"It was warm so we ate outside for our lunch, sitting in a secluded patio area with shade which was delightful despite a rather noisy road. The basket of bread was fresh and moreish and I love the thin breadsticks which we were also served. Our sardines starter was fresh and tasty. My lamb chops were delicious and perfectly cooked, as was my daughter’s ribeye steak. Very generous portions served with roast potatoes and veg. We shared a tiramisu which was homemade by the chef, and finished with a pot of peppermint tea each. Our patron’s service was thoughtful and we didn’t feel rushed. We spent a leisurely and delightful afternoon at Blades and I will definitely be going back again."
