I do love a good Relish night. The main point of this review to take away, is I can safely say that in my opinion, Relish do the best burgers I have ever tasted - Handmade Burger Co. and Gourmet Burger pale in comparison!
The staff at Relish are generally great people, especially the bartenders... only the glass collectors seem sullen and sulky doing their job but I can't really blame them. The place is always spotlessly clean, well-decorated and the chalkboards above the bar are a definite to-see!
Personally, I go to Relish to watch live bands - a band plays every Thursday night (my biased favourite being Blues Armada who I have guested for at this very place). They don't take up too much space, and it's more ambient jazz/ blues than thrash punk but it can get a little loud (the bingo players upstairs like to complain a lot, haha).
The only bad thing I can say about Relish is that it has no independent parking - only the East Laith Gate NCP parking. TIP - if you go into Relish and tell them you've parked in the NCP, they should give you a ticket that lets you park for a reduced rate. This used to be £2 all evening but I'm not sure of the rate at the moment.
Great food, great-priced drinks, great venue! read more
