Last weekend we invited 19 friends and family to celebrate 4 birthdays and an upcoming family wedding, Porada didn't disappoint. Everyone had a fantastic evening. The team at Porada are fantastic and catered to everyone's requirements including gluten free and a specific cocktail my brother wanted on his birthday. Thank you for helping to make family memories x

Great food at a very reasonable price, service was great. Only slight comment, plonker waiter wants to faff about putting cheese on your meal, it's not funny to give little and then 3 spoons of it, be normal.

We visited on a Friday night. It was a meal where you thought afterwards that it was really worth it. The best lasagne ever and the highest quality king prawns and beef stroganoff - you just can’t buy or make Italian food like that. Excellent service from a team that really cares that you enjoy your evening.

It can't be easy dealing with a group of 21 guests but that's what Porada had on their hands tonight, and they did a very good job of it. The food was tasty and the waiters handled the large mix of orders well. All in all everyone had a good time and would come again.

We've not eaten at Porada since before covid and I can say we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The service from entering the restaurant straight away was very friendly by the gentleman who opened the door for us, the waiter who took our order was really informative and friendly and so was everyone else we spoke to including the Manager's. The atmosphere was lovely, really nice Italian background music which along with the delicious food made our experience a really enjoyable one. We ate from the Sunday 3 course set menu which was such a bargain. Loved it so much we have booked to return. Thank you team Porada!

Booked a table for 2 on a Saturday night for a birthday meal. We arrived to chaos ( and much shouting) as we were told to wait 'at the side' for our table and then it appeared that 2 servers thought we were in fact to eat our meal 'at the side' , in a very busy corridor. All was finally resolved by about 830, whereupon the evening picked up with terrific food and a great waiter. So in summary I'd just advise to get the basics of booking and communication right, as the poor start nearly ruined the evening.

We visited Porada on a Saturday night and arrived a little early but out table was ready and the staff greeted us straight away. The whole evening was excellent great service we ordered drinks straight away and no delays with food or service . Garlic bread to share and ribs to start both excellent everyone enjoyed the starters especially the mussels. We had a range of mains steak, chicken, sea bass and a pizza all very nice alas we didn’t have a sweet as we were too full but a cocktail and a gin both very nice it was our first visit but it won’t be our last.

Sunday afternoon. Family occasion. The food was very good. The atmosphere, the venue itself is clean, roomy and light. Well appointed. Unfortunately the service, being kind, was poor. There seemed to be an off-hand feeling about the staff, and the one lady was obviously upset about something. Which tended to lower the atmosphere. There is a car park at the rear, but there are rrd works next to the restaurant and we parked elsewhere. A pity, because the food is worth a visit. We must have picked a bad day.

The last time I ate at this restaurant before tonight was nearly 8 years ago and I vowed I would never return because of how poor the service was and how tasteless the food was too. Fast forward 8 years, I thought, let's give them a second chance, if this restaurant has been open for that long they must be doing something right? After tonight, I admit that it must be a complete and utter mystery. We were a large group and had to wait 25 mins for our booked table. Then it took another 20 mins for the menus to come and when the waiter was called over, he rolled his eyes at us. The food was very poor, tasteless in fact and all of us thought that. The only thing that went quickly were the chocolates they brought at the end with the bill. It then took another 15 mins for one of the 4 staff to arrive with a card machine. We paid and left quickly. For the second time in my life, I vow to never return. Let's hope I can keep that vow this time.

Our second visit (sorry I don’t do photographs) I cannot fault this restaurant and it looks like it’s going to be our favourite ❤️ The food, service, atmosphere are all fantastic, I cannot praise them highly enough - it is also, very surprisingly, very good value for money. We were made very welcome, as though we were old friends but they did the same with everyone. You go out to enjoy yourself and what a very pleasurable experience this restaurant is. Many thanks, John & Sue

We came as a party of 7 for a special birthday. Cocktails were lovely and great value for money. Food was amazing from garlic bread, chicken in mushroom sauce, spaghetti bolognese, mussels & prawns, all 7 of us were very pleased with our meals! Service was great, waiters interacted & had a laugh! They sang to the birthday girl and the atmosphere was spot on. We were in a booth area on a large round table and it was like perfect seating for us. We can’t wait to come back and bring our partners so they can try the food here too. Would definitely recommend coming here. Great for friends/family/date nights.

My daughter booked for 4 of us to dine for my birthday. It was 4 pm and no other diners here. However, the whole restaurant was fully booked for an evening party, and this was probably why late afternoon dining was restricted as they were preparing the dining area. The staff were exceptionally friendly and polite, and nothing was too much trouble. The food was well presented, very hot and tasty. The service was excellent. At the end of our meal, the staff brought out a large profiterole with a candle and all sang happy birthday, a funny and thoughtful gesture. Will definitely dine here again.

Worst restaurant we’ve ever been to. Not only was the food bland, there was a HUGE hair in the food. When speaking to the waiter he told us the chefs were all bald however we could clearly see a girl in there/ wasn’t making it up? The staff were very rude the whole night - that is what little staff there were; there was about 2 members of staff all night. It does look nice as a restaurant but would never return or recommend!

We arrived on time for our 830pm table but after 30 minutes we were still all stood at the bar no seating was available when our daughter politely enquired how long the table was going be she was met by a very rude response from the member of staff who said he had no idea ask the manager we did and were told they we’re waiting for a group to vacate the table and could not give us a time then the other member of staff came back and said told you I didn’t know the restaurant looked chaotic and poorly run after 40 minutes we just left thank you porada for ruining my wife’s birthday we will never again return

Went here for a family meal, have been once before and was not overly impressed that time either. The food is on par with most Italians as it is what it is… that’s why I gave it an average score. The worst thing was the service.. from being seated was about 15 minutes before someone arrived to take a drinks order then another 10 minutes as there was only one person behind the bar… Saw 3 men working there and a young girl servicing both upstairs and downstairs and one of them spent most of the evening near the front door… There was a good 5 -10 minute delay on both starters and main courses to be delivered to us all resulting in either waiting to be polite or finishing at different times. Would not return

Appalling service. We booked a table for 8pm and didn’t receive our food until 10.15pm. The waiter was extremely rude and didn’t apologise for the delay. We were there to celebrate a birthday and the evening was ruined. The waiter had previously been rude to one guest but we initially dismissed this but he was then arrogant and sarcastic. When the food eventually arrived it was wrong and again no apology. The food was dry and flavourless. When we received the bill they had then over charged us for drinks and added a service charge.

The welcome was poor and we had to wait for our table though it was booked . They were very busy and the service was haphazard and slow. We were basically ignored most of the evening by the staff and had to wait over an hour for the mains . One of the waiters was particularly rude and shoved my plate at me from the opposite side of the table. Busyness can be excused but not rudeness or poor service . Food was ok nothing special - they then overcharged us and added drinks that were not ours - would not return

As a regular customer, really disappointed the tempura king prawns have shrunk in size to what they once were, we both had a pasta dish my wife had chicken risotto and I had the cannelloni as soon as the parmesan cheese was sprinkled on top the dishes became very thick and stodgy! The garlic bread was way to thick and not cooked properly, it wasn't as though they were rushed off their feet in the open kitchen, here again why are the chefs not wearing a head covering? At the table of 8 next to us 4 people had fillet steak which was left / sent back as either being not cooked as ordered or being not of good quality. We told the waiter of our dissatisfaction but no one from the management team came over to discuss the issues we had with the food or even offer an apology. We used to love it here but won't be returning again which is a shame.

We made a phone booking for ten persons and we were assured the online menus were available . On arrival we were presented with a 2 course menu starter and main at the online 3 course price. price. It was disappointing to have to pay extra for the dessert. We were let down by Porada and the website still has not been amended showing menus they will not honour. Will pick a new venue for Easter where we can have what the menus advertised.

Gone downhill. Not the best start to the night when you’re seated alongside a party of 20+ who are better suited to Wetherspoons. Service slow, food mediocre at best. Only plus is the lovely young man serving, who is always polite, attentive and clearly knows his job. Lots of other nice places to eat she will be giving Croma a miss.

Really impressed with the ambience of the restaurant and lovely, friendly staff. So attentive and happy. However, the food for an Italian restaurant was a let down for us as well as being overpriced. Sorry but, I think there are better, genuine restaurants to be found.
