SITUATED on a quiet side street in the very picturesque village of Bradford-on-Avon, the Weaving Shed is a very modern and open plan restaurant with a warming feel.

The place only opened in 2015 so it has a very modern feel and it has a glass exterior with all the food being prepared in an open kitchen so a diner can appreciate the food being prepared.

The restaurant is near the river Avon so it's a very nice setting.

My Mum and I had never been to Bradford on Avon before so it was exciting to eat somewhere different as we have driven through it lots of times but never experienced any of the restaurants.

The place was not full but had a fair number of tables dining.

Our server was very welcoming and showed us to a table near the bar. The décor is very minimalistic and spacious with the long windows giving the building lots of natural light and a comforting feel in the evening.

The server took our drinks order where they had a range of traditional drinks including cocktails, wines and gins. Both me and my guest went for gins because they had a great selection and we love gins.

I had the gin Tanqueray no 10 and my Mum had the rhubarb flavour gin. Each drink came with the tonic in a separate glass and matched with fresh fruit which was a nice touch and we both really enjoyed them. They were very refreshing.

The food menu was quite limited but had some really high-quality options. We both went for starters, I had the homemade bread (£2.00) and my Mum had the scotch egg (£8.00).

The bread was delicious and served warm with butter. My Mum really enjoyed the scotch egg which was cooked to perfection and with what you always look for, a gooey centre.

For mains, I went for the chicken, chorizo and roasted potatoes with a mustard sauce (£17.00). I wasn’t sure about the mustard sauce but decided to give it a try.

The chicken was tender, and the potatoes were tasty. The dish was packed with flavour, but I actually think the sauce was the bit that let it down as it was quite thin with not an overly powerful taste. It didn’t have much of a mustard taste. However, the dish was still great and I couldn’t fault the flavour.

My Mum had the 8oz Burger with paprika fries and cheese (13.50). It was a huge burger with the meat cooked medium-rare and was slightly pink that I was told from her tasted amazing with lots of punch.

Both being big on our sweet treats we had to go for pudding despite being very full we wanted to try them.

I went for the chocolate tart with blackberry sorbet and honeycomb (£6.75).

Being a huge chocolate fan, I was so excited to taste this and oh it didn’t disappoint.

The tart was warm with a dark, truffle chocolate with the sorbet complimenting it very well.

My Mum had the apple and blackberry crumble served with vanilla custard (£6.75).

She thought the crumble was baked well and the custard was delicious.

We finished it off with two teas (£2.25 each), finishing very satisfied.

The meal was £70.50 for two people to have starter, main and desert with alcoholic drinks and tea which seemed very reasonable for the amount that we had.

It was a lovely restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, and I would go there again. It was great to see the food being prepared in the open kitchen too.
