Society Standard - Menu

Always great service and good food, we are lucky to have this independent on our doorstep. They have a smaller menu than normal the chicken wings are an absolute highlight .

I’ve visited SS several time over the last few years. At times, I have tired of the menu as it’s not the healthiest but I have to say, I always have a good meal here. Highly recommend for a casual evening out with friends.

Away from the centre, the rustic (read edgy) restaurant has a simple yet well created menu. Enjoyed the range of vegan options. Waitstaff were Very friendly, prices were very reasonable and it was a good atmosphere. Thank you xx

First visit here and very impressed. Staff were so helpful and efficient. We had an issue as the half marathon was on and some of our party were struggling to get to the restaurant because of the road closures this was no problem for the staff who were so understanding. When we eventually got together and had our food it was exceptional and such good value for money! Will definitely be back! Thanks guys xx

Food was absolutely delicious. Restaurant had a nice atmosphere and it was nice to be able to watch the kitchen staff work and plate up the food. Weather was very warm and it was lovely to have all the front patio doors/windows open all the way. The only thing that drew away from this wonderful experience was the lack of gravy for the table and the difficulty in getting the attention of waiters to get more.

Came here on Sunday afternoon and ordered the beef roast. Everything tasted flavoursome and delicious, the only downsize it was lukewarm and we were hoping for a larger portion of cauliflower cheese (we both only had only one small piece on our plate, prehaps offer this as an extra side dish? . Service was great and nothing was too much trouble, and the lady read our minds by bringing us a jug of extra gravy. For dessert we ordered the pudding sundae (loved it and the lemon posset (refreshing . Will definitely return to try there weekday menu!

As if selecting my dinner wasn't hard enough, choosing from what is a very enticing menu, the friendly waiting staff went and made my decision even harder by revealing that the catch of the day was moules mariniere! So the only option was to go for a full fish dinner of salt and pepper squid, moules and the furakake salad with garlic chilli prawns all shared between two. And it was all absolutely delicious, especially les moules. I've always had top notch food from the society standard, the quality of the food being consistently excellent. Good selection of drinks, lovely atmosphere and great service. A firm favourite.

Disclaimer: didn’t get a chance to try the food so this review is purely based on the service. Walked in super excited to try this place but felt utterly uncomfortable in the (lack of) service I was given. It was our first time coming in and it was pretty obvious as we walked in, stood at the front waiting to be seen. The two members of staff were talking to eachother at the back and to make it easier for them, I mimed ‘should we just sit at any table’ to which they nodded. No menu was on the table so our heads were spinning trying to figure out how it works. It was pretty obvious we needed service. We got their attention and asked for a menu and got a dismissive ‘order at the bar’ response....

First impressions were underwhelming. We were waiting for several minutes when we came in — the greeter was on the phone but no other staff around the bar acknowledged us either. The decor is very bare, which is evidently a design choice, but the furniture was uncomfortable and there was a hole in the concrete floor next to our table. Our table was also sticky and had a few crumbs on it, so obviously hadn’t been cleaned well. Our order was taken promptly but our drinks took 15 minutes to arrive and actually arrived after our food. The hot chocolate was great though! The roast itself was unfortunately the most disappointing part. It was only lukewarm on arrival. The beef was fatty and anaemic...
