My two year old and I came for dinner the other evening. It was a real treat for us and it didn’t disappoint. The food came out quickly and tasted lovely! But the highlight of our visit was the staff. They were all very welcoming and happy to sit us down. You could really sense that they enjoyed working with each other and had a good working relationship with the manager, which sometimes lacks in places.

Sadly having superb staff doesn't compensate for an average food experience. We won't be back to...
Read moreI took my daughter to pizza Express for dinner & the food & staff were fantastic. My daughter had her bike with her & they held the doors open & found a place to store her bike whilst we ate. The meal was prompt in its arrival, not that it would have mattered, as they had excellent activity sheets for children, with things to colour, stickers & even a chefs hat to decorate! We ordered off of the children's menu, which offers three courses, unfortunately we had to leave to catch a train, but the staff very kindly boxed up my daughters pudding & we were able to take it with us. Highly recommend this place, the menus are great & the food...
