  “We had an ok experience having bottomless brunch with my family, but will not be returning, drinks were basic, plastic cups, no straws, no ice, cocktails were premixed and weak and again without ice and a straw, the service was not 100% but I’ll return to that. The music was too loud for a Saturday afternoon could not talk amongst us, Not much option on the food very limited but The food was well cooked, we purchased 2 extra portions of nachos and was over charged for them then when I questioned it the waitress made me feel like it was coming out of her pocket and if caused an inconvenience to her, she was not our server, we had Evie who despite being extremely busy and overworked she managed to serve us with a smile and keep our drinks topped up. She was and probably is everyday a credit to the team. Well done Evie and thank you for being our server.”

  “Came on a quiet Tuesday after finishing work. Good drinks selection. We ordered 1kg of chicken wings with Korean BBQ sauce with garnish with skin on fries which was great. Crispy chicken with the right amount of sauce and tasted like fresh chicken wings so big thanks to the Chef.”

  “Booked bottomless brunch, was 10 minutes late being lead to our table, had to clean our own table. Very short staffed and had to get the waitress attention for drinks, no prosecco available. Had to get our own cutlery. Barmaid behind the bar was beyond RUDE!”

  “Courtney served with an amazing smile, she is the SOLE reason me and my friend comes back here! She's always made us welcome, she's genuinely such a delight! She's always chatty, friendly, kind and most important of all she's so professional! She always makes time for me and my friend especially for the jaegarbombs! She's an amazing member of staff who does not get nearly enough credit for how amazing she is! I don't go to many bars, but her presence makes it easy to come into Walkabout! She's genuinely amazing!”

  “Walkabout calls itself “The Home of Live Sport”, but our experience couldn’t have been further from that promise. We visited on Saturday 4th July 2026, one of the busiest sporting afternoons of the week, expecting to enjoy an afternoon watching live sport. Instead, we experienced what was, without doubt, the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered in a bar. From the moment we arrived, the place was in complete chaos. There was just one member of bar staff trying to serve around five customers on her own. She completely lost her composure, shouting “Where are my staff?!” across the bar before smashing a glass onto the floor in frustration. It was uncomfortable to witness and set the tone for the entire visit. We had booked a table in advance, yet when I asked where it was, I was told it wasn’t ready despite there being at least 20 empty tables throughout the venue. I then asked another member of staff who immediately took us to one of those empty tables, making the first explanation impossible to understand. There wasn’t so much as a smile or apology. We specifically chose Walkabout because it markets itself as “The Home of Live Sport”. Unfortunately, the DJ decided to blast music over the match, making it impossible to hear the commentary. When I politely asked if he could lower the volume so customers could actually watch the sport, he refused. While eating a sandwich, he simply replied, “No,” and was rude, dismissive and completely uninterested. His attitude suggested he was more concerned with playing music for himself than providing the experience customers had come for. To make matters worse, on one of the busiest sports afternoons of the week, we tried to order the Matchday Platter, one of the venue’s flagship menu items that is heavily promoted throughout the bar, only to be told they had none available. On a Saturday afternoon in a sports bar, that is simply unacceptable and summed up just how poorly organised the whole operation was. The situation then became completely unacceptable. I took a photograph of the DJ solely as evidence for a complaint to the company. He then falsely claimed I had intimidated him. Within moments, an aggressive door supervisor approached and told me to leave without asking for my side of the story or attempting to establish what had actually happened. It was just me and my son. We hadn’t been abusive, threatening or caused any disturbance. We had simply come to watch the sport we’d booked to watch. Instead, we left feeling shocked, upset and completely let down. Walkabout promises a welcoming atmosphere, great food and that customers “won’t miss a second of the sporting action.” Our experience was the exact opposite. Poor management, chaotic service, advertised food unavailable, sport drowned out by unnecessary music, rude and dismissive staff, and customers being removed following what I believe was a completely false allegation. This was, without question, the worst experience I have ever had in a bar. I will never return and would strongly recommend anyone looking for a genuine sports bar to go elsewhere.”

  “We came for bottomless brunch for my friends birthday. They were amazing with the drinks, it felt like the second I finished one, another was in my hand. Our server, Thora, was amazing. She was so nice and constantly made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Towards the end of our stay (we came at around 2 on a Saturday) the music got a little too loud, so it was hard to converse but it was a nice vibe. The price for bottomless brunch is well worth it for the drinks and service.”

  “Long time since we had been in a walkabout, and we really enjoyed this one. Only called in for a quick drink but ended up stopping for a few. Very friendly staff and good drinks. The prices were also very reasonable. The inside decor was fun with a large picture of a parrot on one of the walls.”

  “Came here for lunch and despite it being a busy Saturday our food arrived quickly. The food was really good, especially the burger. Friendly staff as well.”
