Walk into Rowlands and you'll immediately clock why locals keep coming back—it's got that unhurried, lived-in feel where the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. You're looking at classic bistro fare done well: the sort of place where a starter of pâté or escargot sits comfortably alongside mains that take their time. The dining room has that warm, unpretentious charm that makes you want to linger over a bottle of wine, especially if you've bagged one of the quieter tables away from the hustle of Watling Street outside.
