Main Street Kitchen — Restaurant in England

I want to be careful with this review, Main Street Kitchen has been open a while now and I am aware that it has proved popular and my wife and I had felt we needed to go following various positive comments from friends. Ultimately though we, ourselves, were a bit disappointed. Let's start with the positives the layout is very nice, the staff very friendly and the atmosphere good. The service was speedy but we were there early Saturday evening so not at its busiest. I will be honest though I have never been particularly inspired by the menu, the food sounds nice but nothing has really leapt out at me. We ordered a sharing starter of bread cured meat olives etc and that was nice. For mains I had pasta but the others had pizza again it was nice but we all felt something could have been a little better. My pasta was quite oily, the pizzas could have had a little more sauce. In other words my view of the menu proved correct. The food was okay but wouldn't have me planning a return visit soon. The major issue was the cost which I felt did suggest that there should have been more to the food, it seemed expensive for what we got- hence the...

Lovely atmosphere very welcoming and nothing too much trouble. A couple of us arrived early so enjoyed an apperitivo to toast my friend's upcoming 55th wedding anniversary. Great Bellinis! The owner took our order and he came back to check whether we were enjoying his recommendations which we appreciated. The Rosé was very fruity, the starter of chorizo in sherry & fennel so tasty and very fresh bread to mop up the juices. The pappardelle in the special cheese sauce tasted almost buttery and was complimented by the smoked chicken ham and mushrooms which added real depth of flavour. The chenin blanc was a great choice. Just had room for a hazlenut cannoli double espresso and a Cointreau which finished off the meal to a tee. Had a great catch up with friends before their imminent holidays. Felt really relaxed not rushed between courses and we even had a look at the garden for when the weather gets warmer in the evening deciding to book a table for next month so we can hear about the holiday adventures and hopefully celebrate a...

Lovely atmosphere, staff so welcoming and friendly and delicious food. We ordered the Puccia with poached eggs and avocado with the added goats cheese, along with the soup of the day and wedges. They were all so delicious and great value for money. Karen could not do enough for us. My sister is pregnant and she asked about certain foods etc she couldn’t eat. The lady chef come out and explained what is in each and tailored to ensure it was all good for my sister to eat. She also made a home made mustard sauce for her to go with the wedges.. After our email Karen took us out the back to show us the beer garden and where all the home made bread it made.. would highly recommend Main Street Kitchen and their lovely staff. We will definitely be returning soon and also will be enjoying the garden in the summer. Thanks Karen again for your lovely service, along with the chef and your lovely staff....
