I am gluten free and normally my choices are limited, they weren’t at red onion - had a pre theatre Gluten Free Menu, which was yummy! Food was lovely, looking forward to another trip soon!

First time at this place and much impressed by the ambience, choice of menu and quality of the food and service. Only downside was the side order of greens did not arrive with the main course but when we pointed this out the staff were more than happy to rectify and not charge us for that item. Would recommend this place and will definitely be back.

The food, service & atmosphere was excellent. Definitely will be back & rate it highly. I would have scored it 6 accept for where we were sitting. Would have preferred s cosier seat. Although I'm sure if I had mentioned the staff would have taken care of that small detail

Tasty food at a reasonable price with good service what more could you ask for. We had a pre theatre meal prior to a show at the Kings Theatre. Meal was served promptly leaving plenty time to stroll to the theatre.

Good ambience. Suitably detached but yet involved with the rest of the restaurant. Good food along with pleasant service and served quite fast. Just what we wanted on a Sunday afternoon.

Lovely menu and nice buzz. Food was excellent quality. My husband wanted to swap sweet potato mash for ordinary mash which they could not do but offered sautéed potato instead which was ok. Otherwise excellent. Would go back.

Enjoyable lunch. Good, unobtrusive service and food was fresh and tasty. Great that they have a vegan menu, but a little disappointed it wasn't included in the good value lunch deal.

Lovely restaurant with very friendly attentive staff. Both of us loved our meals especially my partner who has to follow a gluten free diet. The large selection of meals that he could chose from really made a difference and the quality was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Lovely meal, in a casual setting at a decent price for the town centre. Highlights were the goats cheese starter and the fillet steak. Great service too. If I had to be picky, I’d say the lighting could be a little less harsh in the window seats.

The restaurant had a nice ambiance and buzz about it. It was nice to find a restaurant that had a separate gluten free menu and the pre theatre menu was very good value. The food was excellent and it was good that some dishes had a vegetarian alternative, although it would have been helpful if it had indicated all vegetarian dishes on the main menu rather than having to use a vegan menu.

The service and food were exceptional. The waiting staff were wonderful with our daughter, really caring- making sure the soup wasn't too hot and offering smaller portions. All meals were delicious. Good range of tastes and dietary requirements catered to on the menu. The craft beer was lovely too. We had a wonderful meal, we will be back and highly recommend to others.

I booked online for a Christmas lunch, but when arrived were told you have to specifically pre-book the Christmas lunch menu - there was no option / prompt to do this online so a little disappointing not to have the menu we went for. We were seated very promptly and our table was ready when we arrived - however, we were seated in a booth upstairs and the seat was all torn and the foam exposed. It looked like a cheap greasy spoon café! Décor inside was nice apart from this (and the confusing curtains at the entrance as you feel like you are performing a magic act :-)). The starter arrived - my friend ordered goats cheese, and I the pate. Goats cheese was a very small portion (one thin slice) and the pate looked like someone has ran out to a local supermarket. However, it did taste ok. The main dishes were definitely the stars of the show - chicken for my friend and I had the beef which was thoroughly lovely. For dessert we both chose the chocolate brownie - was ok, a fairly average offering. Overall, probably wasn't as nice as we had hoped for.
