Based in the heart of the city’s business district, The Asquith has a classic French menu designed by chef Glynn Purnell (who also heads up the Michelin-starred Purnell’s) and head chef Jason Eaves. The set menu costs just £19.95 for three courses, making this the perfect place for a spot of business lunch – we recommend the parmesan risotto with crispy hen’s egg followed by the pan-fried pollock with cauliflower and parmesan puree, roast spiced cauliflower and potato gnocchi.
