Pitcher & Piano

RICHMOND PITCHER AND PIANO I visited this marvolous pub shortly after an interview based in London. After walking through Richmond with my gorgeous partner, we felt we had to visit the river. It was at this stage where we planned to get some food at have a pint at the Pitcher and Piano. Where we were greeted with a vairety of seating areas; in sun, in shade and obviously indoors. Because it was such a beautiful day we chose to sit outside. We were shortly greeted by a smartly dressed waitress who was ready to take our order. I was rather taken aback by this- i never knew of a place where drink orders were taken at the table. However, i loved this! The waitress ...  Read the complete review

Everyone loves a great deal and we found one at the Pitcher and Piano. We visited our local P&P in Winchester last weekend and had a very good meal. This is one of my favourite places to dine in Winchester. I like this place because they offer a good lunch deal at a not so over the top price like a lot of places. Not only that but they give you nice meal for what you pay. One of my favourite choices on the £5 daily list is the roasted Mediterranean vegetable and feta wrap and falafels in pitta. These meals are lovely and they are not too heavy and perfect for a quick lunch. Over the weekend when my boyfriend and I visited we tried the P&P sharer which is ...  Read the complete review

Location reviewed: Winchester I first went to a branch of this chain last night and my impressions of it are mixed. It has a very slick, cosmopolitan feel to it - Laminate flooring, minimalist colours, seductive lighting, VIP booths if you care to hire one. and the drinks/food prices are reflected by the standard of the interior. It happened to be buy one get one free on cocktails last night i.e. two for a fiver. i was about to go to the bar and order when a waitress came and took our order. i am so used to ordering at the bar in those sorts of places that that was a nice change. the menu was quite pricey but i just had a starter of chips and chilli ...  Read the complete review

I have very mixed opinions of chain bars and pubs. At their best there are ones like Weather spoons who actually do good real ale and have made use of some quite nice quirky converted buildings ( I am thinking of the Robert the Bruce in Dumfries which was rescued form the remains of the old Methodist church and done up wonderfully and the elegance of the Waterhouse in Manchester) . At their worst they are anonymous identikit places selling overpriced lager. Pitcher and Piano is a chain of 27 bars. There is one in Manchester on Lower Mosley Street but I have never been in it and actually am not sure I have ever seen it (even though I worked around there for ...  Read the complete review

I was visiting Glasgow the first time that I visited a Pitcher and Piano, almost 5 years ago. The place was what all city bars should be- stylish, comfortable, with a large grand piano in the centre of the room. The place was buzzing with people. I distinctly remember my starter- a mezzo platter with hummus, pitas, taramasalata and that tzatsiki for about 4 quid. Beautiful, huge portions and a perfect snack for sharing with a friend or two, as an accompaniment to a pint of something cold. I also recall my main course- an absolutely gobsmackingly good fettuccini with sundried tomato and cream, spinach and rocket. It was the kind of meal that was perfect in every ...  Read the complete review
