Not very nice and very overpriced I'm afraid to say. A can of ginger beer that would be 60-80p in a shop brought to the table with a glass and charged £3.50 - daylight robbery! Southern stack burger supposed to be served with "hash browns" had one soggy undercooked hash brown and the southern fried chicken, "goujon" is only how I can describe it, was over-cooked and dry, so dry it was inedible at each end so only the middle bit was any good. I can only surmise that this being a 24hr restaurant they're used to serving people who are drunk after a night out and don't care what they're eating. My friend had a veggie burger that she said she'd had better from Iceland and had to change her cutlery as it was dirty! The only good thing I can say is the staff were polite and the service was quite quick. Overall though really disappointing and won't be eating here again.

Avoid this place, we got there with a booking to be told by an annoyed staff member "we don't take bookings" we were then seated, the restaurant, wasn't overly nice, had much higher expectations the toilet was a little shack in the corner of the restaurant,, the starters were good, however the main course was pretty bad, avoid the all day breakfast if you do come here. staff are also quite rude and the general level of service isn't great.

We picked this restaurant due to the variety on the menu-the food was amazing! Good sized portions,food came out hot and we were all happy with our choices.

The service that myself and my guest received from Kane was top tier. The bar staff however got our drink order incorrect as we didn’t want alcohol in our drinks but turned up with alcohol. We then received our food after 30 minutes of waiting and was instantly underwhelmed by the food appearance. The food unfortunately had no taste. After speaking to the manager on site, he apologised for the food and blamed the chef’s and lack of experience and time. We was offered tequila shots for compensation but we refused as we do not drink alcohol and still had to pay the entire bill. I would never attend this establishment again. Very disappointed.

Terrible service. Had to ask to order, one meal was missing and had to ask for it to be brought out. The salad had the wrong cheese on when it was eventually brought out. Main courses were poor, not tasty. Had to ask again to order dessert and to top it off the bill was incorrect. Would never go back.

We really enjoyed our brunch at your restaurant and would return. However, one person in our party had Celiac Disease and there really wasn’t a very good choice for her which was disappointing. I hope this will improve going forward as all restaurants should cater well for people’s diet restrictions. Thank you

VQ used to be my first choice of restaurant but I was dissapointed on this visit as the waitress brought the starter and main course out at the same time! She seemed really confused when we asked for the main to be served after we had eaten our starters and returned the main meal to be kept hot until we were ready - by which time it was luke warm, so not enjoyable.
