"One redeeming feature was the service, waiter attentive and friendly, food delivered to us promptly. Unfortunately I cannot say such nice things about the food. Starters were the Doughballs and Calamari, both of which were pretty average. The 'herb butter ' (or whatever the dip for the Doughballs is called) was very bland, only serving to give the Doughballs a greasy texture. No complaints about the Calamari, but I won 't be rushing to recommend it to anyone. The mains however, were bad. We ordered the Beef Burger and the Italian Hot Pizza. The Burger was dripping in mayo, and I mean properly dripping think of a Christmas pudding with icing dribbling down the sides, that 's what this burger looked like. Fries served with the Burger were noticeably microwaved, but the Patty and Veg were passable. The Italian Hot is visually appealing, and the pizza base is okay, but my god were the toppings bland. If it wasn 't for my eyesight and a vague taste of cheddar cheese or monterey Jack, I would not be able to tell if I was eating warm soggy cardboard or a Pizza. I should note that the pizza is only topped by mozzarella, according to the menu. Thoroughly dull food, and quite overpriced for the quality. Why am I writing this? What did I expect, from a chain restaurant? Well, a lot more than this. I 'm by no means a fussy eater and certainly not one to leave 1/5 review for a soggy pizza base in Frankie and Benny 's. The real sin of this meal is what it does to the gut my partner and I feel physically ill after eating here, like we want to go home and eat lettuce for the rest of our lives to detox our bodies. It 's bad, and absolutely not worth the money. If you 're hungry, go to Tescos and get a meal deal, it 's much tastier, healthier, and reasonably priced. It 's not worth it."

The service from the waiter was excellent as he tried to fix any issues, but the food was terrible. Some items were missing from our plates and others in our group had to wait a long time for their food to arrive. The gesture of 10% off our bill was just not enough to make up for the overall disappointing experience.

It was a bustling Bank Holiday Monday and due to Covid 19 restrictions on customer numbers, we were grateful that Frankie and Benny’s accommodated our reservation. We opted for the delectable Ultra Macaroni cheese with bacon (£10.80) and the Caesar Salad with chicken (£11.40). Both dishes were delicious, although it seemed like the Caesar dressing was missing from the salad. I also ordered a large glass of Shiraz (£7.00) and a garlic bread starter, but unfortunately the garlic bread only arrived after our main course. To finish off, I indulged in a tasty Tiramisu. The friendly and attentive waiter apologized profusely for the oversight with the starter and promptly waived any charges for the...
