Traveler reviews
John Baldwin
★★★★★a year agoFirst visit and will certainly be coming back many more times. Firstly the decor is fabulous and really well put together to give a New York loft/ industrial vibe. Fabulous bustling atmosphere and loads of seating options. Everything is ordered via QR code and there is a wonderful range of options to consider - so much that we ordered a lot of different Tapas type foods. Great drink options too and all of which is served quickly by really friendly and helpful staff. Food quality is excellent and really well put together . In summary, we loved it and we’ll be returning very soon!

★★★★★5 months agoWe have not visited for some time, so we were looking forward to our lunch here. The food market is large, with long communal tables. Lights hanging down, give an intimate feel. Seating is available upstairs too. In the corner of the market is a cosy bar area. There are eight food outlets, ranging from fish, meats, pasta and pizza to Asian dishes. You order and pay using the QR code at the table. A server brings the food when it’s ready. We chose pulled pork tacos from Big Lola’s. They were fresh and flavoursome. The other main was from Club Fish. A large seafood Carbonara dish, with plenty of fish. One of the best seafood pasta dishes I’ve eaten. I did wait a while for my meal, ( my husband had eaten his, by the time mine arrived), but that’s when you order from different outlets. A fine atmosphere with people enjoying a mid-week lunch. We were happy to return. Worth a visit!
