What initially started as coffee shop in 1997 turned out to be a place which embodies the idea of good food at affordable prices. Situated on the first floor in busy Mill Street, Pastiche Bistro is a smart kind of place for a romantic dinner or a large celebration where you can still leave with a not-so-light wallet.

The food draws intricate flavours from around Europe with a touch of innovation and the monthly changing menu prevents any risk of the palate from sliding into monotony. So there could be soused herrings with beetroot bound in horseradish, and Oriental chicken salad to start, followed by a rump steak with assorted chips and aioli, and tagliatelle with mussels and a white wine and herb sauce. Top this off with a winter berry trifle with toasted almonds, or an individual chocolate and pear tart with crème fraîche for desserts.
