"We went to Spencers in the square to celebrate my daughter's engagement. Even though we had mentioned this when booking, it was not acknowledged during our visit. However, this was not a big deal for us. We ordered drinks and four different main courses. I opted for the chicken with honey and lemon sauce, served with skin-on fried potatoes and green beans. It was delicious but could have used an additional vegetable. The others ordered burgers, steak, and beef in red wine sauce, all of which were enjoyed by everyone. We have dined at this restaurant multiple times, including for Sunday dinners, and have noticed a significant improvement in both the food and service. The restaurant, located in the city centre, is beautifully styled and very comfortable."

I took my family out for a delicious Sunday dinner and even our dog was well taken care of! We all had a great time.

Ate in Spencer's last Saturday, table of 8, service was good, food choice was varied and ordered food arrived in a timely manner, was well presented and tasted delicious. Cocktails order were beautifully presented and were very tasty! All reasonably priced. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thanks.

Visited on Boxing Day for a family meet up and had a lovely time. The food was good and well presented. We were asked to order ahead, which was no problem, and there was a slight delay in being seated after arrival but the food was brought out in a timely manner. Staff did a great job over a busy festive period, and the decorations inside were lovely.

beautiful fresh quinoa and broccoli burger with chips and byhalat. burger seemed fresh and was nice to have something different to a standard "vegetable patty" that is offered so often in pubs. staff all beautiful, friendly and helpful. have not seen too many main vegan options on the main menu, but do not ask if they are a separate vegan menu, so maybe there are more options when they ask. updated by previous review on 2021-11-27

Evening meal with the wife for her birthday. It was a last minute booking so was pleased when they could fit us in. The food when it arrived was good however the dining area was not busy but the waitress still managed to get the order wrong. This was put right. We ordered dessert only to wait for about 30 to 40 minutes before having to ask where it was. We were offered a free drink whilst we waited for the desserts but we declined. This is not somewhere we would return to .

We love this restaurant and have visited regularly since moving to the area, the food is fabulous and the building is lovely. The staff are all very friendly but sadly the service lets it down very badly. The last few times we have been they have seemed disorganised and very very slow. Although we weren't in a rush it did take us nearly 3 hours to have a two course meal! Unfortunately this has now ruined our experience to the point that we will be looking for somewhere else to eat. Such a shame, this place could be really amazing!

went for a meal last night and was pleased to be able to choose from a selection of vegan starters, main and desserts! I had mushroom bruschetta that made these really delicious little mushrooms, I really enjoyed it, followed by jerk sweet potato curry, and finished with a sticky pear pudding and vegan ice cream. it was so nice to choose from a selection at each part of the menu, instead of just a token vegan option, and with a real ' pudding was nice! for the service and eating that I would have received, I would have forgiven 5 stars, although I guess happy cow 5 stars only keeps for fully vegan / vegetarian places, so it is a well deserved 4 stars.

This place really annoys me because he has such potential. The food is good and so are the drinks, but the service is sooo bad and was the last 4 times I have been for food. You sit down and take your drink order and leave with menus. Wait 10 minutes and they will come back to take your order, but still no drinks. There is no sense of urgency in each of the employees they simply sneak around. On the other night there were 9/10 employees (so they are not underoccupied! I was in my friends for lunch before we declared on arrival, they sat without menus. We had to go back to the bar and emphasize our time constraints and ask for menus. I just wish this was sorted out! Maybe we wouldn't be the o...
