   The food and drink were great however we got sat in the worst possible place away from everyone and everywhere to get food and drinks.

   I paid a deposit to book a table but this was not refunded when we turned up. I have emailed about this but so far had no reply (this was only sent yesterday so I'm happy to wait). The ambience would have been nice if it wasn't for the queues - 45 minute queue at the bar and the toilet queue was unbelievable. It was quite loud and rowdy but I didn't mind this too much. The place was absolutely packed, there were too many people and it didn't feel safe. The staff were pleasant enough but there weren't enough of them on the bar. It put us off ordering food because the place was so chaotic. Ive been to Freight a few times but never seen anything like this. Yes the football was on but it really did feel too busy and this took the edge off really as queuing for drinks meant we hardly spent any time at the table catching up with friends which was a shame.

   Amazing place to eat and drink. Great value at smoking coal- the sharing platter was gorgeous. Drinks were also lovely, great selection and fast service. Only problem was unsupervised groups of small children running right past the table on a loop screaming. No problem with parents enjoying the venue with their children, but don’t have them running round alone like that- it’s not a crèche.

   Food was great. Salt and pepper chips a little disappointing but everything else great. It was quite loud due to the bingo but fab time.

    Visited early Sunday afternoon 1.45 with our two young teens. Nice sunny day thought would be a good atmosphere. First impression was poor atmosphere low playing chilled music. Half of the bars and ice cream hut not even open! Poor quality expensive drinks. A mojito that was ready mixed and a double gin and tonic in a normal tall glass and flat tonic from a scyphon not from freshly opened bottle @ £10 asked for a proper gin glass and told this was it. Frozen mocktails lovely and hand made was the only thing we liked for our kids. Food very mediocre and expensive. Heated up pizza. £10 a slice. Arcade token paid and some games didn't play - no one around to inform. Not much for teens let alone kids to do given they are very welcomed there.
