Vesuvio Wines Cocktails and Ales — Restaurant in England

The family and I have been visiting Vesuvio for a while now for a cheeky beverage or 5. Today Vesuvio launched their official menu with Master Chef Matei Baran and let me say it more than lived up to the hype. The four of us arrived and were greeted by the lovely bar manager Sophie and owner Les. They make you feel at home straight away. Ordered drinks and then escorted to our table. We all decided on the same for each course. Started off with the pigeon. It was cooked to perfection and the orange in the jus was the perfect match for it. Then we all had the Venison.

I would never go in here again and the management need a better idea of what is happening when they aren't around...assuming it wasn't the managers t were...

Please work on your communication skills! As a wine bar, FANTASTIC! Great selection of beer, wine and spirits, brilliant atmosphere, great clientele and never a sour taste unless you run in to the disgustingly rude and unprofessional business partner (who's name I do not know ;always drinking at the bar in a suit) This man whom I'd never met before, vetoed a previous arrangement with the bar whilst waving his hand in my face, telling me I was lying :-o excuse me???? ...Very shocked by his attitude towards me in a bar full of people, and not the type of behaviour I would choose to deal with at all! A very sad day for such a...
