Mello has been awarded the prestigious AA rosette for its imaginative, clear-flavored, modern European cuisine. The Victorian listed building, where it is housed, unveils an interior of high-backed leather and suede chairs, contemporary art on lemon walls, white linen and a deep red carpet. The food is presented with elegance and sophistication, and the ingredients are of high quality. Situated not far from the railway station the restaurant presents a pleasant venue for a unique dining experience.

Pressed chicken and foie gras terrine accompanied by crushed apple and toasted brioche for a start followed by pan-fried breast of duck with confit duck leg, fondant potato, braised red cabbage and thyme jus make for a hearty meal. A rice pudding with poached pear, macadamia nut sugar thins and pickled ginger for dessert will pamper those with a sweet tooth. A bottle from the well chosen wine list to keep your spirits high will complete the outing.
