The Quadrant is a very unique place, for its owners are two of the former Chefs when the restaurant was known as The Portrait House. It is with experience of the restaurant, local area and understanding of what the locals want, that sparked the idea of a new restaurant. The two combined forces to create The Quadrant and it is now one of the most loved restaurants in the area, with Head Chef, Adam, lending his experience and skills to the plates that delight the customers at the restaurant.
