Yet again a disappointment… Ordered Yakatori sticks, Honey, Sesame & Chilli Chips , with Japanese Coleslaw …. The Yakatori sticks were lovely, unfortunately the Chips & Coleslaw were a no show (again) ! The young man apologised, bless him and was lovely…The manager (who refunded me) no sign of an apology, instead, I was made to feel, I was at fault ! We live over the road, so it’s convenient, but it’ll be The Boot next time…. Such a shame….

Great venue for meeting friends ….usually amazing …..but last night’s food wasn’t great …. Tofu noodles were very greasy yet tofu not at all crispy. Husbands lentil dhal he described as pretty tasteless. Really hard to choose healthy options at Chilled Pubs. Not cheap so they need to absolutely nail the food offerings. Oh and I finished with a scoop of lemon sorbet …. It was insanely small, like a teaspoons worth. Won’t be rushing back, which is a shame, as staff and surroundings excellent.

Visited with wife to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Ordered food and drinks and had a pleasant and enjoyable meal. However was somewhat taken aback when it came to pay bill. Had to pay by card, and whilst going through transaction was prompted whether I wanted to pay gratuity of 10%/15%/or 20%. I personally thought this was outrageous and felt i was almost being blackmailed. I normally leave a cash tip at my own discretion which I feel appropriate and do not like to be told what to give. I think this practice needs stopping.

It used to be so good, but the pizzas have been value engineered so much, they’re just being tight on ingredients, So now you get very large pieces of flat bread with nothing on them, tiny bits of cheese, a few mushrooms, some tomato paste. It seems so sad when they used to be so good.

Was recommended this place by a friend, so thought we would give it a try for our wedding anniversary meal. It doesn't look much from the outside, but wow what a beautiful little place this is. Such a chilled out atmosphere and what they have done with the decor is very different and beautiful. The portion size of the food is extremely generous, and even though there was a slight issue with some of the food, we will definitely be going back. And without any hesitation, the particular item of food was taken off the bill. Our server, Henry, was amazing! We haven't experienced customer service that good in a very long time 👍🏻

Went for food which was absolutely amazing and cooked to perfection even though the place was absolutely rammed it looked like every table had the same service as we did which is great. Also asked them for a candle and cake as we were there for a birthday but came unprepared which they could not accommodate however after this without any further conversation they organised a dessert for the persons who birthday it was with a happy birthday message written out which we went even charged for...10/10 restaurant and service...the only annoying thing about this place is that it's 10 mins away from me and I never knew about it until last night which if I had known sooner would have been my local by now.

I went with my spiffing CURRENT partner for their birthday. She had yakitori sticks, I had chicken burger just to be different. I bought her two LARGE glasses of white wine, which had the desired effect and I almost got lucky when I got home, but I ended up throwing up on the cat instead and spending the evening in catio. That was much better than the pub. ;)

We visited here to have a family meal. The restaurant is so lovely with the greenery and blossom tree, all with tiny lights. We ordered steaks with various sauce, they offer quite a few one in particular favourite was blue cheese sauce. The meals arrived and they all looked delicious and well presented. The sauce that came with the steak however, was the consistency of milk and it was served cold, when we asked we were told all the sauces are served cold. I understand if you ask for ketchup it would be cold, but a pouring sauce not so. The waitress though was delightful and took the sauce back to the kitchen to warm it, the consistency obviously no change but at least it was a hot sauce to pour over the steak and chips. I would say they are very busy and booking would be advisable. All staff were attentive and very helpful.

Recommended by locally living family whilst visiting the area, we were bowled over by everything the Bulls Head had to offer. The drinks we had were wide-ranging and fabulous (homemade lemonade with lemon sorbet, Cookie Monster cocktail, and a couple of IPAs). The food was innovative, plentiful, and beautifully cooked. A humming, relaxed atmosphere underpinned by attentive, purposeful, and efficient staff who were happy to give recommendations. Smart tech when it comes to paying the bill, especially if there's a group, the QI code at the table enables you to split the bill both in numbers and also items. It's not overpriced, either. We'll definitely be back when visiting. This has now become a destination venue for us.

I visited with my boyfriend in January for his birthday treat and we had a wonderful visit. The Bulls ahead is our go-to birthday restaurant and it never fails to disappoint. I have tried the pizzas, sandwiches and fish and chips, which were all stunning, but this time I tried the pit burger and my boyfriend tried the chicken burger. The food tasted amazing and the portion size was perfect. The chunky chips are also a highlight. The service is always efficient and the restaurant always has a good atmosphere. I like the online ordering and paying system, particularly the images of the food and the drinks so that you know what to expect. The cocktails are to die for.

Visited the garden room for my husbands birthday on Friday. Even though it was extremely busy, the staff were excellent. Polite, friendly and went out of their way to make sure our visit was good. The food was excellent and when they found out it was his birthday they bought him a platter of ice cream on a slate with “happy birthday “ on it. Parking was difficult and we had to park on the main road and walk in but it was fine. Reasonably priced for the quality and amount of food. Had a lovely evening. Will definitely try the pizza next time, they looked amazing. I have to recommend the Thai chicken, it was fantastic.

Good lunch menu of pizzas or other pub food (pizza and pub food are from different menus so order from only one to get your meals together). Pizza are a good size and lots of meat and vegetarian options plus one vegan option. Full bar

I can’t fault the Bulls Head on their level of customer service, ambiance or friendliness however because there are two kitchens that aren’t in communication with one another you may like us get a pizza if ordered half an hour before your other main meals so be prepared for this. Plus as they are so popular they squash in as many covers as possible, which will effect the quality of your meal. I’d order a popular choice off the menu, don’t order the veggie options as a lack of love goes into these limited options, which was what happened in my case. The staff however were most apologetic and did deduct it off the bill and offered a replacement but when you’re already half an hour behind the rest of your table and you’re given a time you have to vacate it’s not an option you can go with I’m afraid. Would I give it another go yes, because the staff were great. But I’d follow my own advice.

Walking through to get upstairs you realise that this is no ordinary establishment.

The Tapas menu has something for everyone to try and the old fashioned lemonade with lemon sorbet and a hint of mint gave me the same excitement as a child having a knickerbocker glory for the first time!I live in Manchester and I will defiantly be visiting again with my family.

Ate mid-week for a birthday party (3 kids 5 adults). All nice and pleasant service, food choices were interesting and prepared well. We felt it was definitely value for money. Taking off one star because the service (although very pleasant) was slow (about 1 hour from arrival before any food arrived, had to ask for bill, etc) and the upstairs room got very warm and humid (someone else mentioned this but it was quite uncomfortable). Probably better when its not raining and they can open the doors. Definitely worth a visit most of us said we would go back.

Stop what you are doing, whether it's building a brick wall, delivering a baby or having sky diving lessons, and get yourself down to the Bulls Head, Repton.This is a true culinary extravaganza at a modest price, add a sprinkling of super friendly staff, and a great pint of Blue Moon craft beer,and you seriously would be stupid to go anywhere else. It was our wedding anniversary and we booked a table for 2 (obviously) & ordered the chicken teriyaki hanging skewer thingy, with a choice of 2 sides all for a very reasonable price.You've seen Homer Simpson sorta drool and make that funny noise, well that's kinda what you see customers doing when they carry your food through. And the staf, wow finally a place who aren't scared to strike a conversation, take pictures for you and offer enough assistance, without being pushy.And to top our experience off, a gift desert for our anniversary, laid out to look amazing. If you are celebrating something, do it with confidence, do it here, you won't be dissappointed. From the quaint bar, to comfy restaurant or the secret sun terrace, and the great staff. Nuff said. Cheers Bulls head, our visit on the 26th July couldn't of been any better x

Eating in at Bulls Head difficult if inhouse app not used, which is a problem for infrequent & computer illiterate people like myself. Cannot run a tab with a card behind the bar. Tables rather close together allowing adjacent loud conversation spoiling own table's quieter conversation. Other than that interesting & extensive menu giving value for money. Pizza excellent with takeaway option utilised. Insufficient parking causing overflow onto High Street which then hinders locals from accessing their properties.

The staff were very helpful and attentive, we shared a Camembert to start which was amazing, it was properly baked with a crispy skin which I had never had before. We shared a pizza which was very tasty but a bit stingy on the toppings which is reflected on the very good score but excellent. Very reasonably priced aswell!

Well after arriving and finding that the table i had booked online had not been booked after all, they did manage to fit us in a different room. My partner opted for the fish and chips which was reccomended to him and i had a burger. Not alot of choice on the menu though. My partners fish came in what looked like a box that you would store vegetables in, the fish looked as though it had been cooked about 5 times over and not much fish on it. You get much fish at Georges fish bar. Don't think we will be rushing back to this place sorry.

I visited with my partner one evening. He had the steak, which he said was small and cold with a meagre amount of chips.I had the pie and mash. The pie was lovely, however the mash had the taste and texture of instant, as it was bland and very dry. It was not freshly made mash without butter or seasoning, as this is how I eat it at home, so I certainly know the difference.

We arrived after booking our table although we were not impressed when we learnt we were not on the books. However, after about 5 minutes they managed to squeeze us in and even moved us to a better table later on in the evening so we did not have to rush our meals. The lovely Jamie, our waiter for the night, was always happy to serve us and helped us take away a doggy bag. The steaks were not the best, and the waitress didn't even know what she was on about as she called it a 'sterling' not a 'sirloin'. Overall, the experience was pleasant and will still definitely return and will treat this as a one off as we have never had any problems before.

We nearly all had the hanging kebabs & they were delicious but so filling we had no room for dessert!

We ate in the garden room which is lovely, a great setting, but we were pressed up against the bar and had waiting staff stood by us most of the time. The food was okay, but I object to the fact you have two kitchens that food comes differently from, I understand you’re notified of this, but why bother, you’re not eating together. There’s no coordination at all, so you’re eating half an hour apart from each other. The Calzone was undercooked, which was a shame. The service was sloppy too, having to ask three times for a bill is stupid, this place needs to tighten up its act, it’s fallen into the trap popular places do, plenty of punters so low standards become acceptable because everyone’s too busy to change.

9 of us pre booked for my twin daughters 20th Birthday family meal, the celebration was not mentioned at the time of booking. Although 6pm ish on a Friday it was very busy indeed. Nice covered extension at the back with a great visual ambience, a small courtyard on the way and the pub near the entrance looked really nice and cosy and traditional. Great service with plenty of staff, food was excellent incl. the yakitori stick starters. The pizzas were awesome full of flavour and very large, and I think reasonably priced. There was an excessive wait between pizza orders and a few mains {we knew and were warned they cannot be synchronised due to different kitchens} and an apology and bit of a refund was greatly accepted. My pizza was the best I have ever had, ever - although I have never been to Italy.The reason for our meal was revealed when asked and unexpectedly my daughters were presented with a Happy Birthday free pudding at the end - totally a nice surprise! Lots of draught beers and lagers to choose from, car park a good size but was full and parking busy nearby. A bit of a victim of its own success perhaps. I have made many reviews this is the first time I have submitted a picture.Well done to all the staff and chefs - we will return.

Very very little gluten free options and the staff seemed to have very little knowledge about the menu. Tables were sticky and i didn’t feel comfortable. Atmosphere wasn’t great. The food was actually not too bad, I had porchetta. Also had white wine spritzer but couldn’t taste much wine in it. Doubt I would go back. If I didn’t have a gluten problem there seemed to be lots of good options and it looked quite good. So I’ve given it a so so score.

Wow this place is absolutely fantastic! Great setting, brilliant team (Darren was our waiter and he was so friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, great with the kids and just awesome), great value for money too and loads of very clever touches that all build together to a really well thought and well delivered experience. We spend a couple of weeks staying with family in Italy each year and this is the most authentic pizza I’ve had outside of Italy. We also had big time food envy watching the porchetta be delivered to another table and a lots of yakitori sticks and hanging kebabs. If only I had 3 stomachs or lived closer (we’re about 2hrs away!) although we did manage a choccy-woccy-hoo-har which was amazing. If ever heading up North we will definitely make a detour and will pray to the food gods that ones opened up down south sometime!

Feel very disappointed to write his review, we raised our concerns at the time. However feel it wasn’t taken seriously.We booked early evening as we didn’t want a late meal. When we arrived the bar was packed, the young lady at the bar (1 of 7/8) behind the bar looked for our booking, which I had to point out where we were. Explained the table hadn’t been vacated and we could get drinks first. We ordered standard drinks, I asked for a Pimms and ginger, to which she struggled to comprehend and find on the till. Was told this would have to made on the cocktail bar and drought down. Couldn’t add drinks to the table as someone was on it. I waited 10 minutes for my pimms, and had to ask twice for it it. To the watch her make it herself. I then asked if the table was ready, she had to take the name again, suggested we just go up and found out ourselves. My annoyance other than the farce that was getting a drink was the fact she called me “darlin” every time.Up stairs the table wasn’t quite ready, we had to wait for that to be cleared and cleaned, a full 15 minutes after it was booked. A young lady came to take our orders, calling us “guys” it’s not TGI fridays, good evening would of sufficed. I ordered first, a burger, then my mum. She then came back to me to tell me there were no burgers (why were we not told this when we sat down). Not a problem as I usually have a back up. In the past when we have been, there has been complimentary bread, not this time. Although a large party behind us did. Out mains started to arrive around 7.40pm, the fish and chips were hot and the stroganoff was too. My husbands chips however were cold and had to be sent back and I was still waiting for my pizza. At 7.50 I was ready to cancel my meal and watch everyone else eat as no one informed us that there maybe a wait for pizza. Another table had to ask for theirs.We informed Chris we weren’t happy and would like to speak to a manager, which he said he was and that the pub was busy. We ate and my husband went to sort the bill, at this point Chris should of had an offer ready for him but was still going on about being busy, The Bulls head has always been busy. A discount was offered and accepted.What should of happened when we were seated by Chris, was told they were very busy this evening and there maybe a wait and there is demand for the pizzas.It left a sour taste in our mouths, having had such lovely meals for our wedding anniversary and my husbands 40th birthday last year.And I was so looking forward to the gelato

Good range of choice for food and always enjoyed what I have had served. Waiter service is friendly and good humoured. Environment is enhanced by outside in effect with plenty of plants about. The building itself has character and old charm about it. Really pleasant place to be. Welcoming to families and lovely touches for special occasions!

Really good service, provided by Darren, very attentive, several times asked, if everything alright. He was also very efficient, dealing with our party of eight. Been here several times as they have such an extensive menu. Atmosphere, brilliant too in the garden room. Love this place, always book for special occasions. Thank you again Darren, for your service.

Visited last night for a late Mothers day meal. The manager talked us through the menu. We decided not to order pizza because we wanted all of our food to arrive together. The gammon, mac and cheese and chicken sticks was amazing. I ordered the beef strogonoff which sadly was very bland. The chips was very good. Wrap up if you eat in the garden room because it is cold when people go through the door to the garden. Tom who served us was very attentive and courteous.

Have visited here before when busy and it was fine. But arrived around 3.00 for a meal. Went to the bar to get drinks waited nearly 10 mins for bar staff, three people their before me. Guy arrived excuse had to get coffee for diner. With the prices at the level here, you would expect regular bar staff on. Saying that after this ordered food. Food is good, but pizza came first, and again Fish and chips 10 mins later. Really when you Oder and sit together you expect food to arrive at the same time. Overall less satisfied than last. I know this may seem like moaning, but this is very good establishment, you pay for what you get, so I don’t want standards slipping.

Went for a birthday meal and wasn't disappointed. It was very busy and I'm glad we booked (it was a Saturday night). Food was great and the service excellent. Nice ice cream treat for the birthday boy. We were in the garden room, which could of perhaps been a little warmer, but then it was March. There was so much food we asked for it to be boxed up to take home.

Mum and I went for dinner last night.We went upstairs for dinner not the best place very hot and no window. However the server Zoe was lovely and caring about her customers. Before we ordered we got offered water and had bread with an oil complimentary which was very nice. We had a bbq cheese burger and stroganoff. They were both beautiful and so nice. After we had a Giant Cookie which was very nice and warm. The Chocolate orange ice cream really tasted like it it was lovely.Defiantly recommend however would defiantly say go to the Garden Room to eat as spacious, windows and lovely as been before to eat there.Thank you

Lovely quaint pub , advisable to book but have to say food was a big let down.Had heard rave reviews so couldn’t wait to try it but I wouldn’t rush back.Waited over 45 minutes for food to be served and then it wasn’t overly hot and my husbands fillet skewers were really chewy and couple pieces had fat on which surprised him as it was suppose to be fillet. Myself and a friend ordered bbq chicken skewers and they were burnt on one side and the chicken was dry.The dining area I sat in was the garden room which was really pleasant but it was cold and myself and friend and another couple on a different table put coats on towards the end, although the opposite side of the garden room was considerably warmer.The cocktails are nice and served in cute things like mini bath tubs and witches brew has glitter in it but that in itself wouldn’t make me rush back I’m afraid.

We have been here many times but not for maybe two years.On way back home from Derby called in for lunch.Had not changed much since last visit over two years ago, many dishes on menu. Unchanged (thankfully) and the wood fired pizza oven still there!Like other times we had a starter and a pizza to share and a glass of wine each.Both arrived quickly and were very tasty indeed.Service was prompt and friendly, the young staff all working hard as it was very busy when we were there at around 1pm.

decided to visit here as somewhere new to have dinner, we sat in the garden room which was really pretty, loved the addition of the blossom tree. starters were really tasty, only thing is the garlic bread is too salty and I couldn’t eat a lot of it due to that. The mains were tasty and the staff are really nice. We were served by Beth who was really informative and very personable, can tell she works hard. Overall we had a good time and will be dining again.

Was recommended this pub for lunch by my office manager.Fantastic welcome from Euean the young lad who was a great host.We booked the Garden room, wow, lovely tranquil atmosphere with tress, plants, twinkly lights etc.Euean advised us that should we opt for mains from different menus ie, one from steak, burgers etc and the other from the pizza menus, then it’s likely meals will be served ten minutes apart due to the pizza cooking quicker, so be prepared to wait!We both opted for the amazing chicken piri burger with Edam bacon and real chips with a side of coleslaw. The food was out of this world! The chicken was well seasoned/ spiced, succulent, tender, lots of cheese and bacon..soooo tasty. I had a pint of peroni, not bad although a little watery however, the wide’s New Zealand Sauvignon Blank Dashwood went down well.So, dessert. We shared an great crime brûlée...out of this world.At £42 great value and defo going back, with family.

Visited a few times recently and I cannot fault both the atmosphere and the food, both are always of a high standard. The garden room is stunning and just an awesome place to eat. When you are in the garden room though, be prepared to wait a while for your drinks, it's the only thing they don't get right, it's such a shame as it's hard to find fault with anything else, but drinks take an age to get to you, so order well before you need a refill.

Unfortunately I have no choice but to take to Trip Advisor to discuss how awful our recent meal at the Bulls Head was. I directly contacted management 3 weeks ago now but I have been ignored. I’ve previously been to the Bulls Head on many occasions and always been impressed on every visit. I had booked this evening to take my girlfriend out for our first valentine celebrations together. The restaurant is around a half an hour drive from home so we made the effort. We ordered Camembert to start - a favourite of ours. I’ve had the Camembert every time I visit so I knew what to expect. I was slightly alarmed when it got to the table - the bread was burnt and the Camembert was really congealed - similar to the texture of cottage cheese or gone-off yogurt. We had to send this back because it absolutely wasn’t up to standard. We were presented with a 2nd Camembert but this was frustratingly exactly the same - burnt bread and thick, congealed cheese. The consistency was jelly-like...not like the smooth and gooey type I have had before. At this point, we had to send the food back again. We were offered something else but chose to wait for our main - we were worried that our main was already cooking so didn’t want this to burn. I was quite disappointed when we had to wait a further 45 minutes for our main course. During this time, I noticed that another table had sent their food back due to it being burnt. I wonder whether the chef had the oven turned too high and food was being rushed out? I was confused. When our main arrived...we were quite fed up. I had the cauliflower meatballs and my partner ordered rump steak. My food was burnt and very bland - it lacked salt and spice. My partner’s food was also burnt - her steak was medium to well rather than medium rare as requested. Her chips were also hard and very oily - again, this led us to question whether food was being rushed out. Our waiter asked us how our food was - as my partner responded to say she was just trying it - the waiter walked away...I presume he must have misheard her. I also hadn’t been given opportunity to give my feedback - I was about to tell him that the meal was substandard. Both my partner and I left over half of our food. We couldn’t eat it. This is not in our character and we always clear our plates. We requested the bill and declined offers of desserts - we wanted to leave as quickly as possible. Our bill came to £44.00 - we promptly paid this and left. I’m absolutely gutted really that we have had this experience. When we look back on our first valentines together we will always remember the poor experience we had here.The food was absolutely APPALLING. I doubt I would ever return. Left a very sour taste in our mouths. EMBARRASSING for the Bulls Head as a brand. Poor shocking quality. It never used to be like this.Save yourselves the money and go somewhere else.

Table booked for 4.15 pm ,waited 1.15 minutes for food to arrive.Our 2 friends received their food & our food arrived when they had finished.When it did arrive it was literally stone cold.The manager was nice & asked if we would like a fresh meal,we opted for that & was told it would take about 15 minutes to prepare. 30 minutes later the manager came back to us to tell us we would have to wait a little longer.we eventually received our food almost 50 minutes from the 're order. The manager did take the cost of the mains & desserts for all of our party off the bill.The service was absolutely terrible, glasses were not removed from the table until we asked staff to do so.Also had to ask for cutlery to eat our main course with.As we were eating dessert & drinking coffee the young waitress was taking our plates away & then brought us the bill while we were still eating. Not impressed at all .So from arriving having booked our table at 4.14pm & just wanting to spend a couple of hours there we left at 7.51pm immediately ater finishing our food.We will not be returning here again.we choose the place going on the positive reviews by friends & the online reviews.A very negative experience for all of our party.

The Bulls Head, has it all. Real Ales, a good choice of wines and an excellent menu. The bulls head prides itself on the oven based pizza with a wide variety to choose from. It also has a garden area that accommodates various trees under cover where you can dine in the comfort and warmth available. Inside the pub itself, it lends itself to log burners and open fires, enjoy your evening whilst sat in comfort on the leather sofas allowing you and your friends/partner to sit in the comfort of a class pub/restaurant...

We came home a bit disappointed after our recent visit. Food was good but service was not great- was an hour before we even ordered any food and when the food arrived it was just dumped on the table and we didn’t even get a ‘enjoy your meal’ or asked if we wanted sauces. Everything after that was just even slower. We used to come here all the time and the service was always brilliant but just felt a bit irritated after this. I hope this was just a one off!

Met friends for lunch, bar was quite busy but not overly for Saturday, food was disappointing the mushrooms were scarce on the open mushroom sandwich and the ham for eggs Benedic was fatty. Not sure I will go back to the bulls head again with their sister pub the Swan being close by and after eating there a few weeks ago again with friends the food was great and the place busy and welcoming unlike today’s experience.

As a regular, calling in at least once a week, we were very disappointed with today's visit.The welcome from the young man behind the bar was good, however, the pizza we ordered and the service was not up to scratch.We ordered pizza which when delivered to the table was nowhere near as good as the previous ones we have eaten here with a vastly reduced topping.There had obviously been no morning prep prior to opening as we then had to wait for cutlery, then ask for napkins, we had no condiments and when querying why we had been given a steak knife to cut the pizza were told that the pizza cutters were up stairs and had to be washed.By the time we started to eat the pizza was cold...Service was poor during our visit with pizzas waiting to be served sitting on the pass a long time.Not up to the usually good service and food quality.Please get it right guys....

On arrival we were unsure where to go or who to ask about our table, the staff all were busy so we waited at the bar and asked there. We had to wait a short while for our table but not to long. When we got to our table we were stunned by how beautiful the garden room was and had balloons on our table as it was one of our party’s birthday. The waitress who served us was very nice, but seemed busy. We waited around an hour for our food, without an apology, whilst watching people who turned up after us getting there food first. I had the Cajun chicken and Brie burger, no Brie on the burger, just what seemed like Philadelphia with herbs in. I could not eat it. Chips however were very nice. The birthday girl found a hair in her food, they didn’t offer to replace this, just my chicken burger and the food with the hair taken off the bill. Such a beautiful place with a nice atmosphere just a shame they over book and the food is not up to scratch.

My Son’s 30th Birthday meal,6 of us,been before,always had fab food & we did again on this visit,I asked prior to visit,can I bring a birthday cake? Reply:Yes you can,but nut free, Can I bring sparkler & normal candles,as your web page only says no fountain candles.Reply:No,no candles allowed. We arrived,I handed over the Birthday cake,that did have “ may contain nuts”,no problem,not questioned at all,it was a chocolate/caramel cake from Tescos,gave them sparkler candles & normal candles,they brought it out when asked & sang Happy Birthday at the table,with all candles lit on the cake,a very special night,food was so yummy & the waitress was “on it”,can’t fault the night at all. Customer service reply to my comment about the night,was “managers discretion” on the night,fair enough,but,the reply I got could of stopped me from taking a cake & any candles at all! I could of cancelled the booking,if I’d actually not already been before & knew what a fab place it was with fab food!

Ordered the Classic Meal Deal on Uber Eats. Speed of service was very impressive, however it was clear that their speediness was due to lack of quality assurance for the order. Despite having ordered a large margherita pizza, cheesy bread and two diet cokes, I received a large pepperoni pizza, cheesy bread and two regular cokes (not even remotely correct really). I wouldn’t have minded apart from the fact both me and my sister are vegetarian so couldn’t even eat the pizza (what a waste of food). On top of that, Uber only refunded me half the price I paid, meaning I essentially spent a tenner on a tiny cheesy bread (make it make sense I beg)?! Then I tried to call the restaurant itself, and I am not being remotely hyperbolic when I say I called 10 times and received NO answer. Couldn’t even have a replacement pizza or drink sent over, so ended up eating a frozen pizza for dinner. Overall, really disappointing experience. There hasn’t been a lower moment for a Caesar since the Ides of March.
