Customer Review Summary
Bottomless brunch is what most reviewers come for, with servers who keep drinks topped up without being asked and a duck pizza, described by one as hoisin duck, singled out by two groups. One party of 18 found service quick, and a netball team was surprised when whole pizzas arrived instead of the slices they expected. The DJ and the mix of music get praise, and one reviewer notes security staff dancing with guests. The one complaint comes from a brunch guest who waited over an hour for pizza and, with only 90 minutes on the table, could not order more of the unlimited food. Close behind is the upstairs room, used for a daughter's 18th, two 50th birthdays and a university launch night. Hosts describe pool tables, darts, a glitterball, tables moved to suit the numbers, guests aged from 8 to 76, and a bespoke menu that drew compliments. A weekday visitor took up the free pizza with a drink offer, and one host's birthday message appeared on screens around the room.

“We booked a bottomless brunch and were looked after by Cat. We didnt need to ask for more drinks as she was always close by to offer more. The food was lovely especially the hoisin duck pizza. I would 100% recommend. One of is going to book for Christmas if we dont go before. Thank you Cat and thanks to the team for a brilliant afternoon.”

“Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all at Bonobo’s for recently hosting my daughter’s 18th birthday. The top floor was the perfect venue, and all who worked there were so friendly, professional and helped to make it such a great night. I don’t think I’ve got photos without people on but it was such a good sized room and included pool tables, darts, tables; all of which could be moved about to make the space best fit the numbers (we had 50 ish but it would have worked well with less - or a lot more!). We plugged a Spotify playlist into the audio system so that songs could be added on the night, which worked well and the glitterball added a funky touch to the lighting. Food was great and we were offered options on how to manage food/ drink options within the overall price. There were lovely personal touches too (for example a birthday message on screens around the room and a welcome sign by the entrance). The team were really helpful and flexible with any requests - bringing decorations / hanging photos etc. All in all a brilliant night and I’d thoroughly recommend it for a private party. Special thanks to Rio & Erin for ensuring all went smoothly. Thanks, we’ll be back 😊!”

“My netball team and I went for Bottomless Brunch yesterday. We had the best time - the staff were amazing and made sure we had drinks at all times, no stinginess there! The pizza was great, we thought we were ordering slices but whole pizzas arrived! The atmosphere was brilliant with a good mix of music, even the security staff were cool and dancing with everyone at times. Would definitely recommend and will be back! Oh and we wrote our orders down instead of trying to shout as there were so many of us - it saved time too!”

“So me and my old uni mate went for bottomless brunch recently, and have to say, this place is awesome. The DJ was great, she knew what people wanted, the service was just fantastic, always keeping an eye on our drinks. The pizza was lovely, but I would add, unlimited food was offered, but it took over and hour to get our pizza. We didn’t get chance to order any more food as you only get 90 minutes on the table. Other than that, this place is brilliant. I would like to try again purely for the vibe.”
