CHESHIRE: Is Suburban Green Wilmslow’s new lunchtime hotspot?

Jessica Ward | 8th August 2018

 

Nestled in the heart of Wilmslow, set slightly off the beaten track, Suburban Green is the perfect hideaway. Bringing to the neighbourhood their take on an urban retreat, the perfect space to meet friends and family or work mates, and just be.

 

Suburban Green is a unique place with a carefully crafted small plates menu, classic cocktails, craft beers and fine wines that simply make it too easy to stay all day.

 

 

We were invited by Suburban Green to give their lunchtime menu a go.

 

As well as an outdoor terrace at the front and back, it has a fantastic rustic bar area. We were given a large booth near the bar which is perfect for the working lunch either with colleagues or to treat clients.

 

The menu itself consists of a collection of small plates, sandwiches and even a weekend breakfast and brunch. We decided to stick with a selection of small plates, since each dish sounded far too tempting.

 

We opted for the buttermilk chicken thighs with honey and chilli, the chicken, chorizo and butterbean cachupa, the seared king prawns with garlic and chilli and finally the Halloumi salad with pink figs and basil oil.

 

 

Each dish was freshly made and was at our table within twenty minutes, great if you are on a time limit and need to rush back to the office!

 

The buttermilk chicken and the king prawns are a firm favourite with the locals and we can see why. The garlic and chilli sauce soaked into the prawns beautifully and the contrast of the honey against the crispy buttermilk chicken was to die for.

 

Each dish from the small plates menu is priced at a very reasonable £5.00 – £8.00 and although the term “small plates” is used, the portions are still very generous, so you will certainly not be going away hungry.

 

So, whether you are having a leisurely lunch with friends, popping in for after work cocktails or even passing by on a doggy walk (Suburban Green are very dog friendly) be sure to check them out, the VIVA verdict is that you will definitely not be disappointed.
