Wonderful meal again at Gum Bistro. Sunday lunch at Gum Bistro means welcoming service and great food and drinks. You can't go wrong picking anything on the food and the drinks menu. Our mains were the Fish, Quail and Vegetable Gratin. All beautifully prepared, cooked and tasted fabulous. An extensive drinks list and an extended wine list means you can be sure that anything you feel like drinking is covered. A very enjoyable lunch!

Our lunch party of 12 ladies for a birthday celebration all enjoyed their mains, after sharing a delicious haloumi and foccacia with dips. Thank you for allowing me to bring the champagne! We sat outside on the terrace, which was perfect. Nice and quiet so we could chat in comfort. There was a varied choice of mains and salads to choose from. Would definitely recommend Good Grace
