  “King prawn starter was lovely, my partner had bruschetta which was a little dry. The Pollo alla crema was stunning. We sat in the pod without thinking about how hot it would get.”

  “Food has massively improved since my last visit, everything was spot on. Service has always been great. Kids loved it too. Would recommend adding the creamy veg soup as a starter option. Some of the other Sambuca franchises have and its a big hit.”

  “A reasonable price food restaurant but gets very busy so service can be very slow. This is not a criticism as a busy place means that it is popular with diners. The food is varied and of a good quality. We visit often and will continue to do so.”

  “My order was not even received by the restaurant and when I arrived they said they didn't have it but then did once they looked at the system, because they did not see it they said no dinners left but then the chef came out and said I can make them but no beef so just chicken. They also said they would put come potato skins in of which it was mainly like they grabbed what they had veg wise and just threw it in and packed us off with loads of potato skins so mainly had chicken gravy potato skins and a Yorkshire pudding and was not exactly the best, I could have made a dinner for much cheaper and tasted better then what I got. I am very disappointed to be honest won't be returning, this was a takeaway order. Regards Andrew”

  “I felt compelled to share a review, my wife and father in law are housebound so I use this restaurant for takeaway food. Tonight’s order was two pizzas plus potato skins. The service, as always, was fantastic, they’re so friendly but the food is exceptional. To quote my wife, “This may be the best food I’ve had, never mind the best calzone!” I’d say the same for their roast dinners as well, great value, great food and no frozen yorkshires here, only the best! Thank you all, you make such a difference”

  “It's one down hill, you don't even get plates now for ice cream, just a 5cm pot that's dripping all over the table. Coffee is also not filtered correctly, full of grounds 🤮”

  “When you turn up you get asked what drink before you’ve looked at selection it says Coke but is in fact Pepsi we ordered carbonara and lasagne they both had no taste the lasagne sauce tasted like tomato soup, the garlic bread was in fact half cooked as by pictures, the child’s plate had a huge chip in which is unhygienic, the ladies and men’s toilet was open and could see right in which is ridiculous, not to mention the wait time between the courses, asked if I wanted cheese on lasagne I replied with no but insisted on putting it on, waited 20 minutes for 3 ice creams the service is not the strong point of this place asked to pay as we were departing it took a further 16 minutes when they were just standing about to ask for it again to claim they were busy when 4 servers standing at the food counter. Disgraceful place disgraceful attitude disgraceful food This is by far the worst sambuca we have visited and will not be back. I have visited various restaurant’s with family including Miller and Carter other locations of Sambuca better service in Greggs than this place Would rate 0 stars but impossible it has to be 1”

  “My partner and I went to sambuca last night for the first time and it will be our last. The building had no heating except for a log burner and small electric heaters dotted around the place and a calor gas heater that ran out of gas the place was cold. The food was mediocre at best, my partner ordered the pasta marinara which was bland and the seafood was chewy so obviously frozen and reheated. I ordered the warmed up lasagne which was ok but a very small portion. Waited ages for food and drinks because there was only 3 waiting staff. The place was so tacky and in desperate need of refurbishment. Food prices were ok but that reflects the quality of the food. I would not recommend this place at all”

  “Me and my partner called in for a bit to eat, we were taking to our table straight away both ordered a drink, We ordered our food straight away unfortunately we didn't receive our food for a good time later 45 mins or so while other customers who had actually arrived after we had received their food when we did receive ours it was tasteless not worth the money!!! We were asked if we enjoyed it I decline to answer I said I would leave feedback on their website through Google maps, at the point of paying we were asked by another member of staff if we enjoyed the food again I didn't answer I repeated myself informed the woman taking the payment that I was given my feedback on social media she wasn't happy about that she wanted me to make the complaint in the restaurant I told her I was given my feedback my way that as paying customers we had rights and this was how it was happening. I'll be clear right now my partner and myself will not ever be dining here again. Incredibly disappointed. Also when you look at the photo's the dishes they use could do with being replaced where the chips are placed before being brought to the table.”

  “Food was delicious. Service was polite and swift. Only marked it down a star on atmosphere because there was a busy table next to us that were pretty loud so hard to hear each other but it's not a big deal as they were just out having a good time as well. Staff are friendly, and pricing is reasonable.”
