The service was good and the place was not too crowded. I’ve not been to City Place for an evening meal before but would definitely go again.

Great service too, from the waiter in training. Delicious wine and vegan chocolate brownies.

One of us tried the vegan steak and vegan peppercorn sauce. They were extremely impressed. We are returning next week with more friends - yes we’re eager to share the experience. I might try the vegan steak myself. Substantial portions - so tasty and beautifully presented and value for money. Thank you again Michael and team

Excellent and very attentive service (really helpful bearded ginger guy, didn’t catch his name) which really made the experience! Food was delicious and such good value - only £29.95 for three courses with a generous sized fillet steak as a main (cooked to perfection). Will definitely return. Nice to see a local business offering something different.
