Mietta's Review
In the days when you could smoke in pubs, the Grand Nash's public bar was known to locals as The Ashtray, with good reason. However, the restaurant is a world away - an elegant French-style bistro, light and airy dining room, with open kitchen and flowers on the bar. It has taken on a new lease of life under new chef, Ian Oakes. The impressive thing about this place is that even as chefs come and go, standards remain high. If only all pubs were like this.
