As the name suggests, this unique establishment provides an eclectic dining experience. The restaurant, located in a 13th century friary, provides a casually elegant ambience. The interior is somewhat offbeat with a wide variety of historic memorabilia, including posters of James Dean and various strategically placed gas masks. Menu selections include a number of typical English dishes such as the ploughman's meal, pastries that are hot from the oven, and fresh sandwiches. Daily specials are listed on the chalkboard. The service is accommodating and attentive.

This posh eatery is located in an upscale hotel next to the river. The dark leather chairs lend a clubby feel, and Art Deco frosted glass panels serve as screens to afford privacy in the booths.

A chef's special is available daily and may include chicken liver parfait with fig jam and brioche, followed by daube of beef braised in Guinness, and then a tarte Tatin with Chantilly crème. The attentive service and chic ambience tends to attract a classy clientele.
