"as part of the birthday party of a friend I was invited to a meal in frankie bennys. we were a large group of about 6 8 people and the staff could simply sort a group table for us directly in the middle of the restaurant. my friend, who used to be at franky benny, suggested that I try the warm garlic balls as starter. they receive about 4 6 teig balls in one part and they offer them pots of garlic paste. I have to say that I was absolutely addicted to her garlic paste and the teigballs tasted amazingly once immersed in her, I recommend definitiw to get it as an appetizer! I then ordered the classic steak and chips, the around £12, so cheap and cheerful. I rarely like my steak medium and they were quite banged up. it's not the best steak I've ever had, but for this price it wasn't bad at all. we decided that we wanted to surprise the birthday child and that personal asked if they could help us. they assured us that they will do something while our desserts were prepared. next we know that the music in the restaurant changed into a happy birthday song and they brought out a cake with an illuminated candle and encouraged us all to sing. it was really a good experience for all of us and especially for the birthday child. I was at frankie benny’s several times later and my only recommendation is that if they go with a large group of family members, then avoid changing as the waiting times can be very long. however (if they ask nicely) employees can happily take their number and give them a call when they prepare a table for them. this gives them the opportunity to stay away from the packed restaurant and enjoy a game with pool or air hockey, next door in the arcade."

"We decided to eat at crust because it was rated one of the best pizzas in the UK. Not sure if was the best I’ve ever had but it was certainly up there. I ordered the crust pizza which is a sourdough pizza with a sweet potato purée base with mozzarella, smoked cheese and pancetta. Obviously a sweeter pizza than the traditional tomato base but I really liked it. The only negative I would say was that it was difficult to cut without making a mess of the pizza. I am not sure if that was because it was either a little bit soggy, the knives weren’t sharp enough or my cutting skills were sub-par (maybe a combination of all three)? The rest of the party also enjoyed their pizza, however, we may have liked it more if we hadn’t had enormous starters. Two of the party had this garlic and mushroom dish (can’t remember the name of it) and it was delicious and probably the highlight of the meal. It wasn’t until after we ordered that we realised that what we ordered didn’t come under the starters section. We can only assume that they were a sharing starter or main in its self. I had focaccia for first course which was lovely but I feel that it wasn’t fully cooked as the melted cheese was cold and the onions weren’t very caramelised which they were supposed to be. We ordered cheesecake jars for dessert however we had to take them home as we were all full to the brim. When we eventually ate them they were scrumptious. Overall we had a really good evening with tasty food. The waiters were very friendly and welcoming but we did notice that not all staff were very glued up on the menu."
