill.

The main eating area – an expansive room with floor to ceiling bookcases, a 9-metre high glass ceiling and an upstairs art gallery – is impressive and plush. There is also a private dining area, an upstairs bar and a courtyard for outside eating and drinking.

Fantastic sandwiches are available for lunch or lighter bites, and example main courses include oysters, steaks and boar sausages. Starters come at around £5, while main courses are around £10-15. Sandwiches are £6-8.
