Long, lazy lunches
Lunch Club
We spend as much time planning our lunch menu as we do our dinner menu, so drop in for a light bite to eat or mark a special occasion and enjoy our fresh, seasonal dishes. Our lunch menu changes often but always includes smaller dishes along with selected items from our dinner menu, available as part of our fixed price menu (2 courses £17, 3 Courses £20) or as a la carte.
Sunday lunch
Is there anything better than a traditional Sunday roast? We go all out for Sunday lunch at Restaurant 178 with a different menu every month. Always featuring the classic roast beef and Yorkshire puddings, we also mix up the menu with more innovative dishes for those feeling adventurous. With two courses for £19.75 or three courses for £23.75, our Sunday lunch is always popular so make sure you book a table.
Dinner
At Restaurant 178 , we love to experiment so you can expect traditional British dishes - locally sourced steaks, fresh fish, our famous chocolate brownies - with a twist. Our Market Menu changes with the season, so there is always something new to try including imaginative vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. You are in for a treat with our wine list too, including a special selection of French wines. If you're splashing out we have an a la carte menu or there is a fixed price menu Sunday to Friday starting from £25 for 2 courses.
