Vincent Café & Restaurant

If you're after something a bit special on Lord Street, give Vincent Café & Restaurant a look. It's got a solid 4.4 stars from over 300 Google reviews, so they must be doing something right. It's attached to the Vincent Hotel, so think slightly fancier than your average spot, but still relaxed enough for a decent lunch.

They're open early – 7 AM most days, 8 AM on Sundays – and stay open fairly late, so you can grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner there. I'd say it works well for both couples wanting a nice evening out and families looking for a reasonably smart place to eat. It's got that kind of vibe.

The menu's got a bit of everything, from what I remember – steaks, salads, that kind of thing. It's not cheap-as-chips, mind, but the quality is usually pretty good. Plus, being right on Lord Street, it's dead easy to get to.

If you're thinking of going on a Friday or Saturday night, especially during the summer, it's probably worth ringing ahead to book a table on 01704 883800. It can get pretty busy, and you don't want to be disappointed.
