The creative team at Bertram’s have found a winning recipe as Mairead Mahon discovers
‘I CAN’T stand people who don’t take food seriously’ said Oscar Wilde. He would be very fond of the team that run Bertram’s, a stylish adult only restaurant located within Crow Wood at Burnley.
Surrounded by 100 acres of countryside with views towards Pendle Hill, the drive is illuminated and an outdoor lift takes the diner right into the heart of the restaurant. It all declares that something special is about to happen and it is – after all, they hold two AA Rosettes for Culinary Excellence.
There is a distinct cosmopolitan brasserie atmosphere at Bertram’s – a mixture of modern and retro – with floor to ceiling windows overlooking a courtyard of coloured fountains, colours which are subtly echoed in the interior lighting. There is a selection of seating from intimate tables for two to buttoned leather banquette arrangements for larger groups. The tableware gleams and is complemented by white cube lighting and proper linen napkins. Not a paper serviette in sight.
