16 leaders from Girlguiding in Shirley had a great meal here on Sunday after taking 90 Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers to Tenpin bowling. The service from Louisa was excellent and we received a warm welcome from the manager too. There’s a good variety of food and considering we were a large group we didn’t have to wait long for it to be served. Everyone had a great time relaxing and chatting and nice to be in a venue where you could hear each other without loud music. I enjoyed a great Popstar Martini mocktail too! We’ll certainly be back next time we arrange something at Valley Park. Thanks to the whole team there.

I booked the table reservation online and we got a free mains which was lovely! The restaurant was not packed, which was ideal as I had been there before and the constant happy birthdays and some loud people eating there did get annoying! Our waitress was friendly, and the food was brought out quickly. She also changed the bananas for strawberries when I ordered the yummy Lotus pancakes, which was appreciated. However what spoilt it all for me was that the website says they close at 10pm on a Sunday, yet by 9pm with some people still in the restaurant they said they were closing at 9pm. Had we known we would have ordered everything when we arrived including the coffee, which at 9pm we could not order, because the coffee machine was being cleaned. None of this info was on the website and this was not conveyed when we arrived. I was seeing a friend that came from far to see me so the aim was to have a few good hours of good food and convo, and it all then felt like it was all quite rushed by 9pm to leave. It was a shame as we both ordered the pancake stacks and it tasted lovely but really needed some coffee to finish them off nicely. So as that wasn't available and we felt rushed to leave, we both left much of the pancakes on the plate. I am not sure I will be back and if I do go back I will probably keep in mind that I need to get the order including coffee put in as soon as I arrive, and I might be asked to leave an hour before closing time (as on their website) even though the restaurant is not full! It is a shame as people go out to eat for the experience and not just the food and this seems to be overlooked at this place.

Terrible service from Fabiana. She got our order wrong multiple times, started to clear the table while some of our party were still eating, even to the extent of stretching over people eating to get to plates or glasses that weren't being used. She also took away glasses that people were still drinking from. The restaurant still had 60 minutes before closing when she did this. When the bill came, the OPTIONAL service charge was automatically added to the cost that was inputted to the card machine, and then the card reader was asking for an additional service charge on top of this! When we said we were not going to pay the optional service charge that had been added this was met with questioning as to why we didn't want to pay it, we explained the poor service and were then told a manager would have to remove the charge, so clearly, despite being optional, many people are being fleeced by it automatically being added to bills. Fabians could not conceal her annoyance at this, slamming the card reader back down onto the table, glaring at us and refusing to speak to us again. Would definitely not return (this was our first visit), food was okay, cooked well but very overpriced for what it was, toilets were very smelly and there was no soap available in them and clearly hadn't been checked by staff for a good while!

Never again! Like a year ago, We haven't been to F&B for a long time, and first of all, I confirm the burger tastes like salt and chemicals had to spit it out. Then my 2 friends got Non @lc0h0l1c liver disease last year on their birthday last year. The chef doesn't know how to cook. At least the waitress was good. Someone revealed one of my friends who is under 16 face in social media. They have the right to post on that photo, but yh, they must delete it now. Don't get me started with a food poisoning one. Should have shut down. The other tables and reviews weren't happy with their food and service either. They charge me a £48 which is expensive. Should've checked the reviews and should've gone to New Malden. The ready to eat microwave meal tastes better than this restaurant. Stop wasting time and money there. Save your money and go to jrc or Nandos nearby or buy a microwave to cook ready to eat meal.

It was quick pitstop for food, after visiting a Frankie&Benny’s nearer to home and enjoying it, we put our faith in the quality we’ve previously had. Unfortunately our visit here wasn’t up to par, we were greeted by whom I’m assuming was the manager, wearing a hoodie with a picture of a ‘joint in an ashtray’ on the back. Completely unprofessional and inappropriate for service. After being sat it took around 10 minutes for someone to come over acknowledge us and take a drinks&food order and another 5/10 minutes for drinks to arrive. Food came out hot (which was the only positive to this meal) I ordered the chicken Parmigiana which was hard and the broccoli was soggy. My partners dish was missing his extra Nduja, however we couldn’t bring this to anyone’s attention until after we had finished due to no food checkback. Visibly there were three other tables in the restaurant when we were sat. This visit left us feeling invisible. Service was poor and robotic, can safely say we most definitely won’t be returning and/or recommending to anyone else. You’d get more attention and better quality of food from McDonald’s.

Absolutely disgusting service from the team on at 8pm Thursday 28th March 2024. Restaurant advertised online as closing at 9pm we entered the restaurant at 8.10pm. Young lady from behind the bar approached us as we waited to be seated and told us sorry we are closed. I said your website says 9pm we only want a snack, her reply is that they where short staffed though the restaurant only had 5 tables with people on them. I then asked her to double check with the manager. She walked across the restaurant and spoke to another young lady who then shouted at us across the restaurant we are closed, kitchen is closed. This was at 8.15pm when I could fully see the kitchen was still open and the chefs making food for people waiting. Absolutely disgusted at the way Natasha shouted at us across the restaurant, the fact we where given two fake reasons as to why we couldn't be seated. Given it was a Thursday night before Easter Friday and 45mins before the restaurant was advertised as closing.

The hot dog comes in this weird chewy bun that tastes bad and has a bad mouth feel and is clearly very stale. I ended up having to just eat the sausage on its own. And that's all you get is a sausage, the inedible bun, some ketchup and a small sprinkle of dried onion. £12! I would rate the actual value of a sausage and chips at closer to £2. After this I literally went home and made my own hotdog out of things in my fridge for less than £2 and it was nicer than the one I ate here by far. The server was also quite unwilling to help the diners work out the bill between us, flatly refusing to do so. Not the biggest issue but when someone says can you please help me and the staff say no I can't. And another diner asks and the staff says I assure you I can't help you at all, you have to do it yourself. That's not good is it.

Starters: potato skins to start were absolutely tasteless and dense/chewy, shocked at how much they tasted of nothing, my partner ordered the meatball al forno, the meatballs had a chewy piece of gristle the tomato sauce was tasteless! We were so confused how the dish had so many ingredients but lacked so bad in taste Mains: Inedible, dry, again TASTELESS!!! ordered meat feast pasta, the only meat in it was pepperoni and meatballs, when on the menu it was suppose to have n’duja, ham AND cheese. Chicken parmigiana my partner took 2 bites it was so dry and tasteless, we resulted to sending the food back and getting refund on our food. On a lighter note the lady that served us dealt with us brisk and polite. Never again.

The food was fine , no issues with the food at all and wasn’t our first time visit and it would be great as usual except it was one of the worst services I have ever received. Once I came to the restaurant the waitress has advised that kitchen will be closed in 5 minutes , which is absolutely fine and we have ordered straight away and haven’t planned to take our time to enjoy the dinner because the restaurant was about to close.. BUT the waitress several times mentioned that restaurant is closing at 10pm after we have already ordered, so we have planned to ask for a bill at 10 o’clock, and finish our food and leave, at 9:53pm waitress came to take a payment and we have heard that she was discussing with other employees loudly that we are not leaving after taking our payment , which still was before 10 o’clock. Please train your staff to be friendly and professional and teach them to talk and explain customers in a nicer way , not turning off the lights and talking loudly between the staff, while customers are still in the restaurant and mentioning millions times that everyone has to leave the restaurant at 10 o’clock including employees. This is the only restaurant I have been to or worked in that everyone has to leave at advertised time.

My burger tasted funny and the burger inside very wet. Buns were quite dry and did not taste very good, my friend burger had lots of sauces just slapped on but did not eat his either. Did not finish the meals was going to give it to the dog and asked to take it away in a box. When leaving I saw one of the chefs eating whilst preparing food for customers in the kitchen. These guys are meant to have 5 stars for hygiene and that is not what I witnessed. Asked the staff to throw the takeaway box in the bin. Waste of money to be honest.

After coming up 3 times in a short space. The hotdog is one of those wiener dogs, not proper sausage, which I was looking forward to. My bad I guess. Bread was tough and gross. Very expensive for the quality of food you get. Used to love it when I was younger, maybe outgrown their food.

I visited the restaurant Frankie & Benny's has in Croydon for the first time yesterday, and I must say it has been a very pleasant experience in all aspects. From the very first moment I put my feet in the restaurant, staff has provided an excellent customer service, especially Moni, who was the one who assisted us during dinner. Her politeness and permanent smile on her face was an excellent start for our first time at the restaurant. Frankie and Benny's menu is also great. You have a great variety of starters, mains and desserts that makes it difficult to choose only one. Portions are quite generous and the price I paid for dinner is perfectly balanced with the quality of food I had. In conclusion, a first experience that will be the first of many more I will do in future. It is totally worth.

All seem rushed. My beef burger had no flavour and burnt. The other meals were a little better. Shame we used to go to F&B years ago very regularly and thought we'd give it another go. Menu is very basic. Won't be going back a shame defo gone down hill and you can tell coz resturant was half empty, when u used to be lucky to get a table.

The staff service was lovely, the young man was very inviting and friendly. However, the food wasn’t great, also considering it was only me and my friend and two other people on another table in the building. My potato skins were under cooked, my hotdog was really hard and had lots fatty bits inside and the chips on the side were also under cooked. My friend got a pizza, bbq chicken one, and the chicken was very squishy so she had to pick it all off. Considering what Frankies and bennies used to be I was expecting a lot more

One of the better places to eat at Valley Park in Purley, Croydon. Even though we had not booked & were turned away at another restuarant, the staff at Feankie & Bennie's still found us a table to sit at. From the start the service was really good & the tables were cleaned before we sat down. The food was excellent & hot & arrived quickly. Our server Kasia B was really attentive and looked after us well. She even gave us good suggestions on what to have. I must say that we enjoyed ourselves & will defo be coming back again & also suggest Feankie & Bennie's to family & friends. 👍👌😁🍹💥 Once more had a great evening at Frankie & Benny's. Friendly staff & great food 👍👌😁

The service was not pleasing,The waiters looked angry,we ordered takeaway and they just threw a box on the table for the food with the bill on the side,the food was not made with care and it was kind of disappointing,the previous time we came here we had a good experience,but this time was horrible.

We came by in the afternoon, the food was average and the table was sticky! Our waitress (the tall guy with brown hair) seemed very arrogant and annoyed, the staff seemed to be a bit too chilled out.. we tried to get the staff to bring our bill for about 30 minutes, there was no people at all the staff was to busy joking with each other than give a good service to their customers. The cutlery was disgusting as well, it’s definitely a no for me.

This is a classic style American diner which is nicely decorated. This time we ordered: Blue Cheese Burger – strong flavour, the cheese goes very well with the burger meat! We loved it. Slow Cooked Beef Pizza – a bit too salty and not crunchy enough Milkshake – looks dazzling, tastes great too Flat White – normal coffee at affordable price We would come back again.

I very much enjoyed my experience. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly and helpful. The food tasted very good, but was a bit pricey. I had a gift card so it wasn't too bad, but as a treat I wouldn't mind spending the money. Overall, it was a great meal.

What an amazing experience coming to Croydon Frankie & Benny's, our waiter, Lazer, was not only very funny but was very attentive to our needs. The food was 1st class and of very good quality, meaning it was worth every penny spent. I would recommend this as a lovely place to have a meal with friends, a loved one or even the children. The assistant manager, Szintia, was so warm, welcoming, a pleasant approach, with a glowing smile and very presentable.

My 1st time ordering food was great, however I was a rip off when it come to the bottle drinks I ordered. Not advertised as that size very small and overpriced

Came here Friday night around 8pm and it was really quiet. We waited best part of 20mins to get served despite there only being three other covers in the restaurant and I had to go up and get their attention as the staff seemed busy socialising. Given how long we’d been waiting we had time to memorise the menu and ordered drinks and food at the same time. To our great disappointment when ordering we were told they’d run out of mac n cheese, chorizo and also most importantly buffalo sauce so couldn’t do any buffalo wings or chicken “monkey fingers”. The buffalo wings were what we were most looking forward to. Thus a rethink to our order was required. We both ordered a Dead Hippie Burger with bacon, some chilli cheese loaded fries and a slaw to share. The burgers are good but nothing special… fairly flavoursome, however, I did think it was arguably salt heavy without the balance of flavours I’ve had with other burger joints. The bacon patties must have the best part of 2-3 grams of salt per patty. Only one gherkin in the burger seems a little stingy or could be lack of quality control. The lettuce was soggy where it’s placed at the bottom of the patties, maybe a meatliquor USP to put lettuce below the meat? If it is… Doesn’t work for me. Loved the chilli cheese loaded fries. The Fries were still crispy and the flavours and mix of toppings worked a magical combination for the tastebuds. The slaw was fresh. Could have packed a little more zing and bite but in the grand scheme of things was a solid side. The Toffee Apple Hard Shake. One word. Epic! The Angelita Margarita was also decent. Would I return to MeatLiquor? I would another branch as I’ve been Brighton before and had far better service and the whole menu was available. Would not bother wasting your time with this one if you want Buffalo wings and attentive service. Food 5/10 Drinks 9/10 Service 5/10 Menu Availability 2/10 Decor 7/10 OVERALL 5.5/10

Just got back from a fantastic meal. Absolutely fantastic steak/food. Service was great too, with great cocktails! We will be coming back, especially with my kids as they will love the steak, crispy squid and halloumi. Thank you for a fabulous evening. (Great we didn’t have to go into London to get a decent steak)
