Turned up on time and ready to enjoy a meal with my family at The Painted Lady on Saturday 20th November 2021. After confirming we would be there two days before, we turned up to find the whole place in darkness, no staff or signs up to explain why and no one to pick up the phone when we called. Considering the restaurant charge you for failing to turn up or cancel, we were very disappointed that there was no warning from them about a possible closure. We had to go somewhere else for our meal, which we were lucky to get into, due to the busy nature of the night. We were very very upset by this experience.

It was quiet and the waiters were watching us eat. It made us feel uncomfortable and they were there the second we finished with food. The waiter was cleaning our table before we had even paid the bill which was quite rude and gave the impression of being unwanted. The food itself was ok I had the chicken donner burger and my Mrs had the chicken and mushroom pasta, both were bland and the chicken tasted a little rubbery. We had visited the painted lady during lockdown and the service and food was amazing it was our first date out and couldn't be happier. This time round though it wasn't the same the quality had dropped and with waiters staring at you eating made us want to leave pretty quickly.

Went to the painted lady and one of our guests has a dairy and egg allergy. Although there’s things she can eat, the restaurant only has 1 fryer so could not cook anything separate. So everything this restaurant cooks is cooked in the same oil. So would not recommend if you have any intolerances. Staff were also not very helpful just telling us it would take 3 hours to clean the oil.

Food was ok, lamb was cooked perfectly. Not many people in for a Saturday night and shortly after we arrived they blared dance music out. We asked if they could turn it down, which they did a bit. Music definitely did not meet the setting.

Attentive staff who asked how long after our starters we would like our mains and also opened the door for us when we left, lovely hot food with a great choice on the menu, brilliant drink selection (best stocked bar I've ever seen in a restaurant/pub).

The staff we're friendly and prompt with taking our order and drinks. We had quite a long wait between starter's and main and the restaurant wasn't at all busy with a max of 5 tables/15 people eating. The food was ok, not sure rice and stir fry veg goes with a kebab however when we did ask for a salad the staff we're accommodating. The chicken was slightly rubbery however the chips we're really nice and so was the afters.

Food was lovely atmosphere was great. Social distancing was really bad table's were not 2m apart, staff walking around without masks. Table service.. what table service no one came over to ask how the food was or if we wanted another drink. Then they charged you £11.17 for service charge which is disgusting. Will not be going back again.

Overall the experience we had at The Painted Lady was friendly, relaxing and easy. The food was really nice, I had pasta and my date had lamb and both tasted good. The alcohol was a little steep in price but they were pretty good cocktails so it was worth it. I would recommend The Painted Lady 👍🏻
