• "The food and drinks are pretty good last I tried and are well priced for the area this place is located in."
• "The food was good value for money and enjoyed by all."
• "The steak was decent, though, nothing to write home about. It was a tad dry in the middle, but overall wasn't bad."
• "Food was amazing too. We were seated in the igloo and took loads of Instagram pictures, really worth a visit."
• "Food was ok service was good. The peppercorn sauce was watery with no flavour."

Cons:

• "The poached egg was too well done, not melting as per the photo, and the bun taste was not nice, seemed like a very basic corner shop bread."
• "The food is not. I order a simple fish and chips, the batter was greasy and the chips were terrible!!!"
• "My partner had a veggie burger which was the worst burger we have ever had. There was something chewy in the patty to make it even worse and it was left on the plate."
• "The 2nd dish tho, nope. Did not work at all. It lacked any flavours whatsoever, and was served cold."
• "Mac and cheese was disgusting, the curry was the worst thing in the world."
• "The only critique I have is that the food lacked enough flavor."

Cons:

• "Then, when we were about to split the bill, the waiter charged us both FULL amount (45 pounds each, instead of splitting) which seemed quite cheeky."
• "After being quickly being seated everything went down hill. We were brought menus eventually but the surely member of staff was visibly disturbed that we wanted to order from him."
• "We waited and tried to get served for a further 15 minutes then gave up and left."
• "Not a good experience at all, it was hard to tell if the staff had no idea what they were doing or if it was just generally managed badly."
• "Nice location, nice igloo decor, but shame about no music which means we had to entertain ourselves with our own music. Service was abysmal, 45 mins at least in between each course."
• "A bit more attention on the quality of the food would transform the place."

• "We were seated and waited a considerable amount of time to be acknowledged."

• "The Sipping Room hosted us for our company Christmas team lunch and was absolutely amazing in providing great customer service."
• "Really nice atmosphere with Christmas decorations."

Cons:

• "We started off quite good with beetroot falafel we shared. I had a veggie meal that was not bad but also not good enough to charge nearly 18quid for."
• "What a joke. Only one beer on tap, limited cocktail ingredients, and a limited selection of food on the menu."
• "Although there were plenty available tables, our waiter decided that we needed some company and gave us a table in between of two occupied tables that are extremely close to each other."
• "We had a space to ourselves. The food and service was very nice. It's a shame it was pouring with rain so we couldn't take pictures outside."
• "Service is very slow. Waiting staff are unattentive."
• "Stopped by on a Sunday night with a friend. The place is cozy with a lovely atmosphere. We ordered delicious arancini and salt and pepper squid and then 2 cheeseburgers, which we found a bit overcooked."
• "I'll never go back here to eat again, food was terrible. Fish tacos tasted like old fish, I was nearly sick when I tried after my gf said they tasted too fishy."
• "Staff were incredibly rude. Had to order food at the bar, staff had no idea what was on the menu or how to use the tills, and kept saying things weren't on the menu when they were."
