After few years of visiting Lupo Lounge I have to say, you keep the same high level of quality, service, food and the place. Thank you to the whole team👏

I've been to a few other "lounges" and this was consistent with the good experiences I've had. Was not busy so seated immediately. I loved the decor and it's open and tall space. Order food from the bar or QR code. We did at the bar as we had allergies, very varied vegan and GF menu. Don't have a dog but I know they are dog friendly too. Prices reasonable and quality of food is good. Desert was slow to come out and I only seemed to get half an ice cream scoop (hence 1 star off service). Otherwise very pleasant to spend the evening in Lupo Lounge.

They have a good varied menu with a wide selection of dishes which are generally well presented and tasty. However, the Buddha Bowl at, £12.50 while tasty could be described as a short measure.

Absolutely love this restaurant. Service and food is outstanding.. The only improvement would be that the ordering from the table can get glitchy and can take a while which defeats the purpose of this. Aside from that, totally outstanding place and can understand why it’s so busy.

The food at this restaurant was exquisite. I ordered the chicken burger, and it was made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, perfectly cooked and flavorful. The coffee was exactly to my liking, rich, smooth and hot. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, enhanced by the cozy ambiance of the upstairs seating area. Overall, a delightful dining experience! We struggled a bit with self ordering, ended up ordering from the front desk ( waitors)

Always great food and drinks here! This time ordered an iced matcha but it was made wrong, they’d blended it.

Visited for a family breakfast. All ordered a Lupo Breakfast & drinks. Member of staff not keen to take order instead of us using the QR code - bearing in mind there were no other customers present. Staff member not welcoming in hospitality terms. Breakfasts were served after a short wait. Asked if we required sauces - this was asked in a matter of fact way. Usually on previous visits staff have checked if everything is ok with our meals - not on this occasion. Sausages were not of previous quality, fried eggs were served on the toast ( toast has always been on the side previously) As the customer we were made to feel unwelcome and everything was a chore. There was no thank you and ‘bye’ as on previous occasions. Would we visit again? Probably not.

The professionalism of the girl in the black t shirt yesterday was non existent. I asked if they can serve spirits with a mixer, as they weren't on the menu. She gave a dirty look. She seemed rushed wanting me to rush my order. Cheap Smirnoff was the only vodka on the menu, which makes me feel terrible the next day. Still the place looks really nice.

I visited Lupo lounge with my Sister-in-law for lunch, to celebrate her 40th Birthday 🥳 I had the gluten free veggie breakfast and my SIL had the halloumi burger. We both very much enjoyed our meals. I've been to other lounge locations but this was my first visit to this one. The restaurant was very beautifully decorated, and had a nice relaxed atmosphere. The menu is the same at all Lounges and offers a wide selection of breakfasts, light lunches, tapas and main meals. There are lots of vegetarian dishes, all of which are clearly marked up. There is a whole gluten free menu, which is incredible, and a lot of the gluten free items are also vegetarian. There is also a vegan menu. I'd definitely recommend Lupo lounge, there's lovely food and a menu that has something for everyone.

Getting signal whether you sit upstairs or downstairs is a nightmare.

What can I say, popped in for a coffee and a tea on a nice Sunday morning, the staff brought the drinks out to me as we where sitting outside. The cups and jug where dirty and grubby. Very poor and what I would not even expect from some dirty cafe in some back street place. I requested my money back and left, poor hygiene. Shall never frequent that place again.

The staff are welcoming and service has always been quite quick (even on busy days) my daughter loves to eat here, and pleasing her isn’t an easy task as she is a very picky eater! Food is always just right and made from good quality ingredients. The atmosphere is as lovely as the decor, I would highly recommend Lupo Lounge to anyone.

This is the second of the Lounge Group establishments that we have tried to eat in. The Sittingbourne one we waited 25 minutes and no-one came to take our order or even if we wanted drinks. Left as three servers just looked at us whilst taking sips from their own drinks - never seen that in a restaurant before. Today in Wolverhampton although we were able to go up to the bar and order, the servers had no idea how to serve a queue of people and just served people at random. Then the drinks delivered to the table were the wrong ones. Told 30 minute wait for food. But 80 minutes later the food turns up missing some items. No condiments and no knives. Food was cold.

So quiet on my recent visit to this Lounges café restaurant, resulting in a very sombre atmosphere. In fairness to the staff, they were very friendly and willing to chat with me about my Lounges tour. However, being a fan of this brand, I am concerned that this one may not survive. I've visited 31 Lounges, and this is one of the quietest ones I've ever been to. The beer was a little flat (Hofmeister) not good when paying over £6 per pint. Nicely decorated; ambient music and pleasant staff. Can senior management conjure up some creative promotions?

My husband and I were visiting Wolverhampton for a gig and being gluten free I have always struggled to eat in Wolverhampton so was pleasantly surprised when this popped up whilst doing a gluten free search on one of my gluten free apps. Found it relatively easy, right in the centre of the city and from the outside looked a lovely place. Inside did not disappoint, it was so pretty and quirky that I instantly fell in love with it. Alcohol choices were vast and they even had a gluten free lager. Menu's for both gluten and non gluten were extensive. I opted for a burger and my husband opted for a chicken gyros and we shared some tapas. Meals came out in good time and food looked lovely. Instantly we both noticed our meals were not hot, the fries were pretty much cold but as we were going to a concert we did not have time to complain and wait for reheated food so we just eat them. Taste wise they were lovely, my husband didn't like that everything was covered in sauces but personally that didn't bother me. If my husband was reviewing this he would be giving it 3 stars but as I enjoyed my food (although cold) and loved the whole experience I am giving it 4 stars and had the food have been warm this would have been 5.

My partner and I love coming here to eat. If we have a day off from the kids, we tend to pick here as the food options are varied, taste good, well portioned and generally a bit more exciting than other restaurants. We decided to brave it today with our small children, who were acting like typical children- the good, the bad and the ugly behaviour that you get with toddlers- so thanks staff and customers for not making us feel unwelcome. You all have the patience of saints. The children's menu had plenty of realistic kid's food options, they were served on small plates with colourful, plastic cutlery, the snack option was healthy and there was a toy box to keep them entertained whilst they were waiting for food. This was a really nice touch and a great idea to keep little one's occupied. You've thought of all obstacles when dealing with young diners. It's nice to find a place that wants to include our youngest members of society, rather than just including children's options as an afterthought.

Really enjoyed my experience at The Lupo Lounge. It was a mid week night and pretty busy, we hadn’t reserved a table but were lucky enough to find one when we arrived. We partook in the 2-4-1 cocktails as it would’ve been rude not to, they were spot on!! The food came quickly and was really tasty. The prices reflected the quality and I wouldn’t hesitate to return. The interior was a little dark which perhaps makes seeing what you’re eating a little difficult but that’s just a minor point.

It’s a shame I have to write this review as I genuinely don’t like doing this, The food was terrible, dry chicken, plain and poorly presented, and we waited nearly an hour for our meals to arrive! But despite this I had no intention of leaving a negative review, instead I chose to mention it to the manager to give her an opportunity to rectify the situation, She acknowledged that they had a “really bad night” and apologised, but still chose to let us walk out the door unhappy making no effort to find a solution, Everyone has bad days we are only human and mistakes happen, but it’s how you deal with the situation and that was the biggest disappointment!

When I came for a meal with my family we was immediently given poor customer service from the staff, forgetting drinks and having a sly attitude all thoughout our experience. VERY UNWELCOMING! MOST OF ALL THE FOOD WAS UNCOOKED AND RAW! I ordered a beef burger which was bright pink and I felt sick! I asked the waitress wearing a Naruto top for a refund and told me it would come to me in 3 days time but NEVER DID! I spent £15 on this meal which wasnt even cooked and was never given a refund.

This is my review of Compton Care. Out of loving remembrance for my mum I'll be honest and respectful. Compton Care obviously excels at many things in regards to how well it functions, the quality of the building itself, the professionalism of most of the staff, the aesthetic and mostly calm environment, the beautiful architecture and landscaping, but there were some things that bothered me a little and I feel could be improved. Some of the good: • Hot drink facilities • Family can also order meals onsite • There are therapy dogs that visit patients, which is wonderful and interactive Why I removed two stars: • Transparency. The dying process can be complex and distressing, especially if you don't know what's happening or why certain medications are administered. You're not told what the side effects are. You're not told, unless you ask, what the signs of dying are so that you're prepared. I got most of my knowledge from Google and the two nurses who did take time to speak to us family members. My mum was admitted perfectly mentally sound and communicative, but due to her pain had to be on high levels of pain relief, ended up confused and distressed and then had to be sedated to combat that confusion. They call it terminal agitation. • Mixed messaging. One of the nurses refused to give my mum additional pain relief at my request, because she said my mum's knees would be up if she was in pain, but she was heavily sedated. My mum never moved once during her last week. She couldn't have moved her legs. All she could do was twitch her thumb (which she did once), facially wince, or do brief movements of her eyebrows. The same nurse also talked over my mum a few times and appeared to question whether my mum was really in pain, when my mum was still able to communicate. My mum was someone who barely took painkillers when she was healthy. She had Pancreatic Cancer. I can state quite emphatically: she was in pain. I still now (in 2024 - my mum passed away in November 2022 - highly dislike the nurse who added frustration and discomfort to my mum's last days. Her name began with an R. • My mum had a sore on her bum that caused a lot of discomfort for her and I feel could've been treated sooner. • After my mum's death (which I nearly missed by seconds) she had a sore on left ear, which both myself and it seems the staff hadn't noticed, and it must've been painful for her because she winced whenever her head was moved even a little (despite her heavy sedation). • Some staff are friendly and compassionate, but there were a couple whose manner could have been warmer. They would enter my mum's room and not even acknowledge family, let alone speak or introduce themselves to my mum. My mum valued manners and a friendly manner a great deal. She had worked in social care herself and was always kind and compassionate to the people she cared for. Just because someone is dying they don't stop being a person. They still exist. They still need to be acknowledged. • Some of the night staff are a little noisy (banging bins, laughing etc) but thankfully it didn't disturb my mum. Some more good: • The good staff who laugh with you, interact warmly with the patient and explain things to you • Therapy treatments are available for patients and family • You can bring your own pets • Doctors constantly reasses medication and pain relief and will answer direct questions • The food is good (although sometimes my mum asked for certain things and didn't get what she asked for, but this did improve later until she could no longer eat.) One of the catering staff (blonde hair in a ponytail) always went that extra mile and showed my mum so much compassion. • Receptionists are super friendly and welcoming • The Chaplain lady was very kind and compassionate also • The fact family can stay the night with loved ones Overall, Compton Care aided my beloved mum in her last days. It wasn't perfect and some things could be improved. However, my mum went as peacefully as is possible with a heinous disease like Pancreatic Cancer. She fought until her last breath.
