We go to Hotel West End every week for the trivia night. The food and service is excellent and it’s a very pleasant atmosphere: not too noisy, light and airy, spacious. And the trivia host is clear, well-organised and fun. Nice place for a group/family meal as you don’t have to yell at each other to be heard.
