    Visited Kitten to celebrate a birthday with family, we are a mixed aged group of 6 and eat out quite regularly and appreciate nice food, the menu offered a good variety and was what we expected however the quality was very poor. I opted for the salmon which was very overcooked, the rolls were average and none of the diners felt the food was worth the £315.00 it costs. Wont be revisiting. No one asked if we were happy with the food that appears in large plastic tubs from the back and arranged on a plate. Even when I left the meal i had to tell the waitress, who was vert pleasant that it was overcooked. All in all a poor experience which was a shame.

    Food was a lot better than expected, would recommend the dragon rolls and the pork hashbrowns. Marion our server was extremely attentive and made us fell very welcome and was lovely to all guests she was serving. The food was great value for money with the 50% off deal, maybe feels harsh to say it would have been different for full price as it was good but would have been very expensive if full price.

    I was super excited about my visit after seeing so many amazing posts on social media. But unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to the hype. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, but we had a bit of a rough time. We had to place our order multiple times because our server seemed to forget what we had already ordered. And when it was finally recorded, some of the items we wanted weren’t available. When we finally got our food, it was okay, but nothing special. On the bright side, they took our drinks off our final bill, which was a nice touch. But overall, it was a bit of a letdown.

    Mega as it always has been…. So haven’t been here for almost 9 months due to work commitments outside of the country but let me tell you this places hasn’t changed one bit. We all know it’s a beautiful setting but once you stopped papping everything on your table to show all your friends , family & acquaintances that your “living your best life” the rest of it all really does come into play. The service was as warm as ever, happy, content, smily yet also informative & helpful. The food, well please, ordered 9 dishes (yeah yeah yeah I know but what can I say) and ever one was incredible. A special shout out to the ‘magic mushrooms’ no im not a veggie or vegan, no they didn’t out me into a state of hallucination but euphoria YES! What I’m saying is maybe somethings go out of your normal ordering style because this place doesn’t miss, EVER, Thanks again to all, and I will see you again soon ✌🏼

    Blonde on the door didn’t even look up to greet us and had a face on her later in the night when we asked for something- poor customer service skills. Been here before and ordered the steak medium and it came more medium rare (no issue then as we didn’t mind), this time we ordered the same steak and it came between medium well and well. When we asked to return and have a new one cooked the waiter took the steak back stared at it a while, discussed with others and then came back to the table to tell us it WAS cooked medium and that it was just the sauce on top making it look more cooked. Then said it was the lighting. They then asked us if we’d tried it and I already had but the rest of the table didn’t- so they then did. The entire table then decided we wanted the steak more pink. We were then told a new steak could be made but as there was an offer currently on all food, the unwanted steak could not be taken off the bill and we’d have to pay for two. Obviously we were not going to agree to this and left it even though there’s absolutely no correlation with discounted food and the kitchen messing up a dish and needing to remake- I wasn’t aware that courtesy goes out of the window if there’s a deal on, it’s unheard of because it’s absurd. Took the service charge off. The young black waitress we had was lovely though. Attached two photos of steaks both considered ‘medium’.

    Aesthetically it was very pleasing, however the food was a disappointment and the man who seated us said he would bring us some water, but it was not brought and we had to ask again. Staff were not friendly either. Would not recommend.
