Top Tips for Choosing the Perfect Restaurant when Eating Out

May 16th, 2012

With people not eating out as regularly as they used to, it’s important that when you do go out for a meal with your family or friends, you make it special. At the Regency Restaurant at the Manor Hotel Meriden, we offer an excellent fine dining experience; ideal regardless of the nature of your meal.

So what should be on the lookout for when considering which restaurant to choose for your night out?

Stylish and Luxurious Decor

If you’ve having a meal with that special someone or getting together for a family reunion, you want to ensure that the restaurant you choose has a decor that matches up with importance of the occasion. At the Regency Restaurant, our dining hall is resplendent with a luxuriously decadent interior to provide a real sense of comfort.

Award-winning Service

You don’t want to take any chances when you’re planning a special meal, so it is important to choose a venue that has a fantastic reputation. At the Regency, we pride ourselves on our excellent service, and we have been denoted as an AA Rosette Restaurant, so you can rest assured that you will receive a superior dining experience.

A Great Range of Food

Wherever you go, you’ll want to be sure that you have plenty to choose from, as some restaurants only have limited but expensive menus. We believe that we offer a fantastic selection of great value, delicious meals, ranging from old favourites like chicken breast and lamb to pan roasted Cornish Monkfish tail.

We also offer an extensive wine list, with a handpicked selection of world class wines and we are sure you’ll be able to find the perfect complement to your meal.

Eating out doesn’t have to be the same old beer and a burger combination. To find out more about how our dedicated team at the Regency Restaurant can provide you with a memorable dining experience, call us on 10676 522 735 or alternatively you can download our menu and wine list from our website.

Top Tips for Eating Out in Coventry

April 12th, 2012

We all love eating out Coventry but at times it can be frustrating to choose a place that suits everyone’s tastes and the actual occasion that you are eating out for. Here at Houston’s Bar & Grill, we feel that we have all bases covering when it comes to dining in style, so read on for our top tips when eating out in the Coventry area.

What does everyone want to eat?

This can seem like quite an obvious one, but we all must have at least once arrived at a restaurant with a group of friends, family or workmates and discovered that the menu doesn’t suit everyone’s tastes or we ourselves don’t fancy the certain style of food – be it Italian, Mexican or anything else. Having to up and leave can be embarrassing and also time consuming if you’re on a business lunch, so it is always best to check the menu online and make sure everyone is happy to eat there.

Here at Houston’s Bar & Grill, we believe we have put together a menu that suits the tastes of even the most discerning diner, combining classic dishes such as our mouth-watering centre cut fillet steak with more refined choices such as our sea bass fillet with tomato salsa. (Check the online menu to see everything we have on offer).

What is the Occasion?

If you’re heading out for a quick bite of lunch or to celebrate a birthday and plan on staying for a long time, this will of course alter your decision. However, when it comes to eating out in Coventry, we at Houston’s Bar & Grill cater to all occasions, with a light, comfortable setting for daytime dining and a cool, relaxed restaurant with a great informal atmosphere in the evening – perfect for a meal out of any kind.

Location, Location, Location

No matter if it is the best restaurant in the world, it will need to be easily accessible by any mode of transport (especially if you plan on having a drink). Situated within the sumptuous setting of The Manor Hotel, one of the best hotels in Coventry, we are easy to find and close to rail links at the NEC – making us ideally placed for eating out Coventry.
