Binks Yard further down the canal towards London Road has a cracking outside area - I’ve heard good food.

Cured down near the train station is pretty neat, we don't have many waterside cafes/bars/restaurants etc. (aside from the Canal House etc.), so it's nice to have somewhere to sit on the waterfront and chill out with a nice bite and a drink.

Other than that, I'm really struggling to think of places that are 'novel/unique' etc... We need more funky places.

Coco Tang and Yochoko are good options if you fancy something slightly more oriental.
