The Verve Grill at Village Hotel

The Verve Grill offers an invitingly warm, cosy atmosphere - the lighting is soft, the staff are friendly and the cutlery and glassware sparkle. This is a buzzing restaurant with a nicely mixed clientele, great for an intimate meal, business dinner or family occasion.

The Verve offers a tantalising selection of meals; try one of the gourmet burgers, or even the succulent rump of lamb on white haricot beans. Also available are prime steaks and several chicken dishes, all served with handcut chips or buttery mash, as well as salad or vegetables. Alternatively, try an Italian flatbread pizza, a classic pasta dish, or a delicious salad. Whichever you choose, one thing is certain - only fresh, tasty ingredients are used at The Verve. The drinks list is equally excellent - there are 35 wines, guest ales, European lagers and a wide range of spirits. But hold on; for a memorable experience try The Verve's speciality - 'hot rock'. Black volcanic stones are heated in the oven and transferred to your table with a choice of beef steak or tuna sizzling away. The meat is seared and sealed without the use of oil or fat, making it as healthy as it is tasty. The Verve truly breaks the mould and deserves recognition for its fine unpretentious cuisine, excellent service and much-appreciated promise of 'more'.
