Never been here before but so glad we came. Just needed a quick bite to eat before a social evening and was very impressed. Lovely restaurant beautiful setting lovely atmosphere and a great menu and fantastic service. We had the Salmon and the Chicken Shish and it was absolutely delicious. We will come again we had a lovely time albeit brief. Next time we will stay longer for sure.

Excellent service, food. Great choice of food including gluten free menu. Thank you for a very nice evening meal. Very well priced, buy one main and another for half the price.

First time we've been this year and it was as excellent as ever. The place has a nice atmosphere, first class staff and each meal is cooked completely fresh and hence the great taste. All of the dishes seem totally authentic to us and though we've had several of them before, they are still a pleasure and so enjoyable. Can't really believe we've got this first class restaurant on our door step. Not forgetting there's a mid week discount on the second main.

A first visit for us, the decor is clean, modern and welcoming. It isn't that large so there is an intimate atmosphere, we sat downstairs but there is an upper floor. We shared a selection of mezes between us, all of which were very good, followed by grill dishes. My one comment would be that there was rather a lot of bulgar wheat served with the grill, three of us left a half of the serving. I would have preferred less wheat and a small salad on the side. The wine was reasonably priced and the service friendly and prompt. Overall a lovely meal at a reasonable price.

Sadly we haven't been for a while but took some visiting friend last night. We were not disappointed and our friends amazed that a restaurant of this quality was so close in a small town. A wide range of food on the restaurant, excellent gluten free menu and the staff able to talk you through any item on the menu. The food was excellent, as were the staff. They serve at a pleasant speed and don't interrupt, but seem to be ever on the watch as they come soon as you catch their eye. We will be back more often and regret getting out of the habit of regularly visiting

Great tasting food, service was reasonably good, a little slow but it was busy. Got charged for an extra drink on the bill, so they changed it, then after we had paid we realised they had charged us £3 for a still water when we only had a jug of tap water on the table, most places do this for free! Anyway, would recommend the food definitely, had some mezzes to start and then a mixed grill and a chicken shish. Was disappointed to see some of the dishes on their website weren’t on the menu, not sure if this was because of COVID or because it was eat out to help out night.

More atmosphere.The most important thing though .. the food from starter to pudding was excellent quality very tasty and plenty of it served on piping hot cast sizzling plates.The staff were very attentive and worked their socks off on what was a warm evening.Value for money was excellent under the govt scheme although I would have felt it a little pricey had we paid full price.In all a good night out and will definitely return.

All the food was excellent, well cooked, tasty and fresh. If we lived nearby we would go regularly.

The service from arriving to leaving was great, although the waitress was a little unsure of the wine selection we made. We ordered Chablis and she didn't seem familiar with the wines - no problem, we pointed at the wine list.The food was excellent and we had enough time between courses for it to be comfortable and not too long that we felt we were waiting.

Yes, Mother in Law babysitting as Kids off, so what to do for a Lunchtime meal for my wife's Birthday. Wanted her to try something bit different, and so glad I went with this gem of a place. Few years back we came for an evening Meze, but, they had lunchtime specials with loads of choices, so I went for it. Whichever meal you pick will be gorgeous, but my wife, a week later still raves about the meal. She had Halloumi starter and Iskender, whilst I had mushrooms followed by an Adana. It was all perfect, and the service was immaculate. The atmosphere was incredibly friendly, just like everyone was on holiday, relaxed, informal where the food was the feature. I was driving, so didn't do the raki, but my wife did get sparklers on her dessert which just proves this is a proper restaurant who puts its customers first My Turkish Coffee was served in a really unique vessel...and brings me to my only gripe. The owners have worked really hard on the restaurant, with loving care, creating fantastic food in a real friendly ambiance. The vessel I was served my coffee in are really expensive to source in the UK. The lady has had so many stolen, I was lucky to get this. They run a business, yet some customers think it is ok to nick their property...disgusts me...you should stick to fast food if you can't keep your grubby hands off others hard learnt property.Gripe with customers over....a fantastic meal, just the right portions, and with drinks and dessert for the 2 of us...less than £40, and absolute bargain. Thank you all at The Old Bank...we will be back.

My wife and I with our 2 closest friends dined here this evening 11/04/19. The Old Bank has become a regular place for us both to eat over the past 3 years, whether a lunchtime meal or evening dinner. The premises is clean, modern, classy and well presented. The staff are very helpful and cheery. Ellis the owner is always accommodating as his her husband. The range of drinks will appeal to many tastes, the 'Effes' Turkish lager is particularly nice. Spirits, wines and Beers are also available. The food quality though is excellent, freshly cooked to order and served very hot. The menu range is very good indeed, with many dishes worth trying even if its your first visit, and if you're not sure, don't be afraid to ask the staff for an explanation, they will clearly explain everything. I find no reason for anyone not to like it here. Thank you for another lovely evening again and see you again very soon.

Once again very tasty food, attentive staff and pleasant surroundings. We will be back. The only drawback is the parking in the area but that is not the fault of the restaurant.

My friend and I visited on a very wet Tuesday lunchtime. The weather appeared to have put people off of eating out as there was only 6 of us in the restaurant. This is such a pity as the £10 for 2 courses lunch menu is very good value for money. I had the hummus followed by the lamb stew and my friend had the halloumi and the chicken kebab.We also had 3 soft drinks and a coffee. Our bill was a very reasonable £30.

Myself, my partner, my sister and our parents visited this lovely restaurant last weekend, on Saturday evening. Firstly the decor was very elegant, and we were immediately impressed. Our drinks selections were taken quickly, however we did have to wait a little for someone to come and take our food order, which was a bit surprising as at this point, the restaurant was too busy. The young lady who took our order was polite and knew the menu well, and was able to recommend a variety of the dishes when some of our group couldn’t choose between a few. The food was delicious! We really enjoyed it. We ordered a few meze dishes to start including the baked hummus and grilled halloumi, which were all very good. All of our main meals were excellent, the flavour of the food was so good, and the meat was so tender. By this time the restaurant was quite busy, and unfortunately the service did start going downhill. It took a very long time for the plates to be cleared and even longer to be offered the dessert menu. We ordered our desserts and Turkish tea for everyone. Again, a long time after our order had been taken one of the girls returned to tell us that they had run out of vanilla ice cream but we could choose another flavour. (Sadly, with the exception of the rum and raisin we would not recommend the ice cream.) finally our desserts arrived, however my partners chocolate fondant took another ten minutes to come to the table, by which time we’d all mostly finished our desserts. The Turkish tea was yet another few minutes arriving after this. We wouldn’t recommend the desserts either unfortunately. The baklava was nowhere near as good as we have had in other restaurants, and the lemon cake/tart was frozen! We had finished our desserts for such a long time that all of the uneaten ice cream had completely melted, and still none of the plates were cleared and no one came to our table. We managed to grab a lady running past and ask her for the bill, the plates were still not cleared and 15 minutes later we had to ask someone else for the bill as it had not been brought and other tables were being attended to. The bill did finally come over and the plates were cleared at this time. Overall, we really enjoyed our evening, the food was mostly excellent and the service could have been really good, we would return and we would definitely recommend. The wait staff were working incredibly hard so think perhaps that some more staff would be beneficial at busy times.

We had heard good reports of this restaurant and decided to meet some friends there on a Saturday evening. The service, food and ambience were all excellent and the prices were reasonable. We will definitely return.

Having visited The Old Bank on a few occasions before we returned for a Birthday Meal. Once again food was fantastic and service was spot on. Just the right level of attention and privacy to make it right.

This restaurant has become one of our favourites from a wide selection locally. Always greeted by pleasant, friendly and courteous staff. Food is always fresh and service is not rushed. Good wine selection available and plenty of other drink selections of both alcoholic and non alcoholic. Very reasonably priced menu with a very good Turkish selection.

The lunch here never disappoints. Tasty, filling and good value coupled with good service and a well appointed setting. We never stick to 2 courses as the Turkish dessert and coffee are too good to resist. Consistent and reliable venue.

This was our first taste of Turkish food but it won't be the last. Our meals were excellent and full of flavor and the surroundings were lovely. The only downsides were the chips (french fries) were disappointing I would have preferred "proper chips" and the side orders were very limited we would have liked some vegetables.

We booked last minute for a quick evening meal out. The service was great, we were seated quickly and severed just as quick. The food was hot on arrival and super yummy! We have eaten here many times and would highly recommend the ‘Old Bank Mixed Grill’ - Marinated Chicken sis, Lamb sis, and Adana sis served on a sizzling platter with peppers tomato and onion and a choice of rice or bulgur (pick the Bulgur, it’s yummy!)

We went to the Old Bank Rothwell for a meal on Fri 7th Dec 2018. The food was lovely, the atmosphere was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Our waitress, Caitlin was very helpful and able to assist us in choosing dishes that suited our taste. She checked we had everything and that we enjoyed the meal. Super night out.

We went there on Friday after a recommendation from a family member. We picked a few starters to share and the I had the mixed grill (lamb,pork and chicken) kababs and my wife had the chicken kabab. The food was really nice and the staff were also very friendly. We had 3 courses each and a couple of drinks which came to £55 which we thought was less that we thought it would have been. We are hoping to go back there soon.

The meals are amazing and had a lamb dish that just melted in my mouth. Service is also amazing and the atmosphere is great. Would definitely recommend.

Easy to get a really, really good value lunch here but beyond that, the evening menu is somewhat limited - I find it hard to believe that all Turks eat is lamb and tomato based dishes?A bit of variety in the menu and this place would easily get another mark out of me
