Edwinns was a restaurant on Bridge Street. It has now closed, and as of October 2009 the premises are in the hands of Cote Restaurants, who plan to open there in December 2009.

The information below is retained for people who want to know what it used to be like.

Large, and empty on a Wednesday evening; serving a standard English restaurant sort of a menu. Comfortable chairs and tile floors. Part of a small chain — five others. It recommends its cocktails.

Has a piano in the bar window, and a live pianist every other weekday and Sundays; you feel a little sorry for him, since he's clearly playing with the primary requirement being background music.

Serves a three-course set menu for £15.95 Monday to Friday, a-la-carte on weekends. Reasonable vegetarian options - two starters and two main dishes.

I dined there 11 November with a friend; we shared the whole baked camembert as a starter, which comes with not quite enough dipping opportunities and is perhaps slightly over-bitter but perfectly pleasant. Braised pork with an elaborate mash for me, mushroom fricassee for my friend, both very tasty. They officially don't have house wines, but offer a nice £14 Chardonnay if you ask for house white. £28 a head with wine but without dessert.

Last visited by Tom, 11 November 2007.
