| - Tasty Mexican inspired food. Good craft beer selection. Bustling atmosphere.
I had been to The Wren before for wings and beer, and it was a fine time. Tonight I went back for a proper meal, and I quite enjoyed it. I got the Turkey Sausage with Cheddar JalapeƱo Polenta, and my girlfriend got the Pulled Pork Chimichanga. Both tasted great, and had a lot of flavour. Both dishes had some delicious spiced black beans, which had just the write amount of liquid. The black beans paired perfectly with the cheesy polenta, and both elements really anchored the dish. It was complimented by some pretty spicy Turkey sausage, some crispy tortillas for crunch, and some salsa fresca (tomato, onion, cilantro, etc) and microgreens for freshness. My brother had the Shrimp and Haddock Cakes which he thought was okay.
The space is fun and contains a lot of rustic charm with the walls and the chandlers containing a lot of old character. Its very inviting and so was the staff. It was pretty busy on a Saturday night, so you might want to try more off hours. Also they do a burger special on Mondays. Though their Mexican style food is good enough that I'm unsure if I'd want to order a burger.
