Food was lovely Glad we reserved a table as a lot of people were turned away I do think the ladies toilets require a refit and a very good clean though

Very slow service despite it not being over busy. Tomato soup very spicy, not told in advance. Fish cakes dry. Just a disappointing experience

We had specifically requested a wheelchair space for one guest. What we had not anticipated that we could not even get into the restaurant, because there is no wheelchair access. We were confronted by two steep steps and a narrow doorway. I have looked at your website again and there is no warning about lack of wheelchair access. It is a legal requirement for public buildings to have access for people with disabilities but if this is impossible you should make it known to your potential customers. Luckily there were other places close by, because we were not in a position to go very far from where we were. Most disappointing. The lady who opened the door for us was very apologetic and understanding, which helped.

Booked on line turned up said they were full didn’t bother the acknowledge the on line booking. The place was majority empty booked for 645pm. Shame big mistake as was treating my friend to a 50th birthday meal so we went to queens Cantonese instead and had 109% service so I highly recommend you go to queens Cantonese as you get far better service

Good quick service. Nice food. Friendly staff. Will keep going back again and again. My mistake was I don’t like kidney beans and the meal came with them (albeit only a few thankfully).

Everything about our visit was excellent- staff were all friendly, professional and lovely to see them smiling. Ambience was good as was the service. Plenty of choice on the menu and the food lovely- what more can one ask. An extra bonus was a charming young man who knows how to make a perfect G and T!!!

Very helpful and friendly staff. Main course portions were okay but more than made up for with the amazing “dark & stormy” cheesecake, we wanted to lick our plates it was that good. Only negative comment would be the toilets where only one was working and watched one lady struggle in and out of the only working cubicle which was partly obscured by a wall. That aside would definitely recommend on food and service.

Quick lunch time service, was a nice light room. Big portions - maybe a bit too over-facing for a lunch time sandwich. But so tasty and with a nice salad.

Portion sizes very small, much smaller than previous visits. Mackerel pate almost ran off the plate. Spanish hotpot extremely disappointing, runny sauce like water. No accompanying vegetables offered. When we got the bill we had, once again, been overcharged as we were on a previous visit. Fixed price menu so should be easy enough to calculate!! Won’t be returning unfortunately 😞

Unfortunately the restaurant menu was completely different to the one online which meant we ended up leaving as there was no choice for my friend with allergies. We’d recommend ensuring the menus match up in the future.

My friend was 10 minutes late and we had to rush to a football game but the service was amazing and when we needed the bill in a rush they were very attentive. Food and wine was great and with the set menu the value was great.
