I was asked tricked by my work colleague Sally where I would most like to eat and locally, and I mentioned whittles as a must go to place... Then for my birthday I was treated to £80 worth of gift vouchers. We visited on Friday March 4th booking a table for 2. As you will see from the interior pics, on entry, you knew it was going to be amazing. Mia, our hostess, server and awesome bar tender, looked after us meticulously from the outset, and is an absolute credit to whittles. The meal from the beginning was awesome :I chose the black pudding scotch egg (check out the pics to see how perfect it was), my partner chose the soufflé and was NOT disappointed. We both opted for the sea bass - sublime!!! The acidity of the salad cutting through the brown crabmeat emulsion and rosemary butter 👌👌. We also decided on the tarragon carrots and shallot crisp which didn't detract from the flavours of the bass. As much as we would have loved dessert, the table next to us, and the one lady's incessant whining forced us retire to the lounge. Mia was there to rescue our ears with THE MOST AWESOME NESPRESSO MARTINI'S. (IF you ever go to whittles just for cocktails... Make sure Mia makes them 🍸🍸👌👌 I was lucky enough to chat with Steve Goswell the executive chef at whittles, and was completely absorbed by his passion of how he wants to take whittles. It was unfortunate that when we went, there were only 2 other tables (one with the whining lady), yet evenings are way busier with much more atmosphere, and we will be going...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant, and I can confidently say it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, the warm and attentive staff set the tone for a great evening. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and provided impeccable service throughout the meal, ensuring we felt well taken care of.
Now, onto the food—where do I even begin? The chicken chorizo risotto was nothing short of spectacular. Creamy and perfectly cooked, the balance between the savory chorizo and tender chicken made each bite an explosion of flavor. It’s a dish that alone would be reason enough to return.
But then came the lamb moussaka, a true standout. The layers of tender lamb, rich béchamel, and perfectly spiced eggplant created a comforting yet refined dish that felt both homely and sophisticated. Every forkful was an absolute delight.
And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, the seafood pasta arrived. Fresh, delicate seafood blended with al dente pasta in a light yet flavorful sauce—it was a true highlight of the meal. The seafood was fresh, and the flavors were balanced to perfection.
The combination of excellent food, welcoming atmosphere, and exceptional service made this a dining experience to remember. Whether you’re a fan of Mediterranean flavors or just looking for a great meal, this restaurant is a must-visit. I’ll...
Read moreWe chose to come to whittles for their special Valentine's menu. Wow we chose the right place. From the second we were welcomed in, we felt like royalty. The team at whittles really went to town on the decor for Valentine's, it was really appreciated the place looked amazing! We started off with two beautiful cocktails made by Amanda downstairs in the lounge area, before being taken upstairs to the stunning restaurant. Connor was so attentive all night constantly topping our wine up.
The food was unbelievable. The cheese souffle is the greatest souffle I've ever eaten, better than the jetty's. The beef wellington cut like butter, and the pastry was still crispy, perfect. Dessert was stunning too. 5* isn't enough, give this place a try, there really isn't anywhere else around that compares. Thank you for a wonderful evening whittles,...
