Business Lunch Venue

[GHS1961 10]

A rare event for me as I normally have a home made sandwich for lunch at my desk.

 

I have to take a couple of colleagues from out of town for a good quality meal this Thursday.

 

Used to use the Wig & Pen when I did this thing more often but I've had mixed reports. Ideally I want somewhere in the city centre, that isn't a chain restaurant (so that rules out pretty much everywhere in Leopold Square) and won't cost more than £15 per head.Preferably somewhere that should be reasonably busy with a decent non stuffy atmosphere

 

Ideas/thoughts appreciated.

The Rutland Arms on Brown Street serves good homecooked food. Menu below. There is a thread about the Rutland Closing/Re-opening on the forum where people have given feedback on the pub and menu. Don't know if you consider it walkable for clients, but only about 5 mins walk from the town hall.

Hi

 

I've had a really good lunch today at The Milestone in Kelham Island. It is a popular venue for people meeting for business and social reasons, but I thought the food was excellent - it's even in next years Michelin Guide for eating out in pubs.

 

You can easily find it on a google search but as I have posted fewer than 5 times I can't put the link here ..... it's the-milestone.co.uk.

 

And no ...... I HAVE NO CONNECTION WITH THIS PLACE !! :-)

[The Damhouse 10]

You are probably doing lunch as i post this, but we at the Dam House do lunch for £5.

 

please see our web site for details.

I second The Milestone.

 

But also try Platillos which is a tapas place (also owned by Wig and Pen) in Leopold Square. Or The Old House on Devonshire St. Or Gusto on the High St...

[Venkman 10]

Oooh, I wonder where they ended up going!

[Jimbhuna 10]

Too late I know...But Gusto Italiano on Church Street is excellent!

 

Milestone is great yes...Inless you go for their tapas taster night! (long story)
