Customer Review Summary
Bottomless brunch is what reviewers return to most, with several calling the service unbelievable and the value strong, and one saying they were never without a drink. Close behind are the many TV screens showing sport, the lively atmosphere and the food, with sweet potato fries singled out as delicious. Reviewers also mention darts, a free gig, and downstairs private rooms for karaoke. Toilets are described as large and very clean, and the doormen as friendly. The music and rugby coverage are described as very loud, and one reviewer says it is not the place for quiet. Spice is another note, as the kebabs and sweet chilli chicken fries were very spicy for one diner. The sharpest complaint comes from a reviewer who booked for the World Cup. They describe a deposit per person that could not be used as a bar tab, small portions, and a world cup platter they strongly advise against, with music playing until kick off and through half time. A quiet weeknight visit left one diner as the only person eating. One reviewer says drinks cost a little more than at nearby pubs, while another found the food reasonably priced.

“Spent over £80 on food between 4 of us and barely touched the sides. If anyone is thinking of ordering the "world cup platter" I would strongly recommend against it. Booked a table for the world cup which requires a deposit of £20 per person although this deposit can't be used as a bar tab and needs to be spent on very small portions of food or bottles of beer despite the bar queue not being that big anyway. Bit of a rip off overall. Playing music until the very last second before kick off and throughout half time also not the best viewing experience.”

“Had such an amazing experience at The Box! The food, ambiance, and overall vibe were absolutely top notch. A special thank you to Christie, who made me feel so special on my birthday and truly went above and beyond to make sure I was happy, satisfied, and having the best time. Her customer service was exceptional and so thoughtful🥹❤️ Would absolutely love to see her again on my next visit! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great experience!”
