It is a great bar with a great atmosphere. Lovely staff, great choice of drinks but personally , it is the excellent disabled access to all areas that impresses me and my husband most. Including the actual theatres x

Really lovely waiters/waitresses. Clean environment. About 10minutes wait before the food comes.. yeah Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and vegan options available Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, accessible Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £50–60 View menu

The service was acceptable considering how crowded the restaurant was. However, the biggest letdown was the quality of the food. We ordered from the Christmas menu and it was clear that the food had been microwaved. Considering the price, I was expecting better quality and would recommend others to avoid this restaurant. Overall ratings: Food - 2, Service - 4, Atmosphere - 3. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £70-80.

Poor GF options, no beef burgers ! Bread bun solid. 1 x option for dessert not all good for this day and age. Perhaps my naivety and it was a Friday but one of the noisiest places I've eaten in, I thought it was a restaurant when I booked and not being from area didn't realise it would be a pub/eating place, so if you're having a date look for somewhere quieter in town. Staff friendly but slow service. Wouldn't go again sorry.

This restaurant had a lovely ambiance and a promising menu, but ultimately fell short in a few key areas. The menu was limited and the service was mediocre, with long waits between ordering and receiving food. The duck dish looked beautiful but was dry and had an odd taste. The roast potato and sausage roll were also disappointing, tasting as if they had been left under a heat lamp for too long. However, the starters of squid and pigs in blankets were superb. Overall, the food did not live up to the price and potential of the restaurant. View menu
