About The A Bar

A mixed-age group can settle in here without much fuss — there's a kids' menu alongside the French bistro cooking, high chairs for the youngest, and outdoor seating when everyone needs a bit of air. Step-free access means getting a buggy in isn't a struggle. Vegan and gluten-free choices cover most dietary needs at the table, which helps when you're feeding several people with different requirements. It gets lively, so a noisy toddler won't stand out, but do book ahead.
