The Greenbank Easton has recently been saved from demolition by the Zuzu Kitchen team and has been refurbished and re-opened to the delight of local Easton residents. We travelled down by train on Friday to meet up with friends and we were really impressed with what we found. A warm, inviting bar, beautifully decorated with subtle nods to the "green"bank area. Estrella and Orchard Pig Reveller on tap held memories of summer holidays and autumn weddings and the amazing aroma of freshly cooked pizza had us salivating.
The main problem we had was actually finding a seat. The bar is situated in the centre of the open plan bar with tables placed around the outside of the building. This means plenty of standing space but not much scope for adding another ring of tables or putting your drinks down whilst you stand. We ended up on what I can only assume by the amount of colouring pencils, is the kiddies table by the kitchen exit perched on some stools whilst we waited for a table to open up.
The smell of the pizza eventually got too much for husband and he decided he'd split a pizza with one of our friends. They ordered a pepperoni, ground beef and jalapeno pizza, very reasonably priced at £8. It arrived very promptly and from the bite I had, was delicious. The menu also lists half sized pizzas from £3 suitable for children or small appetites. Very clever! Everything on the menu looks lovely with the egg, taglio cheese and truffle oil pizza catching my eye.
The vibe at Greenbank Easton is very relaxed, the ambience is great with candlelight lit tables. I could actually hear the other people in our party speak over the low level buzz. This bar looks like it's going to be a real asset to the community of Greenbank. We had a great time here and will be back for sure!
