The Cocktail Kitchen — Restaurant in England

Went for brunch. Asked for protein breakfast but was told they only had a limited menu as the chef had walked out that morning. Was offered a choice of either full English or CK special so asked for the latter. Really wish I hadn’t. The barman who cooked and brought it out to me should not have been left in charge of cooking. (If you don’t have a proper chef don’t serve food imo). The muffin was burnt black. Two oversized sausages rolled out (one fell into my lap) as soon as I took the stick out that was holding the stack together. Surly common sense would tell you to cut the sausage length way and lay it flat. They didn’t taste nice either. Maybe not fresh? Bacon was undercooked though it says crispy bacon on the menu. Egg was terrible. Wasn’t offered any sauces. Had to ask. I had to go looked for someone to get some butter for the muffin. I found a member of staff sitting at the back of the bar to whom I requested some butter and another muffin. He took my burnt muffin back, literally with his bare hands. Was supposed to be ‘posh ketchup’ that comes with the stack but it was served without it. The cup of tea I asked for never materialised. The barman did bring over two free hash browns as an apology for the muffin but I really struggled to eat another two hash browns. Looking back I should have refused the food altogether and left but my hunger got the better of me. Also, the music was constantly being stopped and changed which got annoying. Such a shame, the food looks so delicious in the photos. Obviously an off day and I was unlucky enough to happen to visit at the wrong time. The barman tried I suppose. The bar staff are very nice and friendly maybe a little nervous? On edge? Think this might be due to the fact the place has not long been open and they’re trying to make a good impression. Bless them. It definitely seemed that way when I went for a few drinks in the evening about a month ago. As soon as I walked in three bar staff came at me asking if I’d booked but it felt a bit intense. I don’t think it helped having the owner walking round watching every move they made. I understand he was just making sure everything was running smoothly and just trying to help out but it was hard to relax for us and, by the look of it, the staff. That’s how it came across anyway. Needless to say we only stayed for two drinks. Not sure if I’ll...

Booked the Cocktail Kitchen for a 40th Birthday party. The staff were so accommodating, friendly, communicative and had set the venue up so well for the party ready for us to adorn the finishing touches. The bespoke cocktails were amazing and our guests all commented on the great service they received. As a themed party, we hope the staff enjoyed the weird and wonderful outfits that people arrived in. Might seem weird to comment on toilets, but the ladies were so clean and had everything and anything you could need. Perfect vibe, perfect space, lovely staff, can't thank them enough for making it a brilliant night. Well done Millie and the rest...

I had the pleasure of hosting a 30th birthday party at The Cocktail Kitchen on 15th February, and it was an incredible experience! From start to finish, the staff were absolutely amazing—friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. They made sure everything ran smoothly and went above and beyond to ensure our group had a fantastic time. The cocktails were expertly crafted, and the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. I couldn’t recommend The Cocktail Kitchen enough for any event. It’s the perfect spot for celebrating with friends and enjoying top-notch drinks...
