Food and Drinks

Pros:

• "We also had the 3-course meal with our Premium tickets and this was well paced with food arriving in each break."
• "Amazing experience, really tasty vegan option and cocktails had so much fun."
• "Great food and amazing vibe throughout."
• "The food was deliciously filling and very worthy of its price."
• "The food was good, I’ve attached a picture of the main as lots of comments that it was tiny - it was plenty big enough in my opinion."
• "The food was actually really nice but there was no choice, it was just meat or vegetarian option."
• "The food was delicious too. Portion sizes were very reasonable and kept you full but not uncomfortably full."

Cons:

• "Food was basic and low quality."
• "Prices of drinks were extremely high - bear in mind there is a cost of living crisis!!"
• "The desserts were interesting and we ended up leaving the second one."
• "The food was poor and, despite asking us for our food choices and details of any food allergies a week before arrival, only one desert choice was available on the day and they failed to cater for our food allergies."
• "Basic bread rolls named homemade bread, bruschetta without any seasonings decorated with dead salad leaves, risotto tasted like it was made from packet."
• "The food itself tasted like stale leftovers from a tesco meal deal."
• "Other dishes were tasty but nothing to shout home about."

Value and Pricing

Pros:

• "Amazing show, and well worth the money for the show."

• "Although we had great seats, right by the stage."
• "Service was quick."
• "We felt lucky to get great seats."
• "service was actually the best part of the experience."
• "At least they have a vegan option!"

Cons:

• "Check your bills, this place charge for premium double G&T when we had only asked for a G&T not double or premium."
• "This establishment will extort you for money in the most unprofessional, unashamed way."
• "They'd added a cover charge for every member of our party (including those who didn't show up but we of course still paid for their tickets), AS WELL AS a 12.5% service charge which for some reason included the sum paid (in advance) for the tickets."
• "The venue is a grotty basement bar with peeling floor and cheap fixtures and furnishings; the stage is merely a raised strip with a dirty cracked mirror at the end."
• "Food wasn’t nice and drinks tasted like they mixed with water."
• "The extortionate price of drinks and upsells left a bitter taste in the mouth."
• "Drinks prices are ridiculously high!!!"
