"Booked a table in the attic for dinner. We were promptly surrounded by half cut punters shouting and swearing who had been diverted up from the bar downstairs. This is unacceptable and disrespectful to customers who have come specially for dinner. It should either be...a restaurant space or a pub, not both. It didn 't get much better... I 'm bring generous to say the servers were poor at their job. The were disinterested to the point of being arrogant. Very much gave the impression of being students who had no interest in doing their job. Put down soup and dessert without noticing we had no spoons!! The table next to us had to repeatedly go to the bar to ask for missing cutlery too. After having to go to the sering station to ask for condiments we were given an empty salt shaker! Food was literally dumped down and slid along the table, canteen style. The mussels starter was the only good part of the meal but spoiled a bit by the fact the clueless servers didn 't bring a dish for used shells, meaning I couldn 't really get into the sauce beneath (leaving aside the fact they didn 't bring a spoon! and there was no hot water brought to clean my fingers. Fish and chips was passable but overpriced at £14. Worth a tenner at best. The 'mountain burger ' was an absolute joke. It looked like a kids meal from Wetherspoons; similar to the picture below by another reviewer. The burger and chips were straight from the frozen catering catalogue. The night was summed up by the horrible sight of the boss publicly dressing down one of the servers in the middle of the restaurant. He was almost face to face with her, puffing his feathers out and finger pointing. At one point a customer who was walking past to the toilet tried to intervene because it was getting so uncomfortable. He was responded to with : it 's OK, I 'm the owner. I don 't care how poorly somebody is at doing their job, nobody has the right to take liberties like that. The irony is that he was obviously pulling her up for something to do with the tables of drinkers as he clearly hadn 't noticed the standard of restaurant food and service. On that note; it 's not a good look for an owner to be boozing in his own establishment and rise to his feet to play the boss card just to look like a big shot."

"I had not visited Roxy's Bistro since the Covid-19 lockdown. I went with a lifelong friend on a whim around midday with the intention of having a drink. We were excited to see Roxy and she visited our table and offered us the menu. We ordered drinks and the menu sparked our appetite. We ended up selecting items for a hearty late English breakfast which was always delicious and filling without being greasy. The locally produced sausages were particularly tasty. My friend noticed Roxy coming out of the kitchen with a plate of fish and chips, which he decided to try since it was priced at £8, similar to the breakfast items he had ordered. We placed our order for fish and chips as Roxy returned with our drinks. The fish and chips came out in a separate batch. My friend was not exaggerating about the size of the fish. The golden battered fish stretched practically the length of the plate and was thicker than anything I had seen from a fish and chip shop. It was served on a bed of homemade chips with a side of mushy peas and tartar sauce. The taste matched the presentation and we left feeling very satisfied. I highly recommend Roxy's for their high standards of quality meals, competitive prices, impeccable service, and 5-star hygiene rating. I am strongly considering renting Roxy's Bistro for a private birthday party to celebrate my retirement, and I am leaning towards having a buffet so that my friends can mingle and socialize. It would be a great experience to be served by the owner herself."
