“Then down on my knees, by the fire’s last ember
I opened the box and began to remember
For each little bauble, each stalwart tin soldier
Took me back to a time from before I was older
And each childish drawing, all tattered and frail
Contained its own story, and told its own tale…”
Open from Tuesday to Saturday, Kino is our restaurant and bar located below the Howard Assembly Room, presenting the best independent food, beers and wines.
