Me and my husband visited the Bankton House Bistro for our anniversary a couple of weeks ago and I had to write a review to say how consistently excellent the place is. We've been for a few evening meals before which were so well made and fresh. This time we visited at lunch time and once again, the food was just so good. It was fish and chips but I have to say it's one of the best I've had so far: the fish was fresh, flaky and perfectly cooked in a thin crispy batter, with chunky 'proper' chips and peas and tartar sauce. The other great thing is they offer small and large portions. I had the small portion which was big in itself - very generous. I followed this with a limoncello tartufo (ice cream bomb made from lemon ice cream with lemon curd in the middle and rolled in lemon meringue - just lovely. The a**osphere is so chilled out in the bistro (with the option of sitting in the cosy conservatory). They play easy going favourites and I could imagine it'll be lovely there at Chris**as to get you in the mood. We've visited the pub before in the hotel and it's a typical country-style cosy pub - all quirky niches and a log burner for the winter nights. Service excellent as always and good value for money. If you haven't been already, try it out, it feels like it's out of the way nestled in the woodland but is literally just across the road from Livi South train station.
