A very bad night for the staff who were struggling due to lack of support. 2 waiting staff on a Friday evening and an overwhelmed chef did not make for a good experience. The food was unfortunately very bad too, stone cold and took an hour to arrive. I've had great nights here so will return, just a victim of wider hospitality staffing issues at the moment.
3 of us had the 2 courses for £17.50 with a complimentry small glass of wine which is an excellent deal. Especially in December. 👋 Mains were very tasty and fresh. Had a small issue with 2 of the desserts but this was dealt with, no fuss. Staff lovely and friendly, especially Kev who went out of his way to make our dinning experience enjoyable. Well done,definitely recommend a visit
First visit to Avant Garde. Pleasant place to visit on a wet night. Nice menu with a mix of Greek and Scottish dishes. Some good deals available explained by a very helpful waitress. Food was excellent and a good selection of beers and wine. A local band playing bluegrass and country were fantastic. Great atmosphere and well worth a visit
Enjoying the Saturday afternoon sessions with live Jazz. Great band, talented musicians! Seems to attract a senior crowd but they are all dancing and happy day drinking and it's sweet. Some members of the bar staff seem young unexperienced, patience may be required. I'm keen to try the food, and I hope they add beers to their tap options as they are quite basic at the time of this review!
Really enjoyed the Ceilidh dancing last week! Such a blast. Can't wait to do it again!! The cocktails are good as well, with reasonable price.

In Brazil, “Boteco” is the friendly neighbourhood bar with lively music and atmosphere. And that’s exactly where our inspiration comes from: the traditional botecos of Rio de Janeiro, where you can enjoy a refreshing Caipirinha – our signature drink.
