During the day we offer lite lunches, tapas, afternoon teas (Please call to book your afternoon tea) with tea/coffee, Prosecco, or with a Gin Twist!! Pop in even for a cup of our branded coffee or teas, and indulge in some nice cakes or a slice of tray bake.
In the evening we open our restaurant to a different dining experience, with fully dressed tables, and fine food produced by our chefs using only the finest of locally produced and sourced products. Try one of our 20 wines, a bottled beer, crafted gins, or even a cocktail. Going to the cinema?.......pop in and have a pre theatre dinner with us, which is available Monday to Thursday from 5pm to 6.30pm. We also cater for all dietary requirements.
Children and Young persons are most welcome during day time service, however from 5pm, we operate a policy which allows young persons from 16 years old.
We feel this gives customers flexibility & understanding

Lovely meal and good selection of gin. A little disappointed with the sticky toffee pudding it tasted burnt. Everything else was perfect.

I had been looking forward to trying out The Willows since I heard it had opened and was not disappointed. The food was excellent and the staff were just as good. They were attentive and very friendly. If you don’t have both good food and good service, the whole experience can be spoilt. I’m so pleased to say that it was a superb evening with my family.

We'd heard on the grapevine that this is a good place to eat and indeed it is! Delicious food, friendly helpful staff, cosy intimate atmosphere, would definitely go back.

Spur of the moment booking. Lovely atmosphere, great staff, good food and easy to park. What more could you want? Oh yes, and a picturesque riverside location overlooking the city.
