Tap & Tandoor

You're walking through West Quay and spot Tap & Tandoor nestled in amongst the retail chaos—and suddenly the evening takes a proper turn. What you've stumbled into is that rare thing: a gastropub that actually understands both halves of its identity. The tandoor skills are genuine (not the Instagram-friendly approximation you get elsewhere), and the beer list shows real thought rather than just whatever's on tap at the cash-and-carry. The room itself feels unpretentious—neither trying to be fine dining nor playing the scuffed-pub card. It's the place where someone from the city centre genuinely wants to eat, where the noise level suggests people are having conversations rather than performing them.
