About RAREBIT

On Sayer St, RAREBIT is a restaurant that blends the feel of a bar, a pub and a market into one room, with waitstaff bringing dishes to the table. Welsh rarebit anchors the menu as a specialty, and it also turns up built into the rarebit burger alongside a standard burger option. Beyond that, the kitchen sends out a pear and Stilton salad, mac n cheese, and scallops. Service runs on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers single out the Welsh rarebit, one calling it quite possibly the best they've had. Close behind are the scallops, mac n cheese, and pear and Stilton salad, plus a newly added burger one reviewer praised. Another found the rarebit burger's meat overcooked, since nobody asked how they wanted it cooked. One calls the place a restaurant, bar, pub and market hybrid still searching for its character.

    “The atmosphere is lovely and rustic. It's quiet but with a good vibe. The staff are friendly and polite and the service is quick. There was great sales and banter from our waiter, Barry. The food though was simply delicious! Quite possibly the best rarebit I've ever had! Very good scallops and Mac n cheese too.”

    “I meant to do a review a while ago as I've been here a number of times and I really loved it. But I've just been again and they've added a burger to the menu and it's honestly one of the best burgers I've ever had, so thought I MUST do a review. I was thinking I should take a photo of the burger to put it on this review, but I ended up finishing the rather large burger before I realised I forgot to take the photo! I definitely plan on coming back so I'll have to add the photo to this review then. In the meantime, I really advise you get down there. Update: been back and had the burger again and added the photo”

    “Excellent restaurant / deli - the speciality is Welsh rarebit (a posh cheese on toast) which is delicious. The pear and Stilton salad was also tasty as was the pistachio ice cream. Perfect for a shared plates dinner and we will come back for brunch! A great addition to Sayer St - the top dining destination in Elephant”
