    We visited The Warren on Saturday evening and, unfortunately, were very disappointed with the overall experience. The quality and choice of food were underwhelming, and the selection of soft drinks was very limited. To make matters worse, our food orders were mixed up, adding to the frustration. Even more disappointing was the red wine, which turned out not to be the wine listed on the menu. We only realised this after we had already drunk half the bottle. Overall, a very disappointing experience from start to finish. We expected much better and certainly won’t be rushing back.

    It’s normal for diners to ask questions about how the fish dish of the day comes. The waitress responds ‘cooked’. We found the service by her to be the rudest we have experienced anywhere and had to ask not to be served by her. Not what you expect for a restaurant in this price range, and it ruined my birthday celebration. The rest of the staff were nice, the food was ok but eating out is a full experience and this member of staff was not only rude to us (we are Indian) but the table next to us said she was rude to them (one member was black). Pattern recognition? Won’t be returning.

    Messaged to ask for champagne on arrival as offered at booking. No response to message. Coats not taken by staff so had to put at table. Only water offered for table and no drinks offered for about 15 mins. Very cold in restaurant. Food average and limited choice. Over rated and not the restaurant it used to be. Priced similar to other restaurants locally but not as rewarding. And paper serviettes. Like a kids party.

    Sunday roasts were very good. Friends had the chicken schnitzel roast and really enjoyed it. My beef was a little too well done for my taste as prefer med rare and this was definitely more medium. Roast potatoes possibly best we’ve had when eating out. Only one lady serving as restaurant was very quiet, but she was friendly and right amount of attentiveness. It’s a lovely restaurant but you do have to go upstairs to get to it so may put people off venturing inside. Also the “Ibiza vibe” tunes blaring down the stairs perhaps is off putting to some. Did wonder what I had booked when we arrived but the music calmed down as the afternoon progressed. A few more diners would have helped the ambiance but we enjoyed a lazy lunch and we weren’t hurried along.

    The food and service were good, unfortunately our order got a little mixed up. However our waitress was quick to rectify what she could abs the bill was adjusted fairly. We will be going back!
