Lovely venue, great service, food was nice but ran out of mussels. I had the pulled pork but it was dry. Would still recommend though.

The setting of Curios Manor is very quirky and therefore makes for a very unusual but pleasant atmosphere for a meal out. I went with my boyfriend on a Saturday night and my only criticism would be that by the time we were shown to our table at 20:30, the music was very loud and set up more for people coming in just for drinks rather than those dining. The food itself was great: my boyfriend and I shared a few starters tapas style and both had burgers for mains and I couldn't fault the food at all. The only problem was that by the time we were ready to order pudding (~22:00), we were told that we could only have items in the main fridge as the kitchens were no longer serving. While we both enjoyed our puddings, there were only a few options to choose from which is a shame because the pudding selection on the menu did look very good. Overall I couldn't fault the food, drinks or cocktails but if you are looking for a proper dining experience, it would probably be best to go reasonably early in the evening and maybe avoid the weekend as well.

Again, back here as it's a lovely place. Atmosphere is great and good lovely. The only gripe I have are the lack of plates for burgers. A tiny wooden board isn't easy to eat from...

Booked for a roast Sunday lunch. Only to arrive to find out they don't server roast Sunday lunch anymore. They changed their menu 2 days ago. They could have called to tell us.

Service was mixed. Some excellent but sadly one member of staff quite rude. On the night of the visit where we were in the restaurant was also quite chilly. However we have been many times before and really enjoyed it. Food was good.

Food was overpriced for the portion size. Staff were unhelpful and felt that clearly a table was more important than taking an order. Nice place but probably won't go again.

Birthday afternoon tea booked. We states on ordering due to having other drinks we would wait for the drinks to come with exception of one tea...this did not happen. Eventually tea arrived, seemingly tea doesn't come with milk so we had to ask who I seemed to be an issue. No checks and table not cleared. Staff didn't seem bothered about us at all, very disappointed to say the least. On departure still not asked if everything was ok.

Food and drink good. Service was very slow and let the resturant down, it took 25mins before someone even came to take a drinks order and it was not busy, once food was ordered food came quick and was fresh and delicious. Shame about the service as it would have been a great experience and would have got a much higher score.

Really nice and quirky venue. We were given a fab table under a huge disco ball with a great view of trinity square. The staff were extremely attentive even though it was a busy Friday night. Would absolutely recommend this venue to friends!

Food was great. Just lacked a little with sides for the main dishes. Atmosphere was lovely, staff nice, although waiting time was a little long. Wether this was due to it being busy or we were a table of six. Service due to being a little busy seemed rather rushed it took away a little from quality. When we decided not to tip the additional charge which was added on to the bill as it was simply too high and didn't warrent the service provided, our waitress was very rude and stormed off after we paid. A little unnecessary. May return for the food.

Lovely place and they provided us with the table we requested (under the tree) however we had to be moved after 10mins as they forgot to tell us we weren't allowed to eat there. We had to be moved to the restaurant part. The food was lovely, but they brought everything out at once so by time I reached my main, it was a little too cold! Also, every time a plate/glass was empty on our table, a waitress would come over and ask if it was done with. We understand they want to clear up fast as they go, but we just kept being interrupted every 10mins and it started to feel a little awkward.

Great cocktails, uninspiring food choices. We noticed it was very cold in the bar area (although we were ok in the restaurant) with people sitting in their coats. The big windows look nice but they need better heating for those sat near them!

Menu is not clear at all and Staff didn't specify/ask which sandwiches would be included in the afternoon tea, so when a ham & cheese sandwich arrived with the others I wasn't pleased since I am a vegetarian!
