    Perfect for Sunday lunch, Pea and mint soup, pan fried chicken breast with the usual lunch veggies. If there was one comment it would be make the cauliflower cheese saucier, it was nicely cooked and plenty of cheese on top, just need some sauce through it. Nice coffee and lovely service. Would I go back, absolutely yes.

    Okay experience at a Kylie event. Staff were doing their best but service could be improved overall and there was not enough staff onsite to cater to the numbers. Food was standard.

    Food was ok.. Very little presentation on the starters which I felt were average and overpriced. Main courses were better, but again felt like frozen food that had just been reheated. Service was pretty slow, but that wasn't the fault of the service staff, I think it was simply too busy for the number of colleagues on duty. Would I eat here again? Probably not. Would I recommend it to friends, no.

    The food was tasty and cooked well. The only major let down was the staff. No smiles, no checking if everything was ok, greeted with "you can only have house wine" fine but can we have red white or rose. It was if we were an inconvenience to them to be there.

    We ate outside service was below average from 3 different waiters. Steak was tiny but well cooked. Wouldn't rush back for the service. Definitely not worth a 10% service charge.

    Lovely food and friendly service. The set Sunday menu offers a good choice of starters and desserts and both the roast beef and chicken are lovely.

    My friend and I both went for lunch. Was the first time we had been here for lunch. We sat outside and staff were nice enough.We ordered food and a drink each. Whist eating our lunch half way through the waitress interrupted us too pay for the meal. I asked why as usually you would pay at the end. But she said it was restaurant policy. My friend and I are both hard working nurses and have families with young children. This was a rare occasion we got out by ourselves and it was completely ruined. We were really offended and insulted that we were interrupted whilst eating to pay for the meal. I will never be back.

    Dear Linda, Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear your visit didn’t meet expectations. To clarify, guests dining in the restaurant pay at the end of their meal. The terrace, while still part of the restaurant, is managed through the bar and mainly serves bar guests, so food and drinks are paid for at the time of ordering to help keep service running smoothly during busy periods. In your case, a new team member wasn’t aware of this and returned to take payment once they realised. We understand this may have felt disruptive, but it was not personal, and we apologise for the interruption. We truly appreciate the work you do and regret that your time out was affected. Kind Regards, Joshua A. Velvet Hotel, Bar & Brasserie
