"We arrived at about 3.30 pm on a Sunday, it is known to be very busy on Sundays, but my partner who is Autistic is happy enough to sit in this place, because the seats are well spaced apart from each table, and this helps his Claustrophobia problems and the lighting is yellow rather than white, it has a good ambiance feel inside. A really high ceiling with lanterns and Ikea lighting. It's a lovely place to grab a bite to eat and relax. the bar is particularly good and the service is as quick as they can work, which is pretty slick! I had a mocktail and they do some amazing drinks and an all-day breakfast, which is a good size at a reasonable price. My partner plummeted for the Burger and again, it all came out well presented, service with a smile. They also come around later to ask you if everything is ok and offer to top up drinks. The setup is, to find a table or be seated at busy times, the menus are on the table, you choose what you want and take the table number with you to the Bar, so you can place an order and pay for it immediately, there are no tabs left open in this place. The Bar with snacks and meals is run mainly by students and young people. But the service is excellent and nothing is too much trouble. As we don't live in the area anymore, we don't frequent this place, but I found it on a whim one day, looking for somewhere to sit and get a drink, and wandered in. It is in St Stephens Place, in Trowbridge. It is a complex of the Odeon Cinema and a number of different cuisine restaurants and bars. In the summer months, there is seating outside, but this is very numbered. Beware that pets are allowed in this place, so you may end up sitting with a dog nearby. It is your choice to use the Lounge, but all Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and also kept quiet. Prices for food are competitive, there is a lot of Mexican food on the menu and they can be very hot! Drinks are a little pricier, it doubles up as a wine bar in the evening and other alcoholic beverages."

"We 've had really good visits to the Willy Wicket in the past but the most recent visit was a major disappointment. Arrived at noon for lunch on a weekday but staff were not ready to receive guests and we had to ask to be seated. When I asked about the lunchtime menu which was advertised online, staff were unable to locate or produce a paper menu for us to look at. Food for 3 people took over 40min to arrive and only after we enquired about it. We were the first table to order that lunchtime but another table was served before us. When I queried this, the supervisor was very abrupt in her response and said this was because we had ordered a steak (I didn 't think it took that long to cook a steak, even a well-done one! . She seemed to imply that the delay was our own fault for ordering the steak in the first place but none of the staff had made it clear that the steak would take that long to cook. We had intended to stay for dessert but after being given dessert menus, nobody came back to take our orders so we ended up leaving after paying at the bar (again because there was nobody around to ask for the bill . The supervisor studiously avoided us for the rest of our visit and did not check back in with us at any point afterwards. I submitted a complaint after the visit but there was no apology forthcoming or reassurance that the issues I highlighted would be addressed, only a voucher for £10 which felt a bit like a 'payoff ' to keep me quiet. £10 barely covers the price of one main meal! I don 't think we 'll be back again in the future given our recent experience which is a shame because previous visits have been lovely especially when Charlotte and her team were waiting tables."
