Sat, to 6pm Sun; )
This little haven of laid-back industrial chic - a high, narrow space
lined with bare stonework, rough plaster and exposed ventilation ducts - serves some of
the finest and most inventive cuisine in the northeast. Try starters such as baked black
pudding with wine-poached pear, or mains like beef casserole with red wine and Moroc-
can spices.
