The Gem Bar & Dining Room

Swap horses for fixies and guns for smartphones and you could shoot a Western in this quirky Texan-themed boozer. Choose from upstairs, the quieter rear dining room, the lounge or the popular front bar, decorated with cowboy boots and a Mexican wrestling mask. Starters are a highlight, perhaps a beetroot and brown-rice slider with salty flavours kept in check by sweet caramelised onion. A pulled pork (smoked on-site) sandwich main might be a touch heavy on coleslaw but riding in to save the day is dessert, perhaps chocolate creme brulee with Pedro Ximenez ice-cream. Choose wisely to stay on budget, and book ahead.
