Franklins - Menu

A Lordship Lane institution, very good food, phenomenal staff. Ciao Dorota!

Excellent lunch choice, Good variety in menu and busy enough midweek/midday for an upbeat atmosphere.

Best dry vodka martini I’ve ever had. The twist was very elegant. Made by a charming young man called Archie View menu

Wine was great! Food was just OK. I’m a vegetarian and the only vegetarian main felt like a leftover type brunch not what you’re after for a Sunday meal.

This is a family favourite! Very accommodating with kids and there is always something on the menu that my toddler would like plus excellent chips and sides. We like the ever changing seasonal menu and the food is top notch and fresh.

Thoroughly enjoyed the an evening of delicious food. The chicken terrine, venison and the pudding from the Christmas menu were all superb, and very reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and attentive and a busy but pleasant atmosphere. View menu

Ate lunch here today for the second time in a couple of weeks. Franklins has been a frequent venue for special occassions for us over the years and maintains it's excellent level of quality and service. The set lunch option is incredible value for money and the evening meals make for a lovely setting with friendly service. The food is lovingly and freshly prepared on premises, with an interesting menu, differing from many offerings. They have an excellent, well-priced wine list and have the knowledge to provide recommendations. Every time I go, I am bowled over by how friendly and professional everybody is. Highly recommend.

Not a word was spoken to us when it was literally slapped down on table. Even though we have spent in here on drinks all of a sudden you feel like your not welcome as someone has requested to sit on the table in the bar area to have food when the restaurant part of the establishment is empty. I don’t know about you but I think you should not be able to be just turfed off a table when you’re spending good money. Total spoiled the evening and will never drink here again

I went to Franklins to treat my Mum to a Valentine’s Day dinner. Staff, particularly the waitress serving us, were initially friendly and we were seated quickly. Our orders were taken quickly but it was downhill from there. We had to wait over 20 mins to receive our drinks and I noticed the couple next to us that were seated a good 15 mins after us were already drinking from a bottle of wine. We waited over 45 minutes for our starters and were only served after we asked (the couple next to use were served their starters before us). Similar to our starters, we had to wait over 30 mins for our main and we had to ask for updates twice. We were told the kitchen were having issues and I was offer... View menu
