Read moreNever been and having heard people recommend here I wasn't impressed. Honestly hate doing bad reviews but the food was not very good, I'm also not someone to send food back as not saying they would but you never know what happens.
We went for a family birthday meal and everyone choose there meals. My partner is gluten intolerant so meals can be difficult to get decent food. We shared a pork belly and safe to say we had 4 pieces to shard between 2 for nearly £10. I expected more pieces for something that was labled sharer and the bits were fatty and gristle rather than any meat at all.
We then had our main and the gluten free burger looked in my opinion bland, dry and burnt. Which my partner told me it was bland and burnt. (Understand non gluten food can be difficult to make). Also ordered sweet potato fries instead of fries which they got wrong, however they were quick to rectify but with burnt sweet potato fries. My chicken burger wasn't burnt but it felt like there was too many fillings, sauces and veg inside and too over baring with so many flavours. Chips were very good but the slaw that comes with it tasteless and bland. Our Son had maccaroni and cheese which he enjoyed apart from the garlic bread was a little too done and very herby for a child.
We did ask for a refund on the gluten free meal which was given and can't complain at that, the staff were apologetic and appreciated that.
The reason not sending food back is as said above about returning it and not knowing. Also we don't like being those people when everyone else is eating returning food and causing a scene. So choose not too.
With this being said the customer service was good. Got a refund for burnt food. Staff were apologetic and helpful.
Believe manager came over at the end and apologised which was nice but feel I'll avoid as paying that price for food which we didnt like isn't great especially with cost of...
Read moreA must go Behind the honey-coloured stone walls of this old delivery office there is a surprisingly large, open-plan, industrial space that is split into separate bar & dining areas, and there is an all- important ready supply of board games. In keeping with the building’s former use, the rather dominating bar is painted in pillar box red & there is a huge original roof window, which floods the main trading area with masses of light. There are differently furnished areas of the Cosy Club; a eclectic mix of reclaimed tables, old leather dining chairs and reclaimed railway waiting room benches, as well as leather club chairs and plush sink-into sofas. The walls are adorned with mirrors, flags, banners and oil paintings. Oil paintings & taxidermy complete the unique interior of the Cosy Club. As far as the all- important food menu is concerned, the Cosy Club offers a delicious menu, and different themed evenings: After 5 pm on Tapas Tuesdays £12.50 buys a glass of wine and the choice of 3 delicious tapas dishes, like
Pulled chicken and chorizo with crispy potatoes, Goats cheese and spinach croquettes and Salt and pepper squid.
