Dining Review
55 Bar
Delicious Lockdown
Sunday Roast!
...................
Whilst in lockdown, we’ve been
sampling some of our favourite
restaurant’s takeaway menus.
This month, director Helen enjoyed a
Sunday roast from 55 Bar, located on Wade
Street, Lichfield.
I have to admit this is the first time I have
eaten food from 55 Bar Wade Street and
due to Covid-19 we decided to give their
takeaway Sunday roast a try. I booked in as
soon as I could as they do get booked up
quite fast - all it took was a simple Facebook
message (you can call too) and my order
was placed and a time given for me to pop
along and collect. We received fantastic
service, with safe, social distancing and
contactless delivery adhered to, and all food
securely boxed and organised.
We had opted for the family roast – the
star of the show being a slow-roasted,
succulent, whole garlic and thyme roast
chicken! Cooked to perfection, the meat
just fell off the bone, and it was served with
all the trimmings, including a mouthwatering
selection of roast and creamy
mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, honey
roasted carrots, gratin cauliflower cheese,
homemade Yorkshire pudding and red wine
pan gravy.
Now I love our Sunday roasts and believe
me this really hit the spot, in fact this is one
of the best (if not the best) we have had, all
cooked by the super talented Chef Tom
Astle.

If, like me, you get
hungry and are
worried about
portion size - don’t
be! There is plenty
of food to fill even
the most ravenous
of people!
After an hour’s ‘rest’ we dove into the
puddings. I went for the sticky toffee
pudding and custard and my partner had the
elderflower gin cheesecake. These were the
perfect, sweet end to a fantastic meal and
did not disappoint.
Currently, 55 Bar is also doing two
cocktails for just £10 so to put us in the
holiday mood we also opted for two
cocktails, these being a ‘Floss and Gloss’ and
a ‘Double-Blush’ cocktail, which we enjoyed
sat in the garden on our ‘staycation’.
If you are missing your usual sit-down
restaurant meal, I would highly recommend
55 Bar Wade Street for their delicious and
varied takeaway menu. The customer
service, quality of food and drink, and food
preparation is exactly the same as dining-in
– truly perfect!
Take a look at 55 Bar on Facebook, where
you can also view the menu (including a
children’s menu). Payment is via debit/credit
card and orders can be made over the
phone by calling 07753 977064 or via
Facebook. Sunday serving times are 12pm till
5pm so please order in advance so save
disappointment.
