Staff were very polite and friendly. The restaurant was decorated nicely and had a warm atmosphere to it. Starters and mains were delicious and plentiful. I'm looking forward to returning again soon!

Food always good here lunch and dinner plenty of choices. Service can be slow occasionally and frustrating that you can’t book for tables of 2-4 so can wait long if the place is busy but it’s worth it

We're regulars in Market Lane and it consistently serves good quality food at reasonable prices. I opted for two starters, the scallops which was a really generous portion and the duck. With three glasses of albarino and two gin and tonics our total bill came...More

Description
Market Lane is an award winning restaurant and bar over two floors that offers great food, amazing value and friendly service always. Where possible we use ingredients from The English Market and local artisan producers to make up our menu which has a wide range of fish, salads, meat, game and sandwiches, in addition to coeliac and vegetarian dishes and a healthy kids menu. We brew our own beer next door, have a coffee blend exclusive to us and use herbs from our greenhouse. Take a virtual tour or make a booking on our website.
