The Little Orange Door Reviews Summary

Music and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The DJ was fantastic and played a good balance of old and new music."
• "The atmosphere but what makes it stand out from everywhere else is the fantastic staff."
• "The outdoors terrace is amazing for sunny days."
• "Whether it's a boogie on the dancefloor or delicious cocktails you want, you will not be disappointed."

Cons:

• "I must say that I was dismayed at paying over £30 for a bottle of unchilled white wine."
• "The acoustics were quite poor and because we were next to a much bigger/louder table it was hard to hear one another."
• "Only reason I knocked off one star is that it feels a little too clubby post 9pm, which was unexpected given the chilled out vibe earlier in the day."

Staff and Service

Pros:

• "Stephanie is AMAZING and definitely lights the place up :)"
• "The staff were kind, attentive and professional down to a man/woman and the evening went off without a hitch."
• "Staff were really attentive and on hand, but not over-bearing."
• "The staff make you feel like part of the family."

Cons:

• "We were recommended the little orange door by friends - and not only did we receive fantastic cocktails and food, but exceptional service from Stephanie!"
• "However, we were a bit disappointed as the bartender apparently had not been trained to serve all the cocktails that were on their menu."
• "I find that their customer services here were quite rude and definitely not attentive to you at all, as you make eye contact or wave for them to come over they simply ignore and attend to others instead."
• "Was shocked at an unbelievably rude male staff who aggressively and literally yelled at us while we were simply trying to leave."

Food and Drinks

Pros:

• "The pizza is great with original combinations."
• "The food was amazing from gorgeous canapes, including vegan and fish options, to their delicious pizza and generous well made cocktails."
• "We adored the chicken and waffles, was so delicious!"
• "The food was really good and well presented."

Cons:

• "The cocktails were nice, nothing spectacular but enjoyable."
• "The table they had allocated for our group of 6 was a small, low coffee table with stools around it."
• "We came here for a friends 30th birthday party having travelled all the way from Redhill. We were told at around 7pm that we weren’t allowed to bring our baby indoors."
• "The food arrived in a very random order and all the people in our group got theirs at a different time, some of them having a 15-minute gap between them, so the first people's food went completely cold by the time the rest arrived."

Security and Policies

Pros:

• "The staff make it worth it :)"
• "The staff were really attentive and on hand, but not over-bearing."
• "Marcus allowed me to enjoy my birthday to its fullest, him and his team were the best."

Cons:

• "There seems to be a pattern of a problematic security culture going by other reviews."
• "But when it got to my turn to order a cocktail, I was refused by the Bar Manager who suddenly appeared."
• "The worst one was reading about the girl who got thrown out when an unknown male turned aggressive towards her, leaving 'them' to take it outside; considering some of the things that can happen to lone females walking home at night this was particularly distressing and scary to read."
• "The female security randomly approached a harmless female member of our group, who was doing absolutely nothing, asked her to accompany her outside so she could talk to her, and basically falsely accused and HUMILIATED her of being disorderly."
