High Street as many people realise is Castelo Concepts and not much more. Very little has changed over the last couple of years so it’s refreshing to see an independent opening on this popular thoroughfare.Petes Place is run by the former occasional chef from The Den off Bonham Road.

Petes Place is run by the former occasional chef from The Den off Bonham Road. There’s a close family connection and the quality of food and service has followed done the escalator to Petes Place.
The cuisine is distinctly western but with an unusual, central/South American slant.
Dishes revolve around strong and spicy flavours, with an interesting mix of options. It doesn’t have say 6 pizzas, 6 pastas and 6 meats (like Jaspas and High Street Grill). Each dish is very unique and means although the choice isn’t huge, there’s plenty of variety.
We were there for soft opening. Even then, you get a real feel for the attention to detail in the food.
Tuna tataki is seared on a bed of silky avocado and a delightful salad topping. Not your usual pile of greens with a slip of dressing on the side. The tuna was cooked to perfection and super fresh. Wife had the soft centred scotch egg which was again cooked to perfection.
For main I had the black rice paella, presented beautifully with fresh mussels. The other people in our party also complemented every dish without exception.
I’ve since returned to look at prices as soft launch was on a pay as you want basis. The prices are incredible for High Street and a real breath of fresh air.
Survival will be based on word of mouth and ability to get seated as the place is very small. It’s proximity to a well known off licence will give it some passing trade.
We will return soon and as long as quality and service remains high - as it always did at The Den - then this small, personal restaurant is bound to be successful.
