Bistro Village Fayre

The food at this restaurant is fantastic, especially when you get it for free! It is served by handsome waiters and the amazing boss Paul treats you with respect. We love Paulo Miguel, who charms us into staying at the bistro. He is definitely a keeper!

I visited a nearby office for work and decided to grab a quick lunch from their take away counter. I ordered a small noodle dish for £5.95, a bottle of Ribena for £2.20, and a small rocky road for £1.50.

I had a satisfying lunch at this restaurant. It was quite busy for a Wednesday lunchtime, but we were seated quickly. Our group of 6 was promptly served. I ordered the chicken jacket potato, which was generous in portion size with plenty of salad. The cucumbers were a bit dry, but the chicken was served with a tasty BBQ sauce and came with a large jacket potato. My colleague's pizza looked great, and the kebabs also appeared to be of good quality. If I find myself in the area again, I would gladly return to this restaurant.

What a great find! We found this restaurant thanks to TripAdvisor. We had never been to a Portugese restaurant and we decided to enjoy the adventure. And enjoy we did! It was Miguel, our host/server, who made our evening extra special. We felt like we were dining in his home. He expertly guided us through wine and food selection for the best experience possible. The red Portugese house wine proved to be excellent and the lamb chops were as well. Since mussels weren’t available that evening, I opted for the clams in white wine sauce. The flavour was good but the clams were teeny-tiny. Clams’ fault! As the evening progressed, the restaurant became less busy and we were able to learn more about Portugal from Miguel. The entire dining experience was lovely. I highly recommend you visit The Village Restaurant. I hope you get to meet Miguel!

It's pretty good but nothing that notable. Came in for lunch and for the kebabs. The salad is an iceberg dominated plate. The lamb meat was pretty good. Wish it had more vegetables as part of the kebab. The French fries were really good. It is a solid lunch choice that's nothing amazing or too bad either. Just go for a good meal that does the job.
