Canalside Bar & Grill

Booked the place for my Birthday and wetting the baby's head. Booked in advance for table of 15 did say it could possibly be 20, to which they wanted a £50 deposit on the phone. So I said I'd give £40. Guy said is it all lads where I said yes and wanted to make sure we don't get loud and that it is not jack's bar which I found quite judgmental.

Anyway turn up to the venue and when they knew we were a big group we had two tables not together but split up by the door, when most of the place was practically empty. Food that came out was ok abit over priced but not all that, when I had practically half a curry tipped all over my jeans, yes the waiter was apologetic and said she would get the group a free round of drinks, so I said instead of a round of drinks just do a bottle of vodka. So as I went to the bathroom to clean myself up the guy at the bar goes I'll pay for your dry cleaning or get you a drink of your choice. Which contradicts what the waiter said, I wasn't in the mood to argue so I just had the drink although my Boss jeans are bloody ruined.

We had a few vegiterians in the group and 1 vegan. Not much selection for vegans, and for the vegiterians he specifically went to the bar to order to his and said he has a nut allergies where the bar star goes no nuts in the foods. So my brother had a veg curry to find something was not right as he was getting an itchy throat and feeling short of breath to find some nuts in his mouth. Looked at the allergy chart supplied and then we question the bar staff who then said ohh there might be traces of nuts not that bothered to be fair while my brother's saying I think I need to get to a chemist and get an injection pen as he didn't have one on him. No consideration at the end asking if all was ok etc.

As we had a tab, we should have checked it to be fair but we didn't £500, where I had to mention I already paid £40.00 so that needed reducing of the bill. This should have been picked up strap ght away if you take deposits of people remember to deduct it of the final bill when asking for payment.

Nice surroundings, foods ok, over priced, and now kinda been there done that and think we would have had a better time in Jacks Bar.
