Nestled in the heart of the charming market town of Wetherby, Snug & Chatter is a delightful gastro-style pub and eatery that promises a memorable dining experience.
My partner John and I decided to treat ourselves to a mid-week dinner at Snug & Chatter, and we were not disappointed. As we entered, we were warmly greeted by Sam and Elliott, whose friendly and efficient service immediately made us feel at home. The restaurant’s ambiance was inviting, with a modern yet cosy atmosphere that perfectly matched the establishment’s quirky name.
We started our evening by ordering a bottle of Prosecco, setting the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. For starters, John indulged in the Garlic & Chilli King Prawns, which were pan-seared to perfection and served on toasted sourdough. The combination of flavours was divine. I opted for the Florentine Fishcake, a delightful smoked haddock fishcake filled with cheddar cheese and spinach, finished with a perfectly poached egg and homemade tartar sauce.
The starters set the bar high and we were eager to see what the mains had in store for us. For our mains we couldn’t resist sharing the Steak Fondue Chatter Board, which turned out to be a fantastic choice. The rump steak was cooked to medium-rare perfection, and the accompaniments, including sautéed chestnut mushrooms, beer-battered onion rings, and chunky chips, were all equally delicious. The Rosemary and Sea Salt Focaccia served alongside the Queso Mozzarella and Chili Cheese Fondue was a delightful addition, adding an extra layer of flavour to the meal.
When it came to dessert we were spoiled for choice. I opted for the Very Berry Eaton Mess Sundae, a delectable combination of fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, crushed meringue, marshmallow, whipped cream and strawberry compote. John chose Bourbon Vanilla Ice cream, accompanied by a shot of hot espresso coffee and Amaretto Biscuits.
In between courses we took the opportunity to explore the restaurant and discovered the outside balcony terrace, which we agreed would be perfect for warmer evenings. The terrace offered a cosy and intimate setting, ideal for enjoying drinks or dessert al fresco.
Our dining experience at Snug & Chatter was exceptional. The food was delicious, the service was top-notch and the ambiance was delightful. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal with friends, a romantic dinner for two, or simply want to enjoy a drink, Snug & Chatter is the perfect choice.
