Verdict? A little surprisingly, the vegetarian offerings (milk curd, cauliflower, and kale) were our favourite dishes of the evening. The flavours of the meat courses were nice enough, though lacked the wow factor. But with a vibrant atmosphere and attentive staff, The Town Mouse certainly makes for a sophisticated yet relaxed venue for a drink and a bite, or two.
