When you think of Revolution you probably think of a busy bar to go to on a Saturday night for cocktails. I recently found out that they serve a value for money menu that is perfect for a quick bite to eat at lunch or when meeting friends for a few quiet drinks.

Décor                                                                                                                                                                                         This modern bar has recently been refurbished. Comfy leather chairs & curved booths surround the huge centralised stainless steel bar. Revolution has a modern gothic feel with chandeliers and patterned fabrics.

Atmosphere                                                                                                                                                                                 An early Wednesday evening visit was extremely quiet with just a few people popping in for drinks as they finished work. The bar had a nice atmosphere with chilled background music.  

Food                                                                                                                                                                                           The menu has a varied range of simple bar food from burgers & chips to sandwiches and refreshing salads.

Nachos – freshly cooked tortilla chips layered with Monterey jack cheese, Revolution chilli vodka salsa, guacamole, sour cream, jalapenos and spring onions.

Choice of Spicy Cajun chicken, chilli con carne or roasted peppers. Small £4 Large £6

Wow! Small = massive!! This was a generous portion to share between two people. It was fresh and came with plenty of dips for the crunchy tortilla chips. This is great value for money. Enjoy as a starter or a snack to pick at when socialising. A large portion would be plenty for 4 people.

Ranch Burger – smothered with Monterey jack cheese, cured back bacon and barbeque sauce, sesame seed bun, baby gem lettuce, chunky chips and a pot of homemade coleslaw. £5.50

I could tell immediately this was a freshly made burger. You could compare it to a homemade one, full of flavour. The chips were light, fluffy and not greasy.

8 oz Sirloin steak – chunky chips, rocket leaves and a shot of béarnaise sauce. £9.95. When our order of steak arrived I was a little disappointed. The steak looked grey and the homemade chips were overcooked. When mentioning this to the waitress she was completely happy to order a fresh portion.  

‘Take two’ looked much more appealing. The steak was cooked perfectly and the homemade chips were swapped for chunky chips which were delicious. We would of course, have marked the food much higher had we not had to send the first attempt back to the kitchen.

Being a dessert lover I was looking forward to this:

Brownies - my eyes lit up when the well decorated plate was placed in front of me. The brownies were soft, warm and moorish.

Cheesecake – the cheesecake was beautifully presented and was much more than I expected from a pub menu. It was light and fluffy served with a portion of cream.

The dessert was the highlight of my meal and Revolution is worth a visit to try these!

Service                                                                                                                                                                                         All staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was served quickly and staff continued to check if we needed more drinks.

I was presently surprised by the food at Revolution and definitely recommend a visit. The menu is really good value for money and they offer many promotions.
