Evening Menu

As Smoke and Mirrors Restaurant is an independently run restaurant, the menu is subject to change. It is advised to check the menu before your visit. Please do let us know upon booking of any dietary requirements, including vegan, and any allergies or intolerances. Please be aware that we also serve a traditional Sunday lunch menu, on Sundays, rather than our A La Carte main course offerings.

We require a £10pp deposit on tables over 4 guests, this will be removed from the final total of the bill and is non-refundable if the reservation is cancelled within 24 hours of the booking. Reservations that require a deposit will not be confirmed until the deposit is paid.
