We dropped by here for a late Saturday lunch and were lucky to get a table. The place looks great and the food was tasty. However when I asked about what beers they have, the waiter was adamant that lager is not beer, which is obviously not true. Also, if you're going to hand out little feedback cards, then you should also hand out pens to write on them with. So for these 2 last things, -1 star, but it was a good experience and we'd consider coming back whenever we're in the area again.

Visited here for a meal a few years back before Covid-19 and it was excellent food and service then. Decided to go back with family and did not disappoint. Excellent menu, food and service. Cocktails are also very good. Definitely recommend Fennel for an evening meal for a special occasion.

We went to The Fennel to have lunch on a Friday afternoon at 2:15. Upon entering the restaurant I asked the server if we could sit in a booth. He went to ask the gentleman behind the counter and he said no. “ Someone else wants to sit there” and then offered me a table at the bottom of the stairs. The restaurant was quiet but he had somewhat of an attitude about my request. But the most disturbing thing was the woman standing next to him behind the counter smiled as she saw as I was not happy with the table I was offered. Why would the staff take such delight in saying “no”.. We walked out as we felt we probably would not of received good service because of their attitude. Not welcoming and quite cold first impression

We had a meal on Friday evening and the food was delicious, couldn't fault the quality. My granda is 89 and was more than happy with his choices from the extensive menu, I had chicken wings starter and rib eye steak main and they were perfect. Service was slightly slow but we don't mind that when the quality was superb. The atmosphere is good but downstairs can be noisy with the cocktail making from the bar, but again we didn't mind as overall it wad an excellent experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend

Haven’t been to Fennel for a long time. We ordered the street food menu and wasn’t disappointed. The food was lovely 😁. There is the option of their main menus, but the street food was not to be refused. Serves were excellent and didn’t hound you like other restaurants sometimes do.

As a local with family, it's nice to get out once in a while and this is our go to place. Whether it's with our without kids, the food and service is always top class. Worth noting too that smaller portions of main meals are also available for kids at a reduced rate Still amazing customer service and food to match.

Simply the best roast dinner of my life Everything was so superlative I had to force myself not to eat fast. Each individual item on the plate was the best of its kind I have ever had. Before you think I am a friend of the restaurant owners I am visiting from England and went with friends :-) Met at the door by a lovely gent who sat us and took our drinks order. Served by others who were non Intrusive and only interested in making our meal an excellent experience. I cannot explain how amazing the roast was. The meat was perfection, the honey flavoured veg was divine. The potatoes were unlike any I have ever had. Now the “Skirlie” I have neither seen nor eaten before. What a treat!! It was like the chef wanted to show off and this was his opus. Simply brilliant from start to finish. I am positive I will never have a better roast dinner Amazing work to all involved Thank you. Peter “The American” living in England.

I visited Fennel on 2 separate occasions, 1st time for dinner, food was tasty and the lady that took our orders (Irish) was so lovely honestly. However the service was extremely slow in terms of the food coming out of the kitchen, visited the next day for lunch and the slowness of the food coming out of the kitchen was clearly still an issue. Reading other reviews the slow service has been highlighted on more than one occasion and should be looked into by the owners

We made a reservation here base on number of good reviews and came here for dinner. The place was fairly full in middle of the week. Great selection food with also a daily special which was chicken with vegetables. We ordered the fish and chips which was absolutely fantastic and huge! Their chicken vegetables was delicious but probably 1/3 of the fish dish and a small portion and not really filling. Staff were nice and respectful and the restaurant had a great vibe to it.

A really lovely place and well worth a visit. Very nice ambience, lovely decor and extremely friendly, helpful staff. For once the music was sufficiently subtle enough so that conversation was clearly audible, even to my rather deaf parents. Varied and interesting menu. Most dishes were thoroughly enjoyed, one or two less successful within our party of 6. Would definitely recommend and return.

Given the size of the party we had pre-ordered, but they coped well with a couple of late alterations and served all of the mains in a pretty short space of time, so no one was left waiting while everyone else ate.

Visited here with my partner. My Cullen Skink arrived luke warm to my table, I pointed this out to our waitress who dealt with it efficiently, professionally and politely, (she was brilliant).... however the waiter/person who returned my soup made a point of letting me know it was "85 degrees" now, in a sarcastic manner, l really don't understand why he did? It's such a shame one flippant remark can taint an evening. It almost sticks in my throat to say the "hot" soup was delicious. My partner enjoyed his fish and chips too. For dessert we shared a chocolate vegan tart and an apple crumble, both were very good indeed and the ice-cream was exceptionally tasty . All in all l would have given a 4 star review but sadly the waiter tainted our experience. Manners maketh the man so they say!

We have had lunch here before however that was a long time ago. I simply had fish and chips, and to be brief fish was good but the batter could have been crispier, as could have been the chips a few were inedible too soft by far. My wife had mussels with chorizo which was rather chewy, so on this occasion we can't really praise the food, service was good but overall pricey for what we received. I now regret not mentioning what our thoughts were regarding the food served, the restaurant wasn't busy by any means!
