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.

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

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.

Big thumbs up too for the chicken club sandwich, pork fillet dish and the haddock goujons. Service was excellent too!

We booked a table (which probably wasn't neccessary), for brunch at the weekend. The boozy brunch if you're not driving seems a great option, two delicious cocktails and a full breakfast for £20 was a good way to spend a morning. Nice atmosphere and staff. We'll definitely be back.

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

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.

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.

The food was very good, presented beautifully. The staff were attentive and helpful. It was so good, in fact. I went back for lunch! They have a menu to suit any budget. Highly recommend. I'd also urge you to book for peak times to avoid disappointment.

Absolutely delighted with the meals served to our (very large) party this evening. The food was excellent throughout, with everyone delighted by their meal. The service was welcoming and friendly, prompt and helpful. I couldn't have been more pleased. 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. Thank you for a great night.

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!

Sunday lunch looked excellent and I will be visiting again to try it. The cocktails were very refreshing too on a sunny afternoon. The restaurant is popular and has a lot of seating for a small area so it can be a bit noisy.
