About
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.

This was always my favourite restaurant before Covid. My first time back this September was really a bad experience. The Chef has definitely changed. I had fillet steak, which I would expect to be tender and juicy; the total opposite, it was tough and not...at all tasty. My husband had the monk fish whiich was overcooked and very rubbery with absolutely no taste. The atmosphere was'nt as good either and people seemed to be too close for comfort. They need their old chef back quickly or they will go out of business.More

I had diner and drinks here many times I always get the Steak with potatoes fried mushrooms and onions& tomato.The last time tho the steak(Sirloin steak) was brought almost cold and it was far from as tender as it used to be before and the...taste was different and not in a good way.I also had 2 of their cocktails first was ok, the second was called Coconut mojito and it smelled and tasted like medicine I just left it there and paid the bill and we left.Dissapointing visit, I won’t be back for a very long time.Shortly after this incident my partner went for diner with a friend ,my partner liked the food the his friend said: “never again”and both said inside the restaurant it smelled like rotten fish.More

After a very long absence I returned for lunch at Market Lane, on Saturday, it was joyous! To see happy faces of both staff (quite rightly masked up) and other diners, all happy to be there, enjoying good company and super food! Loved the way...we were welcomed outside , then taken to our table, this showed us how Market Lane staff were as pleased to see and have us there as we were! If your looking for great food, a Warm welcome , great atmosphere Market Lane inside or out is the place to go !As it was lunch. I didnt experience a Cocktail, but nest time I cetainly will !! Ha ha . Thank you allMore

Market Lane offers a great dining experience. The food is fresh, much of it from the nearby English Market. Despite Covid restrictions, there was a good buzz about the place and the hardworking staff were helpful and in great humour. The menu is varied but...we particularly enjoyed the fish dishes. And although there is plenty of wine to choose from, don't miss their own microbeer Elbow Room. It's terrificMore

A busy restaurant with a great atmosphere. We had prebooked for indoor dining, tables well spaced and all covid restrictions in place. We had pate and crab tart followed by the hake and short rib. Desserts were just too tempting so we had the brownie...and bread and butter pudding. The wine was also good with a varied choice. Food was delicious, generous portions and reasonably priced. The staff were welcoming and friendly, a big thank you to our waitress Serena who was such a bubbly girl and never stopped smiling, which made our evening even better. Grazie Serena.More

Went here for dinner with a friend. We arrived slightly early and they were happy to seat us right away. Staff were lovely. Menu was nice with good variation. Ordered the chilli which was absolutely delicious!! Atmosphere was great and we were allowed to chat...for ages after our meal. Good distancing between tables. Really enjoyed the evening. Would very much recommend.More

I ordered from a separate gluten free menu that said “Coeliac Friendly” as I have coeliac disease. Both menus seem to have the same items with slight differences and I was given the normal menu version with gluten. I didn’t realise this until after I...left when I was very sick for the night. The food was otherwise very nice and so were the staff but I paid a lot for the meal so it was disappointing that the kitchen wasn’t informed that my order was supposed to be gluten free.More

There is a separate vegan menu. Ask your server when you arrive, it’s a really nice menu, not just an after thought like the vegan option is in some places.
