"Nipped in for a quick bite on a Friday evening. We went up to what looked like the restaurant bar and asked if it was possible to get a table but were directed to the main bar to ask about this. The place was packed- getting served at the internal bar would have been a bit of a fight. Had a similar experience on a visit here before because there's not much space around the bar so you tend to get an impenetrable crowd instead of any sort of line. Eventually managed to get the attention of a member of staff and were told the restaurant was fully booked, however we could sit outside and order food at the bar to our outside table. Would have saved us some time if that was communicated through the team and relayed by the first person we asked instead of sending us to queue elsewhere. We did order to an outside table, and the food was excellent. The small pizzas really are quite small. But if you have a couple of sides they're perfect to not overstuff you. If you want to just eat pizza probably get a large. Also they had really interesting topping selections on the pizzas- I had the spiced aubergine, creme fraiche and honey. It was absolutely delicious. The chips were hot and well seasoned, the greek salad also really nice- I did miss the addition of peppers and would possibly remove the pea shoots and sub in the peppers to improve this and keep it more authentic though. Drinks were nice and the atmosphere inside was quite cosy and outside had a nice vibe with the tasteful lightning and wooden furniture. Would definitely return (but probably make a reservation. It's busy for a reason!"

"Was hoping for a comfortable early evening meal for the family on Saturday. Could not book an Apriary table because it was a themed Caribbean night . Never mind, let 's go! 3 things spoilt it: virtually no seating left, incredibly noisy – due to music and density of people, and took absolutely ages – 50 minutes – to order then get food! But my airline mutton and rice was tasty; staff were friendly. Unlikely to return."

"We were visiting Donnington Race Circuit and decided to have a chinese. We ate in here, and it was amazing! The food was delicious, and lots of it, we loved the spinny circle in the middle of the table, allowing us all to share and try new meals. The service was great and we loved the pink glitter sink in the ladies ️ I've saved it for next time we visit Service: Dine in"

"Booked table for 7pm and looking forward to a lovely home cooked meal. My partner had pork and I decided to have the lamb carvery. Once sat with our meal I started with the roast potatoes which were very Luke warm and had gone rubbery due to them being left standing for some time and didn’t taste that good either. I asked my partner to try his and his were the same, I moved on to veg which hey you guessed luke warm. So I took it downstairs and said the meal was luke warm. I was asked if I wanted a fresh plate with vegetables but really at this point I’d lost my appetite. If I wanted cold/luke warm food I’d have chosen a salad. One of the waitresses came back up to our table and I was told that the chef had he checked the temperature of the food on the plate I had returned and said it was within the temperature guideline for food service. Sorry but I think you need a new food thermometer or check your eye sight. My partner ate his although Luke warm as he’d been out all day driving was hungry. When we went down to pay the same waitress sorted our bill out, making a big deal she hadn’t charged me for the lamb carvery, I thanked her very much and said it was so kind as not to have charged (I hadn’t eaten anything apart from half a roast potato and a slice of carrot) so customer service I’d give 10/10. We weren’t offered any other refund which for this drops the customer service dropped to 3/10. I wouldn’t recommend this place, the setting is pleasant, service could have been better and there are no prices on the menus so go with an open pocket. I would recommend you take a thermometer with you as you don’t want a Dickie Tummy from eating contaminated food."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining here for dinner, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The meal was priced between £20 and £30 per person, which I found to be quite reasonable given the quality. **Food:** 5/5 Every dish was delicious, but I highly recommend trying the Chicken Tikka and Jalfrezi. They were both bursting with flavor, and the pickles perfectly complemented the meal. **Service:** 5/5 The service was outstanding. The staff was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcomed throughout our visit. **Atmosphere:** 5/5 The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and pleasant, creating the perfect setting for a lovely dinner. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!"
