    Wow! What a lovely restaurant! Not ridiculously priced, decor amazing and staff warm, friendly and welcoming, went for my daughter’s 30th birthday, with 18mth old twins and a 5 year old. 100% recommend! Oh and the food was amazing!

    Food was ok, maybe portion sizes a bit too big, especially the roast dinner, can sometimes put you off when faced with a huge plate of food. I found the place lacked atmosphere, not a very good selection of wines by the glass. Service was a bit lax and slow too.

    Beautiful restaurant. Friendly staff. Food very tasty. Lamb beyti only luke warm. Unfortunately we were sat near the door on a very cold day and there was a freezing cold draft. We sat with our coats on and couldn’t get warm which made the experience not very enjoyable.

    It’s a fashion show of women judging you not a dinning experience the women who greet you are on the phone googling stuff looking around the restaurant looking bored simply not a restaurant experience more like people having a go at it and failing …. With a service charge on top

    Had yet another lovely lunch with excellent service. I love this restaurant, especially as they order in gluten free lager which most restaurants such as the Bellhouse refuse to stock.

    The waitress was very good. And the service was very efficient. We had to return both our main meal, because it wasn't very hot. They were returned on fresh plates. The meal was very nice. The price was very reasonable.

    First time visiting. Beautiful restaurant. Staff very attentive and customer service excellent. Food though for myself was just ok. I had the steak pasta. Great portion size and steak was well cooked but that was about it. The pasta tasted bland.

    Restaurant was nicely decorated and presented. Staff were attentive. The food was really nice and tasty. Disappointing that when the 2 children in the group requested chips instead of rice, this could not be accommodated as they had run out of potatoes. No option given as a substitute

    Christmas Day tbf. Staff amazing. Most of food amazing. Could've been hotter. Very christmassy and friendly which was nice. Turkey in slabs not sliced - but that's personal preference. More sprouts and carrots 🥕 preferred and there was no cauliflower cheese. Have previously had many excellent roast dinners here.

    We arrived and were shown to our table where there was a half eaten chicken bone I presume from the night before. The staff member apologised and removed it, blamed the cleaners and offered us a new table. Fair enough. Our main meal arrives I am a vegetarian and it looks like it contains meat. Luckily my friend isn’t so tried it for me and was able to confirm that yes it contained meat. It was replaced for the vegetarian version and this time it was the kitchen who were to blame. I would avoid if you have food allergies as this mistake could literally cost you your life! So as you can imagine we won’t be returning.

    The DJ and vibe was good but the food was quite a lot less than when friends have previously been for brunch and there was only a choice of 3 cocktails, there was definitely more on the website when I booked. Seems expensive for £65 a person.

    New to The Med and such an enjoyable and awesome experience. Four in our party who were unanimous with our enjoyment of the food and the atmosphere in general. Wonderful friendly service and discussion of the food with a most knowledgeable waitress. Two delicious courses from a very varied menu that should suit all tastes including vegans. Thank you everyone at “The Med”

    Overall the service was excellent; however the lady responsible for welcoming guests was not very helpful in offering to check our coats and seemed engrossed with her laptop. The gentleman server was really helpful and the very kind gesture of a birthday cake (slice) and complimentary drinks was very much appreciated. Will definitely return as the service and food is wonderful.

    This was my first visit to The Med. The food was amazing and even though it was early evening, the atmosphere was great. Cool music, super friendly welcome and I look forward to checking out the Sunday roast. Can't recommend The Med highly enough. Thanks for a lovely evening.
