This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.
Tron is not only a theatre, but a funky late-night bar and restaurant serving unfussy, tasty meals. Having been a gentlemen’s club in a previous life, the restaurant retains this feel with muted lighting, flickering candles and a dark antique bar with oversized brass reading lamps in pairs at each end. The dining space is sparse, apart from a small raised platform, holding several tables and a small piano. The menu relates to no specific cuisine and may include teriyaki king prawns, garlic mushrooms on toast or a Cajun-spiced goat’s cheese served on a crisp crostini with lemon mayo to complement the hot seasoning. Mains include the usual burger, curry and pasta, but also more adventurous dishes such as an apple and black pudding-stuffed pork fillet – moist and plentiful though the mustard mash soaks up far too much of the punchy cider cream. Puddings are large and extra sweet with sticky toffee pudding coming up trumps – warm treacle sponge and creamy butterscotch sauce, delicious with lashings of cream.
- High point: Atmospheric dining area
- Low point: Calls for shows interrupting a meal
