Bar

Our bar sits at the very heart of Heft — in every sense. With a wood burner glowing, slate flagged floors, time worn beams overhead and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s an easy place to settle in, whether you’re with friends, reading the paper, or simply enjoying a quiet moment to yourself.

We don’t take reservations in the bar, so you’re free to drop in for a drink, enjoy something delicious to nibble on, or relax before or after your restaurant reservation. The focus is always on high quality, well sourced drinks – often local – alongside a selection of bar snacks made from scratch by our kitchen team. Well behaved dogs are very welcome.

On the first Wednesday of every month, we host #HeftyWednesday. Keep an eye on our social channels for a menu drop on the Monday or look at the #HeftyWednesday page for more information
