A contributing factor to the buzz about the reopened Theatre Royal, Bistro Lola features a menu of classy Italian mains rarely seen in this neck of the woods. Expect the likes of anchovy-and-herb slow-roasted lamb or leek-and-pumpkin tortellini with brown butter, sage and hazelnuts. Chef Carly Lauder has spent time at Trentham's well-respected du Fermier.
If you'd rather keep things casual, downstairs does authentic pizzas, charcuterie and Italian-style bar food you can enjoy on the street-side seating, as well as a good selection of aperitivos, wine and beer.
