Director Kyle Murray has revealed his hope for the smokehouse bar/grill venue is for it to become a place where people will go for the food on offer and stay for the entertainment.

He told a meeting of Falkirk Council’s licensing board last year: “We’re trying to create a friendly environment – we don’t want it to be a drinking spot but an entertainment spot. We want to offer a new style of food and a new style of entertainment.”

Taste has table service and the management hope to eventually have an app that will allow people to order food and drinks.
