Wonderful food and staff great value for money and excellent disabled access
We visited yesterday for a 60th birthday celebration and was treated to gorgeous food and lovely helpful staff. Disabled access was good no stairs and toilets on same lev l too
Highly recommend this restaurant fantastic experience
Tried to book a table on the website twice, me and my mum both rang and no one answered so we left a message for them to call us back saying our phone numbers but we never got a call back, disgusting service.
Went has a party of 3 girls, 1 of us being GF and we have nothing but good things to say! The attentiveness of the staff was amazing, from the get go! Cocktails were 10/10 and the beef wellington alone is worth the visit.
We had the sharing plate of prawns whitebait mussels calamari and a glass of crip white wine .It reminded me of unassisted de fruits de la mer.l just need an excuse to go back.

Used to come here regularly but last time was around 18 months ago and the food was lovely , thought I would give It another try after it reopened., I was very disappointed the food was no where near the quality it used to be the chicken in the curry was a horrible texture like it hadn’t been cooked properly the curry didn’t have much flavour, the lamb chop starter was poor at best very chewy and like the curry lacking in flavour. Shama used to be the best but it’s been overtaken by the 2 curry restaurants in the town centre what are far better.
It will be definitely my last visit to Shama unless they up there game (higher quality of ingredients and better quality chef)
It was very poor, come on Shama you can do way better
Very disappointing visit overall - Made by Jonty has been on our list to try for a while but we have only ever been for coffees before and wanted to try out their brunch menu. Sadly, we won't be coming back again.
The service wasn’t great—our waitress came to take drink orders, got halfway through, and then just walked off before taking the rest of the table’s. Not a huge deal in itself, but it kind of set the tone for the rest of the experience. There were also a missing ingredients from the items we ordered and no offer of alternatives, which was frustrating.
I ordered the waffles and was really let down—they were clearly the pre-packaged Belgian ones that come pre-sugared, topped with a very sweet compote, chocolate sauce and cream. I’ve got a sweet tooth and usually go straight for the sugary options on a breakfast menu, but this was way too much—even I couldn’t eat it. Everyone at the table tried a bite and all had the same reaction—just overwhelmingly sweet and not in a good way. Sadly, I had to send them back because I genuinely did not think they were edible.
Even if the flavour had been better, it’s hard to justify over £10 for store-bought waffles with some toppings thrown on. The rest of the food around the table was average at best—nothing terrible, but nothing to rave about. Overall, extremely underwhelming.
I did speak to the owner and politely asked if there was any chance the waffle could be taken off the bill. I was totally understanding that he might say no, since I had ordered it—but the way it was handled was pretty poor. He was defensive and dismissive, which really put a dampener on the whole thing. I feel like there are much better ways to have that conversation with a customer.
Sadly won't be returning for even a coffee anymore after the experience and disappointed it didn't live up to expectations after all the rave reviews on Google.
Note post reply from Made by Jonty:
Sadly, I am even more infuriated by my experience now, as the response from Jonty is simply not true. Firstly, I had only eaten around 10% of the dish and when we were asked if the food was ok my friend responded yes (because hers was fine) before I had chance to respond. I also never stated that it was unreasonable to decline removing the item from the bill. I fully understand that Jonty has a business to run (and I said this when politely asking for the item to be removed) but I had issue with the attitude with which he declined to remove it, and the quality of the item itself. The food was simply inedible, and respect and Integrity were missing from that interaction, that is where the issue lied.
The server Lydia was amazing her commitment to ensure our Celiac needs where met was admirable she was genuinely very be of the nicest servers and people I have ever been served by her alon is five stars plus her comitment to improving our experiance and speaking with kitchen was fab - Lydia alon is a five star employee !!!!!
Great evening for my friend’s birthday, which was noticed by the staff. Our waiter Harry kindly gifted us a free dessert on the house to celebrate. The live music was also amazing.
