    A wonderful place on a street with lots of choice. Volta never fails to deliver. The menu is great and the food outstanding. Not our first visit and can’t ever see us having a last visit!

    A great variety of food suiting all the party - vegetarians, pescatarians, meat eaters, low carbs, adventurous 3 year old. The small plates are not that small, so the 3 for £18 offer with some bread and nibbles is more than adequate for everyone. We couldn't manage pudding. It was very quiet but hardly surprising for an early weekday lunch in February - and an advantage with 2 small children.

    Food was incredible! We had such a good time. The service was a tad slow but other than that, a perfect place to spend Valentine’s Day 💕

    Our favourite date night spot, we couldn’t go anywhere else on Valentine’s Day. The Volta Experience menu was perfectly curated, we were let full and happy. As our favourite plate (goats cheese and honey) wasn’t on the menu for 2, we requested a swap which was accepted with ease. Friendly staff who are very attentive and a perfect date night ambiance without it being too quiet where everyone can hear your conversation! We love Volta
