Book NowAbout Rogue Bistro
Tucked into Newstead, Rogue Bistro delivers inventive, multi-course degustation dining without the stiff, white-tablecloth pomp. The dining room feels warm and dimly lit—electric yet easygoing. Diners return cyclically for the rotating tasting menus, where courses shift each month without missing a beat. The kitchen accommodates complex dietary needs with dedicated vegan, nightshade-free, and seafood-free set options that never feel like an afterthought. Early snacks set a high bar, especially the warm New York rye roll paired with whipped smoked butter that melts straight into the crumb. Later plates balance rich proteins with bright local touches—crisp-skinned duck alongside rich purees, and delicate quail brushed with lemon myrtle oil. Settle into a cosy table upstairs with a paired wine flight or a South East Sour, wrapped up by a Mushroom Mont Blanc.
