    The food was lovely. But it was very busy and you didn’t have enough staff on. They did the best they could and were rushing to serve everyone as quick as they could. Took 30 mins for our drinks to come and extras on my mums meal were missing. Were so busy my mum said don’t worry but take it off the bill which they did. Should have been more staff for amount of bookings. Was prob busier than normal due to performance at Deco. But should have known from bookings more staff were needed.

    We went for a pre theatre meal and the service started v well but when the Press became full about an hour later , they really struggled to cope and service became too slow.

    Been a couple of times now food and drink are great, my only gripe is that although staff are very lovely and polite sevice can be slow at busy times. Value for money and great atmosphere. Will be going back.

    Even from outside, the large pile of trash, broken furniture and boxes should have been a sign of what waited for us inside. There were three tables. The service was incredibly slow and the food was only fair. It took us nearly 30 minutes to get our lunch. The server was regularly outside smoking.

    I’ m a regular customer. I love the burgers and the fries, but last time my child tried the Mac and cheese. Horrible taste. Also, even if we have been at 4:30 and immediately ordered the food, we didn’t get the child free meal.

    For everybody who comes just for a drink probably best place ever for the evening, but if you come for a food-it is awful unfortunately. Chicken burned, you literally don’t know if it is fish or chicken or just smth burnt you are eating. Service not the best as well. Slow, mixed up everything-first came starter, then drinks, then mains. And instead of alkohol free beer for the driver we got regular beer.

    Initial service was very good, however several items were unavailable on the menu due to a delivery not turning up, which was not the fault of the staff and for which they were very apologetic. Our food and drinks arrived promptly and was very good, everyone enjoyed their choices. After our main courses were served the restaurant got very busy, and the staff struggled to maintain service. It seemed obvious there were not enough staff to meet demand. No one approached our table once our mains had been served to check if we required anything else. Despite this we would be happy to return in the future as the quality of food matched the reasonable price, and there was something for everyone including decent vegan options.
