Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often point to the wide range of drinks at low prices, with one praising the multi-item deals on cocktails and meals and another noting a higher-end beer. Close behind is the food, notably the curry club with poppadoms and naan, plus fish and chips, pizza, nachos and cheese fries described as tasty. A few also like the great atmosphere on club nights and the outdoor seating. Complaints recur, though, and staff attitude leads them. Reviewers describe a rude bartender upstairs and a server who bristled at a request to clear glasses. App orders drew grumbles too, with one party waiting until they chased drinks at the counter and a mango drink arriving without ice. Food is mixed: a raw pizza, two very average pizzas, missing sour cream and sweet chilli, and toilets described as in a state. One reviewer says staff discriminate against people. Another had a poor burger, was told to see a manager, and left after waiting at the bar.

    “terrible. the staff, the food, the drinks. they discriminate so many people. none of them know how to run the place properly. whoever makes the food needs trained more, the drinks don’t even come to the table. the staff are so rude and make up lies. do not go here if you want a fun time. awful, boring, shocking atmosphere. removed table number off the app and asked to show receipt when it was a friend who ordered it not in the restaurant.”

    “I ordered pizza and it came raw still not even cooked had a bite of it and it was just dough to be honest. Also me and my friend ordered a bunch of drinks and yet they’re withholding them. They say it’s not in the system but we literally saw them pop-up yet they weren’t letting us have them, We spent a bunch of money on that and it an’t worth it at all I wouldn’t come again . We were at table 25”

    “The experience was really bad this time the lady staffs who where there today night 23rd July. better need some training how to behave the one who comes there. Then we ordered mango mash monster when we got the drink there was no ice cubes in the drink we asked for ice cubes after only she said there is no ice cubes if they know there is no ice cubes they can inform us when we ordered.better the lady was in the counter with glasses she can have some training to behave to the one who is coming there ever worst service experience from that lady staff and also when we we ordered some additional drinks just asked her to clear the glasses she was showing her attitude and have enough time to make chat with off shift rather than attending the customer there. The additional drinks the we ordered was delivered by the off shift staff even though she was much kind than the lady who was in the shift . We just came as a stress relief after all the working days with friends we were really disappointed by the behaviour of the lady staffs in first floor really worst experience ever had from here . She was behaving like she is the boss here. They can behave to the people in a polite way better than like ordering to them ever worst service by them. Every work place is not space not to show their personal attitude show off”

    “Always love the curry club. Good value and tastes really nice. 2 poppadoms and naan. Add mango chutney and i would be there every week. They also offer a higher end beer which is nice.”

    “Great atmosphere, especially on club nights. Usually brilliant food like you’d expect from a spoons. Toilets are usually in a state but what do expect? Main issue on my recent visit was the lack of sour cream and sweet chilli that’s very clearly listed with the food, no attempt to rectify this either before by informing me or after by giving me the option for something else.”
