Excellent lunch, food good and huge portions. Very flexible about timing as there was an accident on the M25 so our friends arrived late. Allowed us to sit and chat for 5 hours!!! No complaints at all, the opposite :)

The front of house at the desk didn't look happy to be working, but the serving staff for our table, he was brilliant; the cocktails went down a treat, had to ask for the pitta bread and dips, the food was mediocre different textures, the ends of the shish was nice but the more you got to the middle was a rubbery texture, probably needed a few more minutes on the coals. Lovely restaurant the decor is 🩷

Me and my husband visited The Med for the first time last night and was extremely happy with the food and the very friendly staff. The only slight downside was the fact that we were sat next to a table of 8 people so it was pretty noisy. That said it has not deterred us from visiting again as the food was delicious and the staff fab 👍

Superb lunch at a very reasonable price. We had a table for 4 celebrating our daughters birthday. We were looked after by Olivia, Geoffrey and the chef Stavros. After our meal my daughter was treated to a celebratory Baklava with candle and a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday. Rebooked for our anniversary later this month.

Food and service was great but 7 of us crammed into one of the booths was a bit of a squeeze! We asked for a chair which made things easier.

The restaurant was empty at 1pm unfortunately the chef had really spiced up the cabbage & roast potatoes on our roast, so didn’t really enjoy our lunch. Service was exceptional though.

We booked the Med Friday evening for dinner drinks & DJ, but as they weren't fully booked the DJ was cancelled, but they didn't notify us of this before hand, therefore changing our plans for the evening having to get taxi's after dinner to go elsewhere to carry on our evening! Additional expense there! The food was very good and delicious but we were offered Turkish bread, after we ordered our food, but this was added to the bill at the end, even though we didn't order it £16!! 😳 We had a 15% discount which they offered via email, but this wasn't on our bill at the end soo we had to ask for this to be added in, as if they were chancing us not noticing. It was my birthday and my friends, which our guests asked for a little something for a special treat/dessert, which they said would be complimentary, but we were charge for one! when we queried this, they said only one would be complimentary, which they didn't say at the time of the request, as we could have shared! All in all a sneaky few charges added to the already large bill, soo a little disappointed they would try it on! I wouldn't go back even though the food was very good!
