The Bank Hotel

Not unlike a garden you'd expect to find in south-east Asia, this open-air space complete with fairy lights, palm trees and long, wooden communal tables is as aesthetically pleasing as the food itself. The spring rolls have been given a very grown-up makeover, filled with duck and Thai black mushrooms, accompanied by a shallot and five-spice dipping sauce. A special of roe-attached scallops and prawns comes sizzling and laced with chilli jam, while a spicy lamb fillet with garlic, coriander and bunches of green peppercorns is sweet and fork friendly, leaving you satisfied and enjoying that peppercorn tingle.
