Menier Chocolate Factory

Menier Chocolate Factory Restaurant Review:

This was, as the name suggests, once a chocolate factory. It has retained all the attractions of a former industrial building with bare red brick walls, wooden floors, odd levels and industrial-style ironwork columns. The theatre is a little gem, continuously putting on plays which transfer to the West End, an additional reason for booking at this slightly out of the way venue in trendy Southwark. The food is honest to goodness, not subtle but delivering good value and large portions. Try a first-rate soup of the day or share a charcuterie platter. Mains include pastas, roast duck breast, lemon sole, good burgers and the like. Desserts---if you have room---include the Menier brownie, a real killer for the waistline. The wine list is decent and not greedy; service is quite delightful; the whole experience very worthwhile. Set 2-course menu £14, 3 courses £17.
