    We had a 6pm reservation for two people, arrived on time and ordered shortly after. The drinks and starters were fine but the main courses never arrived. Eventually, at around 7:30pm we had to leave as we had somewhere to be at 8pm. We paid for our drinks and starters but left very, very disappointed and hungry. There was no apology from the person running front of house and no indication that this type of experience is totally unacceptable.

    The Thai food is lovely here and the service is great. The building is beautiful, very Victorian and is worth a visit to look at it and have a drink at the bar, even if you don't like Thai food! We love going here and is our place for special occasions. Don't be put off on the Aston location, it is worth a visit!

    Have been a customer at the Bartons for approx 20 years and have always enjoyed the Thai food there. Wouldn't keep returning if we didn't enjoy it. As someone who has travelled in Thailand many times and as a retired, international Chef, I feel qualified to comment so positively.

    Great food, amazing portions, real value for money, and very friendly service. The old features of the original building have been kept and adhered to with any structural/physical updates, making for a dining experience with character.
