"Terrible food and very disappointing. After reading these reviews and looking on the website, we were anticipating very high quality pizza and overall a good experience. We ordered 3 pizzas and seasoned potatoes, and this was incredibly overpriced for the standard of the food that we received. For such a place that prides itself on serving only pizzas and salads, there was a very limited selection of pizzas as well as toppings, with popular toppings like ham and mushrooms not even being offered, which was a letdown. When the food did arrive, all of the pizzas were burnt. The base of all of the pizzas were burnt in several places and we had try to find small pieces which we could eat. The margarita in particular was the worst, with a few slices being left due to being inedible. We also ordered the highly overpriced seasoned potatoes at £5.95, which we were convinced by the waiter were seasoned with 'cumin and paprika ', but they weren 't even seasoned with salt and pepper. I have had plenty of cheaper and better potatoes and I can assure you that despite the price, these are definitely not the best potatoes in the world. When complaining to the staff about our burnt pizzas, they apologised and offered another pizza, but by that time, it was too late. For the price that we paid, the food was not only of an average standard, but it was also burnt. As a chef, you don 't serve burnt food to customers. When we came to pay, the waitress apologised that the food was not to our taste . Who would enjoy eating carcinogenic burnt food? This was quite insulting, and after complaining again about our burnt pizzas, we were only offered a few pounds off the bill. The final amount was completely unjustified for what we ate, and considering that we received burnt pizzas, incredibly disappointing. Compliments to the chef!"

I want to express my gratitude to Lauren and the team for assisting me in organizing an amazing birthday party. They were easy to work with and handled everything with ease. The food was fantastic, with many guests complimenting it, and the drinks were plentiful from the bustling bar. They even created a customized cocktail menu just for my event! Thank you so much.

Waiting staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. If it 's not on the menu the chef can make to order if products are in the kitchen. Wait time for food wasn 't long at all and take home boxes were available if you couldn 't finish everything. I tried a cocktail called kiwi colada which was delicious. This was our first visit here and I highly recommend you try out this little slice of pizza paradise!

My partner and I absolutely adore this restaurant. It's our go-to spot for dinner with friends because the atmosphere is fantastic and the cocktails are beautiful. The pizza is hands down the best I've ever had, and I can't imagine going anywhere else for it. We really love this place and hope others will visit to support local small businesses. We are thrilled to have the Brass Beatle in our area. Looking forward to trying their mulled wine next time!

I 'm sorry I have to say this but I just had a terrible time at your place. I paid £15 for a pizza with literally hardly any toppings on. Like a smidgeon of cheese. I ordered sweet potato bites and had wedges delivered. Then to be told you don 't sell sweet potato bites even though they 're on your menu And the chicken wings which everyone hyped up were well overcooked and were compensated with a ridiculous amount of average sauce. 3/10 would never recommend.

After dining at an Indian restaurant in the neighborhood, we decided to go in search of a cocktail spot. We stumbled upon this place and it was just what we were looking for. We enjoyed a variety of cocktails and mocktails, all of which were delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. We decided to sit at the bar and overheard other customers raving about the generous portions of food. Although we didn't have a meal there, we will definitely be returning to try out their menu.

Strange place, if you 're going for artisan pizza this does not come close to the best around Da 'Mara, Scaramantica, Gastro Mania (well worth the trip to Caerphilly) and Dough Thrower. Nowhere near. Those restaurants are cooking first class, authentic Italian, wood fired pizzas try those to know the standard to judge by. The dough at Brass Beetle is decent (for a gas (not wood) fired oven) but the toppings are really lacking. We ordered 3 different pizzas, all were exceedingly sweet and over burdened. They just didn 't work. Dough Thrower is expert at making modern toppings work, if looking for that. If you 're going for cocktails, these are really excellent but very expensive. We asked if...
