Visited with friends for the bottomless brunch, £20 for a starter and side or a pizza, along with all you can drink (a choice of 4 cocktails, a lager and Prosecco) for 2 hours, an incredible deal, great value for money, the food was amazing! Deal is slightly more expensive later on the day but still amazing value! Staff were so lovely and kept bringing out the drinks as soon as we’d finished, not like some ‘all you can drink’ places where they are stingy on the alcohol. Some of the best cocktails we’ve tasted, will defo be back soon, even for just for the food, everything they were bringing out looked lovely. Toilets were lovely and clean, as were the rest of the restaurant. Not like some places where the menus and tables are grubby etc. Recommend this to anyone.

Usually places in Swindon are a meh at best. This place was a gamble and turned out to be amazing. Nice variety of grilled meats, all cooked and seasoned to perfection. The fried chicken was crispy and tender and glazed with great flavours. 5/5, will most definitely frequent this place, highly underrated.

We had our first visit to this innovative restaurant. Everything about this place was unexpected! The menu is interesting and creative. The small plates are freshly cooked. We loved the Oz Chardonnay-which was crisp and spritzy and not the usual oaky bland offering. Staff were pleasant but not over friendly.

Amazing food! Our waitress was called Jess and she was so attentive, so friendly and smiley and made us feel so at home. She also knew the menu and drinks and even guessed what shot we would like. 100% would come back.

Full disclosure, we visited because we know someone who just started working there. But wow it was great! There's a wide selection of dishes, lots of flavour but also pizza, fries etc. if you have less adventurous diners in your party. The service was friendly and fast, and the food arrived really quickly. It was quiet on a Sunday evening, so that probably helped. We tried several tapas dishes and they were all lovely, but the sweet potatoes and the fajitas were our favourites. Finished off with a really delicious cocktail. Excited to visit again and try some more things!

What a great place! Found this gem when we were looking for a pre-theatre meal, so lucky we found this place. Service, food, ambience all perfect - we will definitely be back

I've never been here before and didn't quite know what to expect. I was greeted by a lovely girl who was the manager, Lucy. She showed us to our seats and got our drinks whilst Matthew served us. The service was first class. The ambience was great and the atmosphere was exciting. The menu wasn't have something I've never really seen quite before but once I got to grips with it I ordered away and I was not disappointed. Great experience and reasonable price. Check it out, you really want be disappointed

Came at lunchtime for my birthday treat, staff were friendly and accommodating and the food was cooked swiftly and tasted delicious, would have been nice if there were more people in here to create a nice atmosphere but loved the decor

Having pizzas, Korean tapas and 'cook your own' meat options on the same menu is quite bizarre. I would encourage Funky Grilla to focus on perfecting the Korean. There were mix views around the table. Some said the tapas they ordered was really delicious (9/10) but others, including me, were not so enthusiastic. I went for the classic Korean fried chicken, which I've never had before so couldn't really tell you if its authentic or not. What I can tell you is that it was dry and the ratio of meat to batter was 1:3 (i.e. too much batter). I didn't experience Korean flavours or any spicy kick, so in that regard it was quite bland (to what I was expecting). In summary, comparing the price (expensive) with the quality of the food, unfortunately this currently falls a little short of 'good' for me, but others around my table would disagree with this. This has only just opened and I will return in 6 months to see if any changes have been made. On a positive note, what I would say is, if you're looking for delicious cocktails (reasonable price), a light bite and a good vibe, this is a good place to go.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere and nice decor. The service was quick which was nice, but the menu itself is quite eclectic and not very authentic. The food was nice enough, though not stand out. The staff were very friendly and accommodating which was great to see.

We chanced our luck as we had not booked and the front of house staff we super accommodating. We ate as a family with our 2 year old daughter and every member of staff we came into contact with were fab. The food was reasonably priced and delicious. As a family, we have only tried a few Korean dishes but our waiter was really helpful and recommended a few dishes based on our taste. We would definitely return and recommend.

First time at a Korean restaurant and just lived the atmosphere, the helpfulness of the staff and the food, especially the crispy chicken!

Do not visit if you wish to try the Korea BBQ and are in a wheelchair or have a disability that stops you from sitting in a fixed pew seat. They have no spaces for either wheelchairs or normal chairs in the BBQ section.

Popped in on the off chance and we were so glad we did, we were greeted by a friendly staff member, all the staff were exceptionally friendly, we were a bit short for time so we ordered Pizza, it arrived fairly quickly and was lovely....

First impressions was that it has been fitted out on a budget, We (8 people) visited on a chilly Oct night and the front door was incapable of holding back the cold wind from outside. Overall, furnished in a very “minimalistic” way and that gives...

Arrived around 8pm, was greeted by the bar manager. Good service up until our food arrived. Ordered the beef sirloin, chicken skewers, pork belly skewers, rice and garlic naan for the Korean bbq grill. You get 8 average but thin slices of sirloin for £15...

I loved this restaurant. We ordered the Korean bbq with teriyaki chicken thighs and lamb sheek kebabs, as well as small bites. Everything was well seasoned and full of flavour. The staff was extremely friendly and very attentive throughout. They also do 2 cocktails for...

Visited here for the first time last night and the food was absolutely fantastic, however we were let down by the service. Often no staff to be seen or all crowded around chatting. My friend asked for a menu and we had to chase this...

We go here quite a bit, lovely new pub with nice atmosphere. My to go to dish has always been the Plantbased Burger. It was sooo good even my meat eating friends would have it. It was like a 10/10. But when we went the other day we found to our disappointment you’ve changed the plant burger to a beetroot burger??! It was eatable, but only a 3/10. Please bring the old vegan burger back.

We fancied a change from the hotel restaurant and the menu the Freke Arms offered had plenty of gluten-free options as well. We booked and received a message back quickly confirming the booking. We were greeted warmly and shown to our table promptly. Menu options were explained clearly and there were several specials on offer. The food we received was plentiful and very tasty indeed and the beer and wine were delicious. All the staff were friendly and we had a good chat about the pub as it had a bit of history. Karen and her staff went above and beyond and the service we received was first class. If we are ever in the area again we would certainly stop by the Freke Arms for a meal.

I normally have a lovely experience,i am used to the lovely focused staff and incredible drinks however, the staff that was serving on the 4th of june were unfocused, chatting to each other which left me and other customers waiting for about 10 mins, took them ages to make as they were chatting and gossiping! i normally don’t like writing reviews but felt this was necessary:/ photo is supposed to be a mint choc chip frostino 🤦♀️
