   We had a great time at doll society bottomless brunch. The DJ was great and played all the best songs that had everyone on their feet. Viola Gayvis was a fantastic host and performer, it was a great day with great atmosphere. The only downside was the service, we were a table of three people and were pretty much forgotten about. We never got given the disco ball glass that every other table received and was promised we could ‘get someone else’s later’ but when I went about this, the staff member said ‘let me go check’ and never returned with an answer. Then I went up again later and was told that they weren’t serving drinks from the disco ball anymore and therefore we only received 2 out of the 3 paid for drinks despite every other table receiving them which was very disappointing as we had paid for it!

   Really disappointed with my experience. Staff were rude and service was appalling. The food was below standard and the drinks were watered down and it is very hard to get staffs attention to ask for another drink. Considering the price it is very poor value for money. On a positive note I did think that the drag queen was very good and so the entertainment was the only saving grace. I would not go again and wouldn’t recommend doll society.

   I celebrate my bday that day, was one of most enjoyable day in my life. Starting on reception, with our lovely staff(unfortunately I can’t remember her name), drinks, food, entertainment, the drag, show, everything, thanks a lot. I definitely will be back. And need to say congratulations to the organisers, the place is 200% improved now!

   Doll cancelled on us less than 48hours before we were due to go! Offered us a table at a bar called Jackie’s - which was nothing like Doll! Shocking customer service!

   The doll society cancelled my booking 3 days before the night, despite me booking 6 weeks prior.

   Watered down over sugary drink. Would have preferred two decent glasses of wine.

   Great atmosphere, fab drag queen, fab games/music, food and choice of drinks are alright. However.. We had a 1pm booking only to get there @ 1pm to be told it doesn’t start until 1:30. Weren’t aloud any of our drinks included in our deal. So had to pay even more money on top to have a drink for those 30 minutes. We were celebrating my best friends hen weekend and there were 4 of us on an extremely small table, there were lots of empty tables, with smaller groups on larger tables? I asked our waiter if we could please use another small table next and add it next to our tiny table so we had some space for our drinks ( large round cutlery pot, 4 champagne glasses, 4 cocktail glasses and a jug ( the food to also come) to us to be told the manager said no as someone was coming in to use that table, no one else arrived our whole session… very very disappointed with this as there was no room on our table for our drinks and food. This actually impacted our booking massive in a bad way. There were so many empty tables! We were the very first table to order food @ 1:20 before everyone else arrived, but were the very last table to get our food. Around 2:15pm!!! Very disappointed with this. Why did we order so early to have to wait till the very end? So the disco ball cocktail.. I went up to the bar to ask when we were getting one to be told when we’ve eaten. We finished eating around 2:30 and still hadn’t got our disco ball. Jump to 2.43 we finally get our disco ball cocktail with only 17minutes to drink it. I asked if we could take our whole hardly touched cocktail that we had PAID for upstairs. To be told no it has to stay. Are you actually joking?! I asked for a jug to take upstairs instead with the cocktail in to be told NO that must also stay down in that room. We had to fight to get plastic cups to bring our cocktail upstairs with. Not sure what issue ruined it more. :( Very disappointed to the extent that I don’t think I’d ever come back. Please do better!

   Lovely food, great atmosphere and the hosts were fab. But when you go for a bottomless brunch you expect to be atleast a little drunker than when you start. The drinks were absolutely abysmal. Took 25 minutes to get the first drinks and they honestly tasted like watered down juice. They look all fancy in the disco balls but they honestly were just juice and ice, the supposed prosecco was 5% and quite frankly wasn't tolerable. Sorely disappointed, but shout out to the drag queen, you were fab👌

    The performance was brilliant and we really enjoyed it, however, the service was really bad. We were there an hour before receiving anything to drink or eat. Some of the group received their food quick enough but others were waiting another half hour or more and the wrong dish kept arriving. Food was decent when it arrived and portion size was good for brunch. Go for the entertainment rather than the food.
