Balls Brothers Minster Court

Steeped in over 150 years of culinary tradition, this establishment offers an intriguing dining experience with its bifurcated layout featuring a lively bar upstairs and an expansive function room below. The restaurant is capable of hosting grand occasions, from charity dinners to corporate events, adeptly accommodating large parties with efficiency that showcases the staff's commendable capability. On the menu, a standout is the chicken pie, generously portioned and accompanied by a rich gravy that garnishes well-cooked vegetables. While some culinary offerings struggle to meet expectations, such as a lackluster steak and mundane mash, the wine list maintains a competent yet unremarkable presence. Enveloped in a relaxed atmosphere enhanced by a remarkable musical selection, the venue is a decent choice for gatherings despite the occasional critique of service speed and ambiance.
