About Elkwater Bar & Bistro
Elkwater is a bar, bistro and lifestyle store on Broadway in Darras Hall, serving French and Canadian-inspired food from breakfast right through to evening cocktails, often with live music. The all-day format makes it as suited to a morning coffee as to a night out.\n\nAs part of the Broadway parade, it's at the centre of Darras Hall's own little high street, giving the estate a genuine destination for eating, drinking and browsing. (A separate Elkwater operates at Kirkharle; this is the Darras Hall branch.)
