One of our party was gluten and dairy intolerant ... the waiter had to keep checking several times to know which items contained dairy. This was surprising given the limited nature of the set menu. Also, the only dessert option for our party member from the set menu was the poached pear which was not available, and we weren't aware of this until after the first two courses. This wasn't unavailable due to being sold out, but because the pears were unexpectedly hard, and they were preferring not to serve them. We opted to take them as they came, yet did need a knife and fork to eat them, but I don't understand why they didn't just warm them up to soften them beforehand. Plus also, it came with an aniseed coulis, which was originally advertised as a berry coulis, and the dairy intolerant guest really can't stand aniseed, so they ended up leaving the pear! With all the faff around the dessert, it ended the meal on a down note, and it all could have been avoided had we been proactively warned about the pear before we locked ourselves into ordering off the set menu. I was also surprised that there was only one dairy free option off the set menu... even just sorbet ice cream wasn't an official option, though it came as an addition to the pear?

We visited The Spice on 12/9/24 and were a large group. The service was superb. Very welcoming and friendly throughout. We were made to feel valued. The food was exceptional. Everyone one of our group said their dishes were great. Can't fault the place. Would happily return again.

Came here for the first time tonight as I had left it too late and it was the closest place that was open until 10pm. I feel fortunate for this turn of events as the food was delicious and the staff very friendly, the waiting time wasn't long either. I'll definitely be making this my new favourite Chinese.

I couldn’t use my Tesco voucher with Deliveroo, so I ordered directly from Pizza Express. The pizzas were ready on time and tasted delicious, but the slices weren’t cut well enough for easy distribution to the kids at the birthday party. However, the service was friendly and delivered with a warm smile. I’ve shared my feedback with Deliveroo. Thanks again!

We popped in for a usual pint and catch up with regulars on Saturday. The car park reguster is still positioned in its usual place right by the area people wait to be seated for food . This means that it can not be easily seen by people and is difficult to get to it would be better positioned either in the main entrance hall way area or somewhere that it can be seen and accessed without having to ask people to move so as you can use it. The bar was so busy, lots of confusion and the Landlady had to take over bar service, with people waiting for over 10 minutes to be served some (like us) were overlooked Some of the tables in the bar area were not cleared with dirty plates and glasses and some had not been wiped down. Since the refurbishment more tables have been added to the bar area so it is cramped and no way accessible for a disabled person. Whilst I appreciate you can never predict how many staff you need each day it was clear to see on the day we visited it was chaos and not the usual service we have enjoyed. Sadly, after waiting and waiting to be served or even acknowledged at the bar with a ' I'll be with you in a moment ' we left and went else where. What a shame as the refurbishment looks nice.
