Mortons Kitchen Bar & Deli

Mortons is set on the main square in Dickens Heath. There is on-​street parking outside, but it is often full at busy times, so you may have to park some distance away.
The restaurant itself is light and airy. As you go in, the bar is straight ahead of you, with the bar seating to the left. This consists of a number of sofas and coffee tables, plus some taller tables with chairs which are great if you want your meal in the bar area. The restaurant is to the right, and has a mixture of bench seats (with cushions) and tables with chairs. The kitchen is open to the side of the restaurant, so you can spy on what other people are having before you order. There are also some tables outside for the fine weather.
The food at Mortons is more reasonably priced than at others in this gastropub group. There are a number of sharing plates, including a fine deli board which includes olives, hummus, flat bread, squid and aubergines. Some of these sharing platters make a good lunch for two with a salad and some chips (plus aioli) on the side.
There is also a good selection of salads (both the Greek and spiced pumpkin with feta are highly recommended). Pizzas come two for the price of one most lunchtimes. The free range spit roast chicken is absolutely delicious. Sides include a great bowl of greens.
Mortons does a great Sunday brunch, and there is also a big lunchtime menu of hot and cold sandwiches. The place is family friendly, and a lot of people bring their children here.
