Food Scene
Volta
167 Burton RdVolta serve small plates which are delicious and it has a great atmosphere.
Delicious food and pricier than other restaurants but in our view worth it for a special occasion. The only down side is that the dining room has lots of hard surfaces so can be a bit noisy.

The Met is a large pub within easy walking distance. Great in the summer for sitting outside and in the winter for large open fires. The food is good pub food. It is very popular.
