In the town centre, near the junction of Upper Market Street and Market Place and just a few minutes walk from the Old Ground Hotel, Henry’s Bistro and Wine Bar offers a lively dining experience with the emphasis on quality with good value.
Dermot Fetton and his entire team moved here from his well-loved riverside restaurant and bar, The Cloister, in November 2018 - and the move has proved very popular with their loyal following and visitors alike.
With pleasing lighting and elegantly simple decor, the ambience of the split-level room is warm and welcoming. It's an attractive and versatile premises, lending itself equally well to a leisurely lunch or special night out, or a more casual experience in the wine bar, where lighter food is served in the evening along with a well chosen wine list and a choice of Irish craft beers.
Along with offering great service, "doing simple things exceptionally well" is the stated aim and it's going down very well with a broad-based clientèle.
While not overlong, menus at Henry’s offer everything from a bowl of seafood chowder or a chicken burger to Dover sole, and from fish and chips to duck leg confit or a Hereford steak. So whether you're looking for a quick bite on the way home or you're out for the night with time to enjoy a full meal and a bottle of wine, Henry's offers plenty of choice - and their snacks and boxes offer great food to go too, including charcuterie and cheese boards as well as less usual hot takeaway dishes like Lobster roll & fries or Chicken & spinach risotto, plus more-ish desserts like Henry's Eton Mess.
Featuring plenty of crowd pleasers like Poached pear & blue cheese salad, lamb shank and bread and butter pudding, the two and three course dinner menus are understandably popular and great value.
It really is a question of 'doing simple things exceptionally well' - and that's the secret of their success at Henry's.
