Came for mothers day. Delicious wine. Lovely roast, good portions, great quality meat. Nice ambience and music. Friendly service. Delicious desserts. Everyone agreed they were the best part of the meal. Wonderful to be surrounded by all the wine making equipment and up at mezzanine level.
Roast could be improved by more veg and gravy, and (a simple but big improvement) if they served on hot plates. The serving of veg for 2 is more appropriate for a single portion. The meal was cold quite quickly. I've seen others say the same here and hope they take this onboard, it would make all the difference.
The red wine was absolutely fabulous but served with quite a large amount of sediment which ruined the last few sips to what was a really fabulous red. When I mentioned it the server said 'yeh our wine can be quite sedimenty' so I don't think the feedback was taken onboard.
Service was slow (we had to ask for them to take our food order after half HR of being there and we also had to ask twice for desserts. Resulted in us rushing at the end to give back the table by our allotted time. This all made it feel difficult at times when managing two kids)
Says 'kid-friendly' on website which is why we went for it, but catering for kids is an afterthought with no kids drinks or menu, no non-glassware etc. It would be fantastic if they could address this.
Would like to go back for wine and small plates in evening as the wine was delicious and I'd love to...
Read moreWe’re really excited to try the new food and Sunday roasts here. Booked a table but was not too busy when we arrived. Although the servers were very nice and friendly, my partner ordered a sampler of wines and when drinks arrived we discovered that he had an incorrect menu and got different wines to what was ordered, when we told the server she just laughed and said his menu was not correct. She did not take it away or replace it with a correct one. Quite baffled by this. Food was eye wateringly expensive, the plate comes with 2 thin slices of beef, 3 potatoes and what appears to be a pre bought Yorkshire pudding, and some gravy. A tiny bowl of 3 veg was given to us to share between 2, I would have been happy with that portion for myself but absolutely not to share. A ramekin of extra gravy and horseradish was given. I asked for some salt and pepper as the food was very bland (to my personal taste). They said they had no salt. I genuinely could not get over this. Fair enough if they have no serving salt shakers, but they should- they’re an establishment with a kitchen.., but to not even offer to get a little pot from the kitchen is what really bothered me. No check back during the meal. Bill was approx £120 for 2 x roast beef, 1 x wine sampler, 2 x cocktails, 1 x glass of wine, 1 x pudding & service charge. A man started playing the piano right behind us, was so loud we could no longer hear each other talk and felt like a clashing vibe...
Read moreWe always love to search for new quirky places to bring our friends to and especially a Dog friendly one. Renegade popped up and we had to try. First impressions was good as you enter a working brewery then up some steps to the restaurant. Up to 6.30pm was the happy hour but only between three of their wines. Now the big let down. We were at the bar - a non reserved space. We already spent up to £70 on drinks and food between the 3 of us. Enjoying the atmosphere and our friend reunion we are then approached by a waitress and her manor to ask us if we are going to order anything else was in the manner of stop wasting space for more customers. . The bill took its sweet time getting to us and by now practically all the staff were looking at us with the look of distaste that we are a bunch of time wasters. Finally the bill came, the nicety's of the waitress at zero percent as she rushed for us to pay. And almost directly after my card pinged that cash across did another waiter come over and tell us they need our space for others with a straight face. Now it's crazy. It's not a reserved space. We had paid for food and drink, there wasn't a queue of people. And still empty lower seats to fill. And because of this bad business choice of kicking us out for a random next customer at 8.30pm when we arrived at 5.45pm.. They lost the word of mouth they need as we left with a bad taste. Sad times 😫 not even joking even my dog was...
