"The staff were wonderful, and the restaurant was bustling, with only one empty table available. We had a bit of trouble explaining celiac disease and initially chose a meal that we were later told would be missing two sides. However, those sides weren't actually needed, as there was plenty of food, and everything tasted fantastic. The restaurant stayed busy throughout the evening, and the menu was extensive. Overall, it was a lovely night out."

"One of my best destinations for Italian cuisine. They are unique with their selection of fresh pasta and tasty sauces. I ordered Spaghetti Bolognese, gamberettie spinaci, and fungi pizza. I liked the pasta, but the pizza was not as good because the mushrooms were not fresh, they were canned mushrooms. Also, they don't service katchup for some reason, so I didn't enjoy the pizza at all. Finally, I ordered a chocolate moose dessert, it was good as well."

"I had a great experience at the Blue Legume. It was quite busy on Sundays for brunch, so even though we had a reservation, we had to wait a bit. However, the wait was not too long. The brunch was delicious and reasonably priced. We had 2 Mediterranean Brunches and 4 coffees, which came to £24. The decor and atmosphere were beautiful, and I would definitely recommend it for brunch or a nice weekend lunch. We were able to enjoy our meal for over 3 hours without feeling rushed or asked to leave, which was great for us, but may have contributed to the long queues."

"Cozy space, friendly servers and nice service, but food was terrible. My fiance and I shared a barbecue chicken pizza and a calzone — the calzone was okay but rather unremarkable (especially for the price), but the pizza was just awful: far too salty, barely any trace of proper barbecue, and without any exaggeration at all the chicken bits tasted of fish instead of actual chicken. Did not want to cause any fuss so I didn 't bother speaking to a manager after being offered the option after giving feedback — this is the first and last time I 'll be dining here."

"We have had multiple brunches at this restaurant and they have all been excellent! The pancakes are delicious, as well as the eggs with hashbrowns. Smiley face."
"Interesting Italian restaurant, the idea is that you order food at a counter and have it made fresh in front of you. The staff were very friendly and nice. But the downside of the model is that you do spend a lot of time standing around waiting for your food, whereas you may prefer to be able to sit down if you've been walking around a lot. It was nice to have such fresh pasta prepared in front of me though. If you order a pizza you do get a buzzer to take back to your table."

"Good food and great service. Had a table booked for midday with my son, we’re greeted promptly and shown to our table, couldn’t fault the service at all. Drinks were ordered and turned up quickly, we were slow in choosing our dishes due to the range of dishes available. Eventually we ordered starters of crispy fried mozzarella and king prawn gnocchi, followed by chicken Alfredo rigatoni and rigatoni alla rustica. Not long to wait and food was fresh cooked and hot, decent sized portions and very tasty. I had two pints of Birrifico Angelo Poretti and my boy a pint of Rekorderlig mixed berries cider, was a bit taken back when the bill turned up at nearly £71. Good food, great service but in my opinion on the expensive side for a lunch."

"visits with a buy a gift voucher, which allows us to make two three meals from a set menu. we waited 5 minutes or so on a Sunday night when there were no more than 10 people in the restaurant. we also needed a gluten-free version of the set menu, which meant that we had to use the website to crossmatch what was included in the set menu to see what was gf. we had to order via the website. we asked a server about ordering gluten free and they had no idea how we should do that. the food was excellent and the portions were generous for a set menu. the main issue came with the bill. we presented the voucher and we were then notified to the voucher only a set menu. not what the credit card said and we were asked to pay the rest. the server came back a few times to ask us to pay and then talked to a colleague. they have worked out that the order by the website, coupled with the gluten free options not considered, it was a set menu order. it would have been better if the personal used the old-fashioned ordering method that tends to work better. especially in the nutritional requirements. it was solved, but we were made to feel like we were wrong. my advice would be if they have a good license, ask to order personally to avoid frustration. the food was excellent."

"I went with my team to have a lunch , we were 4 people in total. The place was empty. Only two of the staff was there. We ordered pretty simple foods soups and main courses. Soups came relatively quick. The place was still empty when we finished our starters. Then, we had to wait more than 30 min for our main courses. In the meantime three other tables were sat and they had their food almost immediately. We were still waiting .... Then after a long wait we were served a dry risotto that was literally cold, I thought most probably heated and stayed for sometime outside but inside was cold too. My team received cold food too. I didn’t finish my risotto as it was horrible. One guy from my team finished his fish although the garnish was cold as he was very hungry. I told the server that we weren’t happy and that the food was cold. He said:”ok, thanks”?!!? Then we asked for the bill which was £110 that I found very expensive for his experience. They will never see us again obviously, but be warned that this is NOT the place to go if you’re looking for a proper Italian cuisine.. so disappointed! Extremely!!!!"

"What a lovely find. From the start the staff were friendly taking us to our table. The restaurant is warm and friendly and clean it was nice to see that they still offered hand sanitizer at the table which my friends were happy about). The menu was small but perfect offering a variety of starters, mains and desserts for all pallets. There were 6 of us on a Saturday night. We all had different starters of which mine, the avocado and prawns was big, the prawns fresh and meaty and the sauce was a plenty. My husband had the monk fish tempura which he said was very tasty. Out of 6 of us 4 of us had the steaks on the hot stone A MUST. Delicious!! The waitress was very keen to explain how the meat continues to cook on the stone so ensured we asked for the meat finish we wanted ensuring that the steak didn't over cook. There was a slight misunderstanding between the kitchen and the order ie a few side dishes were incorrect. Before we could even say anything to be honest it was fine) the waitress said all sides would be free I mean that was so kind of her and made us very happy. All sides including the potatoes and veg were delish and the other 2 who had veal were also very happy. I must admit we were stuffed and couldn't manage desserts but they did sound and look lovely. Overall I would highly recommend for any night of the week for it's food, its customer service and for somewhere a little different Well done all at Ray's we'll be back"

"Imagine, four adults and three kids (all under 10) rock up after winning 1800 tickets at the arcade and then then fancying some scran. The youngest and eldest were both hangry. Sad times. We gave Prezzo a bell and they said they’d take us in despite my dismal displays (I didn’t get over 100 even with the rails up for bowling). The geezer took us all in even though we had excitable adults and served us in no time. Thankfully, there was a Geordie geezer who we all understood and he was a legend. He humoured us and was patient. Funny ‘n’ all. Had a full on meal and we were pushing it to get our train. Of course, someone wanted pudding. The geordie legend sorted us out in seconds and got the lollies sorted. I’d have given a massive tip if I hadn’t have spent a small fortune trying to get a sloth from a claw machine"

"We were seated where we had requested when booking, following a really friendly welcome. We chose the lunchtime special menu, which turned out to be excellent value. A choice of 2 or 3 courses, which included a wine, beer or soft drink, and a choice of hot beverage to finish. All main courses and starters were prepared freshly with really fresh ingredients, and were delicious. Thanks chef! We all enjoyed our 3 courses and drinks, served throughout by the very helpful, charming and friendly Roxanna. We all agreed that we had not enjoyed such a good value, fresh, and relaxing lunch in a long time. We'll be back."

"Booked a table for 6 for and upon arrival we were shoved in the corner with 3 makeshift tables. 1 square table, 1 wobbly round table and 1 smaller round table. When addressed the situation to the staff they rudely had stated that other table of 6 was reserved which had confused me. If I’m making a reservation through OpenTable since when could you allocate a table to yourself? So I stated this to staff and their tone of voice changed and rudely stated ‘the table is reserved and we only have your allocated table’. So in HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT we agreed to sit at our allocated makeshift table. Moments later the other party had arrived only to find out, it was the staff members friends/family. Even when placing our food and drinks order, staff were rude and inattentive. Very disappointing, wouldn’t recommend this restaurant at all."

"I enjoyed a bottomless brunch with a group of friends as part of our Christmas celebration. The drink selection was excellent, and they continuously refilled our glasses, always asking us first and keeping us informed about the timing. The two-course meal options were diverse, featuring a delightful salad and generous portions. If I remember correctly, we started with kofta, halloumi, feta and olives, and bruschetta. For mains, we had lamb, veggie moussaka, and chicken skewers. Everything was delicious!"

"Highly recommend The Ship. My Husband and I haven't been to the restaurant in awhile and we were happy we tried it again. We dined at the restaurant after attending a wake on Tuesday night and were shocked at the inexpensive prices for dinner for 2 it included a bottle of wine, salad, entrée and dessert all for $40.00. More importantly, the food was very good and we plan to dine there in the future."

"I have visited this restaurant a few times and have always enjoyed the jerk chicken, which is a perfect meal with no complaints. However, my most recent experience trying the beef Ramadan roast was disappointing. The beef was too rare for my liking, making it chewy and lacking in flavor without the jerk sauce. The Yorkshire puddings seemed to have a unique batter that didn't quite work, and the potatoes were stale. The vegetables and plantains were the best part of the meal. I ended up swapping with my friend's chicken from her Ramadan roast, which was a better choice. The lychee mocktail my friend had was lacking in lychee flavor and was bitter, but adding syrup helped improve the taste. This was the first time I left dissatisfied with the food at Guanabana. I would recommend sticking to options like the jerk chicken, as I have not tried it recently. The restaurant offers prayer space in the back outside, which I appreciated, and the customer service was efficient. Prices are reasonable."

"A truly fantastic restaurant. Been wanting to come here for ages and finally had the chance. It’s so nice going to a pub and not having to worry about which menu choices are vegan, because EVERYTHING is! Proper meaty pub classics, and great range of deserts too. I had the Juicy Marbles steak which was amazing. The homemade chips were lovely too. Deserts were beautiful too! Service was excellent. Dog friendly too. Very friendly team, and a lovely owner also. Will definitely be coming back. I wish them every success and a huge well done for having the guts to become a 100% vegan pub and restaurant. Thank you for a lovely meal and dining experience :"
