Polpo is a firm favourite of mine, however last night the drinks orders simply took too long. We were getting 1 cocktail & 1 beer! We had to follow up our order 3/4 times and only after then we received our drinks (nearly 30/40mins later?). I would have hoped for slightly better service.

We stayed from 13.00 till 15.00. We were really looked after by the staff and left an extra tip above the included in the bill tip. Very friendly in a good way. Food excellent though chops were a bit tough. Would definitely go again to this chain. Thanks

I think food is very good and still good value. However, cocktails are really overpriced for the miniature glasses served.

The restaurant was neither good nor bad. But nothing was memorable that would make me want to go back. Too many other places to dine at.

Was really rushed, waitress kept pushing asking if we wanted anything else, ccollect plates literally right after the last bite. pushed the bill to us before we we asked for it. Even over heard the waitress say to the manager " yeah I'll get rid of them asap to free up the table. Shame really as wine and food was great but that experience will not make me go back

Service great, ambience spot on, the only reason I'm not giving Polpo 5 stars is the food didn't really hit the mark. Dishes were small and I've had better Italian food elsewhere.

My Husband & I went for lunch for my Birthday. It's my favourite restaurant & we go every year. The one disappointment was that they'd taken my favourite dessert off the menu which was the Nutella Pizza. Aside from that, great as always.

Great atmosphere and great food. It’s always enjoyable sharing dishes. The staff could t have been more kind and helpful especially when I changed my mind about where I had asked to be seated. They really understood I wanted to move and made it happen. Thank you to all the wonderful staff. M Astle

Good we had booked this busy restaurant for a mid week lunch. Waiter Victor was knowledgable about the wine and enthusiastic in recommending dishes from the menu. All the food was served hot and was very tasty. A definite hit and we will be back.

We usually love Polpo but the service was incredibly slow and we had to check our order two or three times with the staff as they didn't know what we had ordered.
