We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 course lunch today. It was great value for money. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. The restaurant was very cosy with a fire blazing near to where we sat. I look forward to returning soon for lunch.

We were a group of dietary annoyances and each one of us were catered for, I am a veggie and didn’t realise there was a vegan menu, I will definitely be back to try!

Brilliant meal. Excellent service from the staff. The Chef and owner even came out to our table as we had asked for fruit for our 6 month old baby. Very very accommodating

Excellent food in very relaxing surroundings. Service was friendly but not overbearing or pushy. Time between courses was ideal, enough time to enjoy each course but no too long so that the kids got bored. Altogether a great dining experience.

Had the pre-theatre. Great choice, great food and great value for money. With all the snow I expected the choice to be limited but it wasn't. Service was also good.

The food was delicious. I was spoilt for choice but plumped for the scallops and pork. They did not disappoint. Service was excellent and surroundings very welcoming.

Great food and service. I enjoyed the bang bang chicken and my colleague had the french onion soup which also looked good. My colleague had sticky toffee pudding which looked good (maybe needed some dates in it) and I had a lovely chocolate pud.

From the welcome to the last morsel, this was an exceptional dining experience. John Quigley certainly knows his onions and treated us very well. His own beer is also very good.

Great lunch on the set menu - 2 courses for £10.95. Soup of the day for starter then the chicken paprika was very tasty, and others had bang bang chicken and then cod for main which was highly rated as well. Brilliant value, great food and presentation and lovely service. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Will be back soon!

Food was good, portions a little unrefined. Service was middling, with several minutes of attention seeking required before we were able to order coffee and again when we were looking for the bill. Place could do with a deep clean (lots of dusty light fittings and fake flowers) and litter round the bar. Decent value for money < £50 (inc 10%+ tip for two courses, one glass wine & 2 coffees)

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Red Onion yesterday evening. The service was excellent, and all the staff were very friendly and seemed to be very happy to be working there. The atmosphere was great fun. The food was very good, and very good value for the price, plus the wine was excellent. I can certainly recommend Red Onion, and hope to be back soon.

We had a nice meal on Valentines night but we’re restricted to the set Valentines menu. I had pate, sirloin and apple crumble all of which were nice but not particularly special. My husband had vegetable soup, sea bass and crumble. The soup and bread portion was fairly small and the sea bass was extremely small in comparison as it was one fillet of fish, a small potato rosti and a small salad. It certainly wasn’t enough to feed a 6’ 2” man and was significantly less food than the steak meal which was disappointing. I can’t help but feel we paid a lot more for a lot less because it was Valentines. The service was lovely but we left feeling a little disappointed. We’d give it another chance on a normal night.

Should have specified we didn't want a table near the door, was a bit draughty. Was looking forward to haddock risotto ,but only mushroom on the menu , so I suppose I was disappointed from the outset. Skinny chips have replaced the lovely Thick hand cut chips I remember eating here. The fish cake I ordered was nice as was the wine. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak .
