Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the steak pie and lunch staples like mushroom soup, with the tower burger and mozzarella sticks drawing further praise. Several diners highlight the cleanliness of the space, calling it spotless or immaculate, and consistently describe the staff as friendly and helpful across both regular meals and larger events. Others single out dishes such as salt and pepper prawns, stuffed mushrooms, and sticky toffee pudding from a restaurant visit, calling the food fresh and freshly prepared, and describe prices as reasonable. A separate account describes the bar itself as lively, with a busy dance floor and music ranging from chart hits to classic anthems, noting weekends can get busy enough that arriving early helps secure a seat. One reviewer who booked the function room after a family funeral recalls a hot buffet of pies, sandwiches, chicken and homemade soup, with extra portions packed into tubs to take home.

“We Recently hired the Towers function room for after a family funeral. Staff were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. hot buffet supplied was really good quality. Hot pies, the usual sandwiches, chicken and really good home made soup. They even gave us tubs to take some home. I know the place well. But even family members form further away, said “those girls are lovely” talking about the staff. The entire afternoon went really well considering the circumstances of being there. Can’t recommend them enough!!!”
