"the food was excellent and if something too much of it! Unfortunately, the service was not what I had hoped for, as the waiting time to take their order was quite long. After waiting for about 10 minutes after sitting, I decided to go into the bar and get my own drinks, because it didn't seem to be enough staff, and they were busy or not very attentive once our food order was taken, the meals arrived pretty fast and I can't stress how nice they were our table was cleared after eating quite fast, but a look around the room showed that we were obviously happy. the table next to us was fed so that the guy cleaned his own table. the manager apologised and I think they were understated on a busy day that said I would go back to any case and give them another chance as eating was great and the restaurant/the toilets etc., very clean."

The food and service were great, but the prices of the drinks were way too high.

The staff were very friendly. However, it took ages for someone even to come to take our drinks order, then an age for the drinks to arrive. Asked for water in the meantime but the waitress forgot to bring some. Starter plates were on the table when main dishes arrived. Spoon missing for pasta and took a while to arrive, one dish was served cold (cauliflower), promised to make a new one which came out piping hot (probably microwaved). But I was reimbursed for the cauliflower dish when I asked for some kind of compensation for the service that night so that was appreciated. I wouldn't go again but the ambience and setting and staff were lovely. Maybe it was just an off night or maybe staff ne...

Been eating here for a long time. Seen it ascend from a very poor establishment to one of our favourites. However, just now it seems to be slipping. The food is still reasonably priced, but the quality is not as good. My starter of a paltry amount of mushrooms on a soggy crumpet, buried under a forest of watercress was disappointing. Despite the use of tablet technology, the waitress was not fully aware of the menu and had to return a couple of times to check on aspects of our (simple) order. I doubt it was her fault, more a training issue. Further, as a cask ale enthusiast, the Adnams Ghost Ship I ordered was, at best, drinkable very short on condition. The rest of the food was as expected,...

"We have eaten at Lussman's before and were pleased to go back for a celebration meal for my husband's birthday. Given a nice corner table. The starters were good but the mains choices were a little disappointing for my husband. He would have chosen the steak but only 10oz was on offer which was too big even for his good appetite. I wish that they, along with other restaurants, would offer alternative portion sizes. In the end he plumped for the chicken fricasee and really enjoyed it. I chose the cauliflower fritters but found that a bit disappointing, with a pile of indistinguishable ingredients on the plate, including the deep fried leeks which were just dry strips (I suppose I should have expected that! I can't eat things too dry and asked for some sauce. A red wine jus was duly delivered. The desserts were delicious. The service throughout was exceptionally good. Staff were welcoming, efficient and professional throughout, including when I became briefly unwell and had to take a break in the loo. (The food is absolutely not to blame. It is a digestive problem that flares up occasionally. Anyway, they were extremely helpful and solicitous. On departure they were also very good about ordering and then chasing a taxi which somehow failed to appear, standing outside with us to be sure it finally arrived. So, full marks for service and ambience, even if the food choices were a little disappointing. We will be back!"

"1) Food Quality (4/5) The pizzas are very tasty, using excellent ingredients and a lovely tomato sauce. I have to rate 4/5 only because the pizzas always seem wet/sloppy in the middle. If the bread was crispy all the way across it would be 5/5. That said, I can live with it because the overall taste/experience is a delight 2) Food Range (4/5) A slightly more interesting and eclectic range than the usual pizza restaurant offerings. However, I would like to see some more meaty pizza options. Although I do appreciate this is a pizzeria, I would also welcome some high protein sides (for example, chicken goujons or meatballs) and kiddy friendly crudités for a more balanced meal, especially for family outings 3) Service (4/5) Service generally pretty good. Service can be a bit slow when dining in, and deliveries sometimes late 4) Atmosphere (4/5) A pleasant enough venue, with lovely ambience from the wood fired oven. Tables a bit narrow and chairs a little uncomfortable. Door is opened quite often (for deliveries/collections) meaning cold air blows in quite a lot 5) Value (5/5) Food is reasonably priced, especially given the high quality ingredients (way better than the big chains) 6) Overall Verdict (5/5) This little suburban restaurant is such a gem. It creates high quality pizzas with delicious, quality toppings. I like the fact that every pizza comes out a different, irregular shape, showing its rustic, hand made heritage 7) Got to try... Osina the greens, Friarielli, are unusual and give this pizza a wonderfully fresh, earthy edge. I hope this never comes off the menu"
