Thornbury is home to this most diverse of eateries. Ronnies Restaurant and coffee lounge is as much a great place to while away an evening of celebration as it is to stop off for a light lunch, coffee and cake or just kill time in the atmospheric 17th-Century surroundings. This carefully renovated building features beamed ceilings and natural stonework with walls adorned with original artwork from leading UK artists, which is also for sale. There can be no better setting in which to sample the wares of classically-trained chef and owner Ronnie Faulkner.
Ronnies' menus feature only the finest ingredients sought from local producers where possible. The South West and its abundance of farms and markets means that food miles are kept to a minimum and fish is brought to your table via Brixham. Ronnies' à la carte menu combines the honest flavours of simple European cooking with panache and imagination, and the resulting dishes are enough to excite the tastebuds of any exacting critic. The menu is concise and all dishes are expertly executed. Start with classic creamed pea soup with mint, and experience the garden-fresh taste that only comes from using über fresh produce. Lyme Bay diver-caught scallops with Italian bacon, garlic purée and sage butter is another delectable way to begin your feast, while roasted pavé of Cornish lamb in garlic cream, leek and onion with rosemary sauce and dauphine potatoes is a substantial main course that certainly makes the most of what is available naturally in the surrounding region.
The new market menu, available lunchtimes and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, provides an opportunity to experience the culinary flair of Ronnie and the team at exceptionally good value. Changing regularly to take advantage of seasonal produce and using some of the finest organic and rare breed suppliers, the menu provides an excellent opportunity to sample innovatively put-together local foods. Ronnie has created the perfect stage to showcase his culinary talent - now that word is out, get booking.
