  1. Excellent Experience

    I booked this as a surprise for my friends birthday. Couldn’t fault it. The staff were friendly & helpful. The food was really good. Our waitress was excellent. Lauren did everything possible to make our dining experience extra special.
    Definitely recommend.

  2. Excellent Service and Food at Pods

    We had great service in the pods
    with regular check-ins. Food was great with adjustments made as requested.
    Pods were nice and warm and staff were friendly. Good value for money.

  3. Delightful Pod Experience

    Really enjoyed the Pod experience,
    staff were polite and friendly, great food and atmosphere.. will definitely
    be back again

  4. A Perfect Birthday Meal in a Dome

    My daughter loved her birthday meal
    in a dome. It was a perfect experience for her, very beautiful and private.
    Thanks guys x

  5. BAKLAVA to die for!!

    A lovely find. Lovely decor and everything was clean. No grubby sticky tables and cutlery was sparking clean. The food was okay. Lamb kleftiko was very dry and lacked the Greek overall taste. The pork skewers – while ample – were also dry. Soup was tasty as were the mushrooms.
    The best part was the BAKLAVA – omg, it was absolutely delicious. Fantastic dessert that we’d drive the half hour just for that.
    Waiting staff were friendly however little attention given considering the night was slow. Pricing was also very reasonable.
    We’ll give it another try and hopefully food will prove to be more Greek.

  6. Phenomenal Service & Food at Restaurant

    Staff are so friendly, was assisted quickly everytime and
    checked upon throughout! The food was amazing including the children’s
    food! Thank you for a lovely time.

    We had the dome which was lovely. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
    Food was delicious and good value for money.

    It was raining very heavily when we were there and we were very impressed with the staff who went to so much trouble to make sure we were happy.
    The food was fab too. Thanks x

  30. The food here is so good I’m almost reluctant to leave such a great review so there is more food for me! In all seriousness, this is the most beautiful food and the people are lovely, making your experience all the better. The domes are a lovely addition for a more private and special occasion. Will be returning soon and highly recommend!

  31. Lovely staff. Couldn’t do enough for us. We were perhaps too much for one member of staff. Food was nice

  32. Food is good good value and quality, staff very friendly. We will be returning. The cost to hire the dome is high and only for a real treat, although it was a good experience. We will be back to eat but in the restaurant area rather than the dome.

  33. We hired a dome for birthday celebrations for my brother and sister in law. The service and food was faultless and we had a great evening – would really recommend hiring a dome for a special occasion!

  34. First time in a dome for dinner and it was so magical. Didn’t
    expect a blutooth speaker in there either. Food and servive was excellent.
    Many thanks for a great evening meal for our Anniversary.

  35. My missus 35th birthday meal in a dome

    Me and the missus drove 40 miles to get here so my missus could have a meal in the dome for her 35th birthday, she’s been dying to try the domes for ages. Price are really good , portion size are amazing , atmosphere is brilliant, lovely setting and surroundings . Our waitress Elise was brilliant couldn’t have been more helpful and was really attentive, she did a brilliant job in the pouring down rain all evening. Elise told us when we got into the dome the only reason you move is to go toilet and that is exactly what happened. The domes are worth the money just for the experience, the heater was perfect inside , very comfortable seating, Bluetooth speaker is a great idea so we could listen to our own music while eating , the food is next level honestly I can say this is the best food I’ve eaten in forever . Highly recommended to everyone, we will defo be returning even tho its an hour drive for us but totally worth it . Thanks again to everyone for and perfect evening to my missus birthday especially Elise she was brilliant all night . Thanks Dave & Steph

  52. Mostly fine

    3 people were disappointed not to be able to order the oven lamb at 12.30 on a Sunday. Food that we had was mainly fine, not as good as last time. We rang bell for service but had to rush dessert as we were left too long between courses.
