In an area now firmly established as a foodie mecca, The Exhibition Rooms stands out for the quality of its cooking, freshness of its seasonal produce and the friendliness of its staff.

Our menu reflects the multicultural nature of modern Britain and utilises the finest British seasonal produce.

Whether it’s lamb in the spring or game in the autumn, our menu looks to the seasons for inspiration and often features dishes that don’t appear elsewhere.

The upstairs dining room with its long bar, leafy plants and polished dark wood floors provides a comfortable and relaxed environment that compliments our menu, and our Cocktail Lounge Bar and adjoining Courtyard offer a unique local venue for all types of private parties and social events.

    Great new menu. Food was beautifully cooked and presented. The restaurant is under new ownership and deserves to be a success.

    The roast dinners we had were very tasty and generous. All 4 of us were impressed with the food and cocktails. A lovely setting. The only slight negative was the service at times could be a little impersonal and slow. However, all in all we had a great meal.

    Food was poor and service was absent. Plates were literally dropped on the table without asking if we required anything, food was cold and of poor quality, chicken was tough and unpleasant to look at.

    We went on Mothers day which we know is a particularly time and feel that sitting down and no one coming over for 15 minutes was poor. we went and got a waiter to be asked what we wanted to order when he came over. we had no menus and no drinks. These were ordered and although took a while did not mind. We waited over a hour and a half for our food and then was told that there had been a mix up. we got the 7 meals of which all were warm not hot. We sent 3 back and they took away a steak which never came back The 3 dinners came back as they left just being put in the microwave which then made the beef not edible. We only really had 2 good dinners out the 7 and to be fair we only paid for 2. considering the restaurant was not full up the service was shocking and the quality of the dinners was really poor. Would not recommend at all ?? at the end no one even appologised, poor customer service

    The food was good and the atmosphere pleasant. However, service was far too slow. The waitress was pleasant and efficient but it took too lunch for the food to arrive.

    Sunday lunch was shockingly bad. Sadly the food has deteriorated dramatically. With so much choice in the area there's no need to go back again

    Hi sotosg and thanks for your review. I'm aware of a couple of issues - which I resolved amicably at the time with those diners - as I try to ensure everyone has a great time at Exhibition Rooms... I'd be most grateful if you could contact me directly and give me a chance to get to the reasons behind your review so I can improve future experiences for everyone? Thanks.

    Pretty awful throughout in truth. Couldn’t find any positives to detail. Food was bland and poorly prepared. Service was slack and disinterested.
    The Exhibition RoomsResponded on March 8, 2019
    Hi Amroussi, our Sunday lunch is by far our most popular and successful service and I think I spoke to each of the 120+ diners who joined us last weekend. I'd be delighted to discuss this with you further to get a better understanding of the issues so I can improve the experience for future customers. Please feel free to contact me directly so I'm able to do that? Thanks.

    The staff seemed confused when we walked in, didn’t know who to go to for our reservation. The waitress was good, very friendly. The food was not good. Triple cooked chips were more like reheated kebab chips and the risotto was bland. Far too expensive. Won’t go again
    The Exhibition RoomsResponded on March 8, 2019
    Really disappointed that you had such a poor experience Alice, though I'll confess I'm a tad confused as we don't have triple cooked chips on our menu and haven't since I took over on 1st February.
