Quite pricey but lovely food well presented and a great atmosphere for a special occasion

Good place to take the Mrs for a romantic meal. Food is good and menu varied. The wine is reasonably priced which suits us. Gave the beer up as middle age means I carry it badly. The best night is a Thursday when they have live music on.

Celebrated my daughter's 30th birthday here with a party of 33 last night. Absolutely fantastic service,in particular Nick who was so attentive. Food was excellent and choice of cocktails is great. The live music added to the atmosphere. Thanks to Nick and his team we all had a fabulous night.

Nice place. Menu was fairly comprehensive. Service professional and friendly. However...when I order two steaks I would expect vegetables to be provided. Instead ..I had to order these as a side order of three, spinach, broccoli, carrots. ..which cost a further £10. So in recap...it's good..but not that good.

Decent pint and good range range of spirits. You can always find a place to sit in comfort/have a chat on one side or get up dancing on the other. Real mixed bunch of clientele here yet the vibe is cool, everyone seems friendly and approachable. Bar staff on the ball. Shop over the road and plenty of food places near by. Really nice place to get out for a few.

Really nice. Staff great. Food great. Cocktails and wine great. Live music was a bit much though, it was just not the right vibe. Maybe after 10pm or something? But during a meal when you wanna chat it just was annoying. Especially because the guy was awful haha.

We have stopped coming here on a Sunday evening, for our usual child free night of drinks and socialising, as they have a live DJ playing what I feel is ridiculously loud disco music. We felt irritated as soon as we arrived as the bar staff struggled to hear my order and my partner and I were unable to hold a conversation against the background noise. Thoroughly disappointing as this was our favourite place to come on a Sunday. It's lost its appeal as a chilled cosy relaxing venue.

Disappointing. We went for an anniversary meal on a Thursday evening. the first surprise is that live music is advertised on a Thursday but clearly was not scheduled. Also, while most restaurants in Stockton Heath are fully booked even mid week there were only 3 tables in use for the duration of our meal. This would usually indicate a reduction in waiting times and hotter food but did not seem to have an impact and sadly contributed to the lack of atmosphere. This is hardly the restaurants fault and likely just unfortunate but did not create a space that we wanted to spend more time in. The main disappointment was the food itself and the prices - For what was on offer the entire menu seemed £1-4 overpriced per dish. while seeming not a problem this adds up and certainly deterred us from getting starters £8-12/plate or nibbles£4-6/plate. We opted for the sharing board Chateaubriand steak with the assumption that it would be filling and if still hungry could go for a desert. The steak was a little smaller than expected and came pre-sliced - since we ordered it rare this contributed to rapid cooling even on transit to the table. on size it looked like two 8oz steaks sliced into 4 pieces each, and came with a single bowl of chunky chips, 4 onion rings, 4 baby tomatoes and 5 mushrooms. Unfortunately the sauces were also luke-warm and the steak under/not at all seasoned. While very tender it was not the deluxe steak experience we were expecting and when I explain that this plate cost £58 it explains our disappointment. We were both still hungry after finishing all of this but did not feel that spending further on desert would be satisfying or frankly good value for money. The service was good, the cocktail, wine and beer very nice but our conclusion is that there is better food, for better value and atmosphere elsewhere, both in Stockton Heath and Warrington. Again in fairness we did not raise our concerns to the staff at the time to give them an opportunity to address these issues but complaining about what is clearly just a standard there seemed unhelpful.

Sardines were not on the menu but to compensate, the restaurant sought to provide that experience through the ridiculous layout of tables. On arrival we found our table for 12 set on a table only able to comfortably accommodate 10. The waiters were faced with the dilemma of introducing another table into an area already pushed to the limit. The introduction of an extra table larger than the others just added to the overcrowding problem as the waiters has to barge their way through to serve other guests at our table or at the one behind. I was constantly asked to move to allow waiters past. Other times, the waiters just pushed me aside to be able to get through. The back to back arrangement of tables between ours and the one behind was such that chairs were touching back to back. In the end, the waiters gave up serving and simply passed meals to the head of the table so we could pass it down. I might be happy with that in MacDonalds no offence but not in here. This visit was in mid Dec so I suppose they are catering for the Christmas crowd. Well they got the crowd bit right but I rate the overall experience as very poor. Music was loud unimaginative. To cap it all, my steak was dreadful. I was able to eat less than half of it, the rest being gristle. I hope not to have to make a return visit.

Absolutely superb, Excellent venue, live music which isn't just average its exceptional. Food choice was great as was the wine and cocktail menu. Friendly helpful staff, went for a meal with the expectation of moving on but stayed there all night!
