Lavish in Stevenage

Ah, Lavish – it's one of those places that just sticks in your mind after a visit, isn't it? Tucked away on the High Street, this bar and grill serves up some seriously tasty Mediterranean cuisine that's all about fresh flavours and a bit of that lavish touch they promise. I love how they've nailed the atmosphere; it's got this elegant yet relaxed feel, perfect for nipping in for a cocktail upstairs or settling in for a proper dinner downstairs with those comfy blue velvet chairs. The food? Outstanding – generous portions that leave you feeling well looked after, whether it's their Sunday roast or that bottomless brunch on select Saturdays. And the team there are an absolute gem, always on hand with a smile and helpful advice to make your evening seamless. On the downside, it does lean towards the more refined end, so if you're after something low-key for a quick drink, it might not quite fit the bill. Plus, with the no-kids policy after 5pm on weekends, it's geared more towards adults, which is fair but worth noting if you're planning a family do. All in all, it's a brilliant choice for a memorable night out with friends – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed!
