The Verve Grill at The Village Hotel in Glasgow has got a brand new menu for 5pmers to get their teeth into.

Anyone who’s been before knows that not only is it perfectly placed for any Hydro gigs, its stylish decor, friendly service and huge portions make it a worthwhile venue for a meal out at any time.

Their new menu travels the world for inspiration as well as seeing classic dishes executed well. Sweet potato, coconut and chilli soup sits alongside the classic prawn cocktail on the starters.

On the mains, dishes like fillet steak stroganoff and garlic and rosemary roast rump of lamb with minted pea puree, baby vegetables and port jus are next to tandoori prawn curry with roasted okra, lim pickle, mini popadoms and minted yoghurt and spicy chicken rigatoni chicken breast with garlic, crushed chillies and peas in a spicy Rosa sauce.

The grill of the restaurant’s name sake is available for burgers and steaks.
