The Bank — Restaurant in England

Absolutely love the bank bar, friendly service and atmosphere everytime we pop in. Can I point out the odour isn't the bank bars fault, asda next door also has the same problem due to drainage. The pub itself is lovely and clean, staff are always friendly and go bobe and beyond to ensure your visit is enjoyable. My daughter is autistic so has sensory needs with food but the owners and staff always go above and beyond to cater for her needs, (some places are really rude about doing this and will only say what's on the menu is for offer) .

It doesn't, and the owners need to clear the way for the spenders who could transform their establishment, which, in such a prominent position, should be prospering with the clientele it...

Nice place, food awful. We went as a group of 4. We're not people who complain. Lettuce in burger was black and limp, when sent back it had just been turned around in the bun, chips were hard, probably reheated, breaded mushrooms were burned and soggy in fat, scampi in breadcrumbs was so overcooked and that at first I thought I'd broken a tooth. 'Warm' chocolate fudge cake was served cold ie straight out of the freezer. Interestingly it's the only place I've eaten when nobody approached the table to check that the food was OK. We went because of the good reviews. Maybe it depends on who's operating the fryer and microwave! Clearly they were having a...
