our table was available as soon as we arrived, it was the table we requested on the booking. The food was excellent and came within a reasonable timescale even though the restaurant was very busy. The service was very good and anything we requested came very quickly. A really enjoyable meal. Thank you

Great service, lovely food although we did order too much and couldn't finish it. Good mix of people, most of us were going to the Opera House opposite. Would definitely go again to this well established friendly bar

We booked for a family get together at 5pm on Saturday. There were 9 of us and were seated in the window area which is quite closed off from the rest of the bar. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a lovely lady who I had spoken to on the phone. She really made us feel welcome providing crayons and colouring paper for my grandson and making sure we were all comfortable. The service from start to finish was excellent even though the restaurant was quickly filling up with racegoers etc. The food was fantastic and the menu was very varied and had plenty of veggie options. Overall we had a very enjoyable time and will definitely be back! Thanks to Plonkers for making our visit so enjoyable!

The table was reserved way before we arrived so when we got there 30mn in advance it wasnt a problem. We waited a long time for the food to arrive but the waiting staff were nice and the food was good. Decent portions served. The drinks were served quickly and they added a raspberry to the glass for the prosecco so it was a nice touch. Would recommend and would return. Extremely convenient for the theatre as it is on the other side of a small quiet street from it.

Really good service food was very good , just a bit noisy with people packed drinking stood up next to your table but that's the hazard of a small narrow area.
