    We had a great meal last night. Food was delicious, cocktails were great and the staff were lovely. It’s a beautiful place but the only bad thing I can say was it was a bit cold so turn the heating up a notch. We’ll definitely be back though.

    Hi Lynne. Thank you very much for your review and compliments regarding our food, cocktails and the staff. I apologise for it being cold that day. One of our main heaters had decided to break down on Friday, hence why it was quite cold in the building. We look forward to seeing you again.

    We booked a table well in advance to our date. Were phoned 4 days prior to our visit to ask if we were having food or just drink. When we arrived we were then asked again if we were having food after confirming we were days prior. We were then told the place was overbooked and we would have to wait for the back log to clear before being able to order food. We were there for 45 minutes with only a drink order taken. Unfortunately we left and ate elsewhere.
    Jimmy BadgersResponded 2 days ago
    Hi Laura. We are terribly sorry this had happened and take full responsibility for the overbooking. The booking system is now going to be heavily monitored by management going forward. Hopefully if you decide to book again with us in the future, you will have a much better experience with us.

    It was decorated for halloween with a spooky cocktail menu. Staff were very attentive and friendly. I tried a few from the halloween menu and got recommended a popular one to try off normal menu. All the cocktails were delicious and very promptly made. First time here but definitely be back.

    The cocktails are amazing but the service is so bloody slow. Staff clearly on drugs, her eyes were rolling and she was giggling when I asked her what shots there were available. Took them 35 mins to let us pay to go. Slowwww
    Jimmy BadgersResponded on October 22, 2024
    Hi Claire. Thank you for your compliments regarding our cocktails. We are sorry if the service was slow that night. But we can assure you that none of our staff are on drugs during shift
