Aspire Restaurant

About Aspire Restaurant

Set inside a converted Scottish Episcopal church, this one wins parents over before the food arrives — the stained glass is still in place, the ceilings are high, and there's a video playing that shows how the building was brought back to life. It's bright and airy, though the tables sit close together and that high ceiling means sound carries, so a lively toddler won't be the loudest thing in the room. High chairs are stacked by the bar, buggies get in, and street parking outside is free if a little tight at busy times. The children's lunch box — sandwich, juice, dunkers, satsuma, a few sweets — is good value at £6. Grown-ups rave about the roast beef, the burger and the smoked haddock risotto, and there's solid gluten-free and vegan choice. Staff let families take their time; one parent noted no rush at all. Worth booking.
