ELY HQ has revamped its focus and its menus. This lovely space is now ely-hq gastro pub, and the all-day menu is hot to trot: ½ pound organic ely burger, served on a homemade bun with a choice of toppings - aioli, roast tomato & lambs lettuce, or smoked cheese, chorizo & chili relish. The bangers and mash, is served as colcannon, sweet onion chutney & mustard sauce.
Alongside the old classics they have introduced some comforting dishes for the times in which we need comfort – the ely-hq pot – potted crab, toasty baguette, watercress & capers; Quiche Lorraine with French salad; and moules frites with black olive tapenade crostini. Superb wines and cocktails also at super-keen prices
