I had the pleasure of hosting a 30th birthday party at The Cocktail Kitchen on 15th February, and it was an incredible experience! From start to finish, the staff were absolutely amazing—friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. They made sure everything ran smoothly and went above and beyond to ensure our group had a fantastic time. The cocktails were expertly crafted, and the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. I couldn’t recommend The Cocktail Kitchen enough for any event. It’s the perfect spot for celebrating with friends and enjoying top-notch drinks and service!

I booked for valentines evening at 9PM when I arrive to the venue they was closed, no message letting us know, no call or contact they just closed and have avoided contact since. I would not recommend , customer service was terrible

Hosted a 30th birthday here and the girls were so helpful throughout. They accommodated all of our needs and helped with setting up the venue. The personalised cocktail is a great touch!

Lovely food and good service, but absolutely FREEZING! They only had the air con on to heat the place (1 February), must’ve had the boiler off as the radiators were off and the water in the toilets was freezing cold even after running for a while. Not very pleasant. I sat the whole time with my coat on the whole time 🥶

Pretty average. Went for a brunch and it was extremely quiet yet we had to go over to the staff to ask for more cocktails/drinks. Very quiet atmosphere & quite a small area inside.

I hired the cocktail kitchen for my fiancées 30th birthday and from the very beginning the staff were so incredibly helpful and welcoming. From creating custom and personalised drinks to setting up all the decorations for me. Highly recommended this venue for anyone looking to hire somewhere for a party!

The Cocktail Kitchen has become our regular over the last few months and last night was the first quiz hosted by the wonderful Brie! Topics were on point and a great twist with a practical round at the end! Cocktails are amazing, with the Bounty Hunter being my personal favourite!

Had the most wonderful evening at The Cocktail kitchen for my daughters 50th birthday party. The staff were absolutely amazing, they couldn't have done any more for us. The food was great also the drinks were. This is the first visit under the new ownership but most certainly won't be the last. The atmosphere was wonderful & we will all remember this evening as one of the best we have had. THANK YOU Cocktail kitchenWe will be back.

Great place we came across randomly when we were meant to be popping out to do a 'food shop' 🤣 Manager came over a introduced himself and have a chat with us. Loved the feel of the place, great selection of cocktails, drinks and nibbles. Will definitely be back to try again.

What a great night at The Cocktail Kitchen for one of our Birthday's. The Food was excellent, we had wonderful Cocktails made from scratch as well as Beers and Wine. The staff and owners were fantastic and we even got to request a few songs which they played during the evening. We can't recommend this place enough it caters for all ages and it has such a wonderful atmosphere.

Went for brunch. Asked for protein breakfast but was told they only had a limited menu as the chef had walked out that morning. Was offered a choice of either full English or CK special so asked for the latter. Really wish I hadn’t. The barman who cooked and brought it out to me should not have been left in charge of cooking. (If you don’t have a proper chef don’t serve food imo). The muffin was burnt black. Two oversized sausages rolled out (one fell into my lap) as soon as I took the stick out that was holding the stack together. Surly common sense would tell you to cut the sausage length way and lay it flat. They didn’t taste nice either. Maybe not fresh? Bacon was undercooked though it says crispy bacon on the menu. Egg was terrible. Wasn’t offered any sauces. Had to ask. I had to go looked for someone to get some butter for the muffin. I found a member of staff sitting at the back of the bar to whom I requested some butter and another muffin. He took my burnt muffin back, literally with his bare hands. Was supposed to be ‘posh ketchup’ that comes with the stack but it was served without it. The cup of tea I asked for never materialised. The barman did bring over two free hash browns as an apology for the muffin but I really struggled to eat another two hash browns. Looking back I should have refused the food altogether and left but my hunger got the better of me. Also, the music was constantly being stopped and changed which got annoying. Such a shame, the food looks so delicious in the photos. Obviously an off day and I was unlucky enough to happen to visit at the wrong time. The barman tried I suppose. The bar staff are very nice and friendly maybe a little nervous? On edge? Think this might be due to the fact the place has not long been open and they’re trying to make a good impression. Bless them. It definitely seemed that way when I went for a few drinks in the evening about a month ago. As soon as I walked in three bar staff came at me asking if I’d booked but it felt a bit intense. I don’t think it helped having the owner walking round watching every move they made. I understand he was just making sure everything was running smoothly and just trying to help out but it was hard to relax for us and, by the look of it, the staff. That’s how it came across anyway. Needless to say we only stayed for two drinks. Not sure if I’ll chance going back.

Great service, all members; Jake, Emily, Lucy,Emma, Matilda. Special shout-out too Jake and Lucy. Lovely people, made sure that my meal was as ordered. Extra attention to detail with drinks (I ordered one off of menu). Would definitely recommend, great pricing for the area.

Food is fantastic, fresh and authentic.. Service is superb… Front of house, Francesco, is just fantastic.. Lovely Valentines Day lunch which was so worth the 25 mile drive to come to.. You could choose from the Set Lunch menu, Chef’s Special menu or Alacarte menu, all excellent.. Looking forward to coming back soon and trying the Sunday Set Lunch… Thank you for a lovely experience..

Such a lovely place. Cosy atmosphere and amazing service/food. We came for my son’s birthday and what a beautiful evening. All 8 of our party left stuffed and satisfied. Have to say the duck bao buns were a personal favourite. Also a mention to our waitress who was just everything you want when you go out for dinner. Friendly helpful and personable. Between the food and the service I honestly can’t rate this place enough and will definitely return. Thank you Chin Chin staff for what has been a favourite birthday meal for our boy - and the rest of us if I’m honest ❤️
