Nestled in a vibrant central location near the old cathedral, Playwrights Restaurant presents a chic-shabby decor and an extensive wine list. While the ambiance and service generally receive praise, the food often disappoints. Dishes like the homemade fish pie lack flavor, and salads may arrive missing key ingredients. However, the restaurant shines on special Mexico nights, drawing crowds with authentic cuisine and energetic service. Many patrons commend excellent delivery service, especially for their hearty Sunday roasts and festive meals. The new owner, Nicola, aims to rejuvenate the menu and overall experience, fostering hope for improvements ahead.

What User dislikes about Playwrights:
where do I start? if they want to watch the personal to run like headless chickens in a atmosphere of total chaos obviously no one of the workers are trained asking them for the same item more than once and never get it, finally ending with fat eating and then when they come to pay, there is no recording of their order then playwrights is definitiw the place for them has survived. customer care nil. quality of the fo...

Sweet staff. Very clean and well laid out space. Food is made with fresh ingredients and to order. Had the vegan breakfast, a GF cross bun, and cappuccino. Breakfast was quite satisfying: beans well cooked- creamy, not too sweet, nice portion; wilted spinach and grilled tomato was fresh and flavorful; hash browns were the best- thick, fried hard but not burnt, and fully cooked; mushrooms very flavorful but a little undercooked for my personal taste. Cappuccino was strong in coffee. Foam wasn't as smooth as I've had it elsewhere, but good strong coffee nonetheless. I'll come again during my next stay in Cov.

You are very likely to firstly find something on the menu you like in, whatever your tastes, and hopefully enjoy your meal. There is an extensive menu, and a very large rotating specials board, covering many types of cuisine. Food is tasty and well-cooked, and the restaurant has simple yet pleasing style, and friendly staff. There is also a bar area where you can have a drink, or you could dit outside to eat or drink on a lovely pedestrian street just off the High Street.

Not overly cheap, but a good price for the quality and amount of food you get. A broad menu with a large list of changing specials, and a nice place to have a drink outside in the summer.
