We went here for our staff Christmas meal on Thursday night (9-12-2021). The restaurant was insanely busy and the workers were constantly moving. But the service was incredible! We had the set meals and the food was really delicious (unlike most mass catered food). Those wonderful servers and bar staff definitely deserve a raise. Thank you from the tables on the platform by the entrance! ❤️🎅🎄

Nice fancy bar, decent decor. Knocked a star for the expense and slower service. Full of people from surrounding areas who like to wear tight tops and spend a lot of time in the gym. Very pleasant staff. As my gran would say “half these people these days wouldn’t know the difference between a Gordon’s and another gin. You could call it a Dave and they would pretend they were experts”

3/ 5

Lovely Christmas vibe and the bartender who made our drinks was very friendly and quick at serving. Fairly priced drinks too. Only downfall was the lady rudely going round asking people to move off tables last minute as they had been booked which was slightly unfair as we were told upon arrival that we could sit anywhere in the bar area. When I asked if there were any other tables free and if she could check she literally turned and looked behind her and went no sorry we are fully booked all night now haha barely looked and needs some customer service training I think!

5/ 5

I was really satisfied with our dinner here. There was a really warm and alive atmosphere but not crowded, the tables had a good space between them, thing that I'm thankful for lately as many places just put you so close to the next table even on the same table! The food was also very nice, wouldn't say amazing but still tasty, apart from the flatbread which was stone hard after 5 min. Staff was also very nice. Overall it was a good experience.
