Bang restaurant was booked on a friend's recommendation. Oh my gosh, it did not disappoint. The staff were superb, friendly but not over friendly. Very knowledgeable of the food they were serving and no rushing. The food was delicious, mushroom tarts, I want more. I had duck for the main, and it didn't disappoint. Their homemade bread, well you could just have a plate of that on its own. We will certainly return. Thank you for a lovely evening.
