Venga Portishead

CHARLOTTE SKIDMORE tucks into some tast tapas in Portishead.

Venga Portishead

I’VE discovered some small plates with some great taste in North Somerset.

I can’t believe I’ve never come across Venga before; it’s a great restaurant with a fantastic vibe and an eclectic mix of customers and the food that is cooked fresh to order is right up my street.

Try the delicious meat platter with some crispy patatas con aioli and tender sirloin steak with salsa verde or goats cheese with salsa verde and red peppers (the first time in my life I have enjoyed goats cheese).
