"I had booked the restaurant based on the fact it seemed to have a good gluten-free menu there were even some dishes that could be adapted to be gluten free. I personally find the venue lacks atmosphere inside but that’s a personal opinion it was a bit more light and pleasant in the conservatory where we were sat. I made sure I told the waitress that I wanted the gluten free option as I had an allergy (I’m coeliac) and the dish I chose was one that could be adapted to be so. When it came it was a noodle/coconut dish, a bit like a coconut curry but all stuck to the noodles instead of being saucy. I wasn’t really much for it, but thats how it goes when you’re ordering something blind and you’ve not tried it before. I think when you pay a little bit extra at a place like Aston marina you probably expect a bit better. Anyway as soon as I got home I was very ill, I knew I had been glutenized. Then I was feeling ill all my weekend off and into the next week where I was still boated like a beach ball. I went in after work and complained politely. The manager completed a form and ultimately, credit to them they admitted that the noodles I had been given had not been gluten free after a short investigation. I was offered a £50 voucher as a goodwill gesture. Considering I had spent over £25 in there (with a pre meal drink) it was little compensation for being ill and totally ruining my weekend. However the manager who rang me back assured me that extra training would be given to staff so that really is the very best outcome that hopefully nobody else will get ill again. I have a lot of respect for the fact that they admitted to their mistake and confirmed that it did say on the order I’d requested gluten-free. I will use the voucher for drinks! I am satisfied with the outcome. Mistakes happen. I have been to places where a manager takes any order of a customer with an allergy and I’d recommend that as best practice."

Absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch here today. Service by Erin was first class, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about choices. Cannot recommend enough. We’ll be back!

Unfortunately, our Sunday lunch was very poor, the Beef was so tough we were unable to eat it, it had been sliced very thin but we were still unable to cut it. The vegetables were very good and so were the roast potatoes. Starter and...

We love it here. The Marina is lovely, very peaceful and beautiful. You can have a short walk around the Marina and the kids love looking at the Canal boats and Wildlife. The restaurant is lovely. Staff are friendly and food is gorgeous. View menu

We opted for winter set menu, the food was delicious and looked gorgeous, walnut pate delightful. We both had crab and prawn linguine and were expecting a smaller option due to being an offer £20 for 3 courses, wow We were surprised it was plenty...

We have a boat at the Marina and decided to visit for breakfast. WOW!! For £22 we had a full English which was beautiful, quality ingredients and beautifully presented. The oatcakes, a local delicacy, were the best I have had. Home made and asked to...

I had a wonderful evening celebrating my 50th birthday at this restaurant. The party of 10 was well organized and the service was quick. The food and drinks were delicious. Our server Immy was very attentive, efficient, and pleasant. The only downside was the limited selection of ales, with only one available, but it didn't spoil the night. View menu

I visited this restaurant today for Mother's Day lunch. The ambiance was perfect, the staff were excellent, and they offered a special 3-course menu with many options to choose from. We stayed at our table for over 2 hours and then enjoyed coffee in the bar area. There is plenty of outdoor seating for warmer days and it was nice to see all the narrow boats docked in the marina. I would love to visit again and highly recommend it to others.

We made a reservation for a late lunch after a shopping outing. The restaurant was not crowded and we were seated at a table in the conservatory. We requested to be moved as it felt a bit drafty (not saying the restaurant was). I am always cold, so it's a personal preference. I ordered the duck breast and my husband had the fillet steak. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and the portion sizes were just right - nothing worse than being overwhelmed with too much food. For dessert, we had the sticky toffee pudding with spiced fruit and honey panna cotta, both of which were delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. The staff were flawless and courteous.
