We ate at the Bottling Plant last Saturday. What a pleasure! The place has a wonderful, eclectic atmosphere. It was fun just to gaze around at all the curios and artworks. We dined a la carte. Staff were friendly and enthusiastic, willing to respond and adapt to varying the set menu, and when the food arrived, it was beautifully presented and delicious. All told, a highlight of our visit to Plymouth, and somewhere we'll definitely visit in future.

I am not sure what was the worst thing about this place? First impressions were OK, just OK but not too bad. Menu looked good especially as there were a few options for veggies as well as the usual meat heads, not a surprise given that it is next door to a meat farm shop. Service was luke warm, not much of a greeting, but we got the menus quickly. Ordered a meat based breakfast for one diner and was going to order the veggie equivalent until I saw smashed avo on sour dough with poached eggs - one of my favorites. That sealed the deal. Plus two large americano coffees - black no sugar. Once breakfast had arrived we were pretty much ignored. The 'restaurant' was quiet another couple in for coffee and a lady on her own. Not exactly busy. The waitress found plenty of time to be on her phone though. Sadly the coffee was bitter, sour and not very nice - disappointing - but it is often the coffee that lets these places down. It tasted stale. But my breakfast was dire and the meaty one was greasy and just OK. Not once did the waitress make eye contact or check on us or our food. Maybe that should have been a red flag. Having pushed the dried, tasteless avo around the plate, tried to eat the sourdough that resembled white bread without a hint of sour, and cut into one snotty runny poached egg and another that was rock solid, I gave up. I waited and waited. In the end I took the massacred breakfast to the counter and put it down. Still the waitress didn't meet my eye. She did acknowledge that I brought my plate to the counter, with a thank you, and then proceeded to ring it all up at the till. As I wasn't ready to pay and had actually returned the horrible/dry breakfast she simply comped it. That would be fine, but it was my first meal of the day. There was no apology or offer to get me something else, no customer care. I got a glass of water and returned to our table. We settled the bill, nearly £30 for one mediocre breakfast and two horrible coffees. No one seemed bothered. Looking at past reviews I can see other complaints about the sour dough and avo. Wish I'd read the reviews first and not wasted money here. Won't be back.

I've never been impressed with the sound quality at this venue, but last night's Afro Celt gig was a new low. The sound system totally failed to project into the hall and had no presence. It's flat and lacks any dimension. You'd need to be right in front of the stage to feel any sense of immersion. Even then, the overall quality is low. To make matters worse, the sound engineering was shocking, with fiddles, pipes, flute, whistle so far bant in the mix that they could barely be heard at times. A really unprofessional event that left me feeling like I'd been ripped off. I'd be really reluctant to see a band here again. Frome deserves better.

Really surprised how I feel after our visit here here for breakfast. Stopped off for a late breakfast brunch. It was very quiet. And very muggy and warm inside. Big sign that says Wait to be seated - so we did. Then told to sit anywhere. Service was vaguely good. Excellent at times and dire at others. Got a menu. Placed an order. Little interaction from the waitress, but she seemed competent. First the coffee - wish I could use Emojis here. You know the one with the puking face. Sums it up. Bitter, stale and horrible flavour. Barely drinkable though I've had worse. Then the breakfast. One full English - greasy but ok - mediocre would be fair. But the worst bit was the smashed Avocado on sourdough. Bleeeuuugggghhhhh. The white bread toast did not resemble sour dough at all, it just looked and tasted like white toast, but I could have lived with that. A pile of Avocado and two poached eggs. One egg was undercooked with a runny white (YUCK), the other rock solid?? And the avocado was tasteless, dry and just horrible. So horrible that I barely touched it. I waited for the waitress to come over and check everything was ok? she didn't. So eventually I took the plate to the counter. She didn't look up and just said thank you (as if I had brought the dirty crockery back) and went to the till to charge for our breakfast. I said I wasn't ready to pay and that I had brought my breakfast back because it was dry and horrible. She didn't even raise an eyebrow, just said she wouldn't charge for it. She didn't say sorry or even ask if I wanted something else?? I didn't bother to tell her how foul the coffee was. True to her word we didn't pay for my breakfast, but the other breakfast plus two vile coffees was nearly £20. Save your money and go elsewhere. Wish we had. The waitress was on her phone in between serving food and really not bothered. Not impressed. We go out for breakfast often and this was the worst breakfast I have EVER been served. I could forgive the rotten coffee - I am a fuss pot when it comes to coffee but there is no excuse for poor food.

We had a nice meal but unfortunately we're very disappointed with the children's meals which offer very poor value for money given the very small portion, absence of any vegetables or salad and poor quality. My daughter is a fussy eater but the nuggets were only fit to take home for our dog. The adult shish kebab was very good. The lunch menu offered during the week offers far better value

Went with my dad and we nice loved the atmosphere and the food. I had the 8oz steak and he had the roll of belly pork and both were excellent. Large range of meals you can pick from all superb. Would definitely recommend!!!
