Bar staff vaping at the bar accounts for low score really not appropriate. People sitting at the bar so it was difficult to get served in between them. Customers swearing a lot at the bar in conversation and unpleasant to listen too. Inside could do with a refurb. Friendly nice waiters and helpful kitchen staff. Ordered Sunday lunch it was a big portion and one of our party enjoyed it the other didn’t. Pleasant sit outside by canal.

Had a fish and chips, my wife had scampi and chips. We asked about whether the fish Batter had milk in as my wife is lactose intolerant, they weren't sure, so my wife had the scampi and chips and hopefully they would be okay. It wasn't, it's had a really bad effect on her lactose intolerance! We think you need to start providing an allergy sheet to safeguard yourselves

When we went to the are the woman was having a go at and swearing at two men who wanted a refund. The chef was very rude with little to no hospitality. More cussing than cooking. Vented to us about people not taking orders. Shouts out meals, not ticket numbers. Many Holes in polystyrene, asked for double vodka .Really crispy outside of patty , almost burnt. Chips nice and crispy Pizza taster microwaved up and quite cold with an odd after taste. Very crumbly hotdog bread like fine sand grains. Worker drinking a Budweiser. Chef with no hair net on. Mistook an order and left someone without food. Closed to due too many orders, 52 minutes before end of service. Took someone’s order while they closed it from the side door. Every order took forever. Even a small tray of chips.

place nearly empty: fairly unfriendly clientele hovering at bar. canal full of green algae (not the owner's fault, per se, although it could do with a clean-up). some menu items not available. bartender wanted us to come inside, although there appeared to be "functioning" tables outside.. (early summer at time of visit)... we were served food in good time and a friendly bar lady served us fast when we arrived...plenty of seating inside with big tables. unfortunately, food portions on small side and battered cod was (almost) incinerated. didn't appear to be any real ales available. Can only award 1 star: I do not wish to debate seating arrangements on a quiet night out with friends.

Absolutely abhorrent customer service and severe lack of human decency. Arrived as a small group, a few with masks and 2 without including myself (exemption due to severe asthma). Within 30 seconds of entering the building 3 members of staff (2 behind the bar and one in front of us) aggressively yelled at our group demanding we wear masks. Attempts were made to try and explain my condition and exemption however I was confronted by the man from behind the bar who continued to ignore me. It wasn't long before all three staff members shouted us out of the building, clearly to the alarm of the surrounding customers. I would never consider returning to this place again and highly advise anyone considering making the trip to look elsewhere. There are an abundance of nice restaurants/pubs/bars in the area who are extremely welcoming and despite having strict Covid-19 rules they were able to calmly explain the situation to us and even went above and beyond to help us access the beer garden without needing to enter the building and providing masks for those who needed them.

Thought we would try this place tonight being as a poster is outside saying that it had won an award. The missus had her usual meal that she has from every Indian restaurant we ever try , which was Mixed veg biriyani , tarka dhal side dish and this time had a peshawari naan. She said the biriyani didn't seem like it used fresh vegetables and tasted like everything had come out of a tin and had been microwaved. The tarka dhal was the worst. Now when I've seen her have this before , it has been jam packed with lentils and garlic slices in a thick sauce with usually a layer of oil on the top where it has settled. The one from here was watery , had really no lentils or garlic in it and was just watery. She said the whole meal was bland and tasteless , but did seem peppery Now , I had mushroom rice , which seemed ok and a chicken rogan josh , which had tomatoes in it , which it should , but something in the curry had a vinegary taste , so not nice. The keema naan didn't seem to have an meat in it , as I could see , as usually from other Indian restaurants we have used , they sell keema naans that have a bright red keema meat in them. The yoghurt mint dip we were given to accompany the poppadoms , looked grey instead of creamy green , so much so , that my other half didn't even eat it ( I'll reserve my judgement yet , as I havent tried it yet). The restaurant has good decor , but being as it is in Bentley , the area isn't a good one and the site where it is , isn't the best , having two burnt out retail units nearby. Anyhow , not the worst curry , but not the best we have had , so much so , that i don't think we will have a return visit here.

Was having a great night at this venue, I think they did an amazing job at having a charity night for (BHS) British heart foundation, I’m all for that, however I was un impressed by the staff who threatened to remove us from the venue for turning the outside music up a little, as this boosted the atmosphere and ultimately our group was purchasing more drinks, I was then confronted by the licensee. this really put a downer on the night in my opinion, as he stated that they can’t have loud music on outside as the local neighbours witch is understandable, but I wouldn’t have music on at all if it caused an Issue, personally won’t be attending again spent a lot of money at the venue just to be treated like crap really. Very poor and venue had next to no customers in on a Friday night. Wouldn’t recommend as staff are very poorly trained but of embarrassment to the company.
