"We booked a table for Saturday tea time for 7 people, and the booking stated that one of the guests would be an 18 month old which would need a high chair. We went to the bar to tell them we were here for a booking and when we shown our table we were seated at one of the two high tables in the whole place. There was no high chair set at the table, so I asked for this and they brought the usual wooden pub highchair over, but if my daughter sat at this at the table her head would be under the table, how were we supposed to have a meal with her like this? We asked if we could be moved to a low table, which there was a large one to seat all 7 of us at where there was one man having a beer, and the next booking for that table was 2 hours later, so we would be gone before the next booking. The bar staff said that he couldn't ask the man to swap tables, unsure why, and the only solutions he had was for us to sit at a table for 4 (way too small and cramped for our party size) or for him to swap one of the high tables for a low table, so we opted for this. However, because the high tables were up against a bench seat it then meant that my husband had to be wedged in behind the table so that there was enough space for me to sit down and not be bumping in to the table behind me. It also meant that we couldn't really speak with the other members of our party as they were sat a good foot above us. Safe to say, I will not be recommending to any of my friends, especially ones with children, and we will look for an alternative next time we visit the area."

"My friend suggested we try here for a belated birthday meal for her. I must admit I'd never heard of it before but I'll definitely be recommending now. Booking was super easy. On arrival we were taken to the upstairs room which had about 4 tables in it. It's a small pub but nice and intimate if that's the sort of thing you're after. The table was nicely set and had a candle in a Whitley and Neil gin bottle. The waitress took our drinks order and came back with a fruity gin and two fruity ciders for us with the extra touch of little berries in the glass with the ice. She also asked if we'd like water for the table. She gave us enough time to study the menu and then took our food order. I ordered a started but to be eaten as a main with my mum and friend's main meals and this was no problem. While we were waiting she also brought us some hot, fresh bread which was AMAZING! We had the upstairs room to ourselves for a while so could chat easily. I ordered the scallops for starter which I've never had before but which were really tasty. My mum had the pork belly and my friend ordered the hake. They both said how delicious the food was. The portion sizes were spot on too and the food was steaming hot. We made sure to save room for dessert. I ordered the dark chocolate fondant, my mum ordered the lemon meringue arancini and my friend the sticky toffee pudding. Again all were absolutely stunning in both looks and taste. The waitress checked on us at regular intervals to make sure we were enjoying the food and ok for drinks etc. By this time we had been joined by a few other groups but the atmosphere was still nice and comfortable. The waitress brought us the bill and we managed to sneakily treat my friend as she was trying to pay too but we told her it was a special birthday treat. The staff were so friendly and chatty and even wished my friend a happy birthday and hoped we enjoyed the rest of our evening. The whole experience was one of the nicest I've had in a long time. The food is a little more expensive than you might pay in some places but the quality of the food matches the price. It's a lovely place to go for a special meal. Nothing was too much trouble. I'll definitely recommend the Old House and may well return to celebrate a special occasion in the future sometime. Hats off to the chefs and the waiting staff. They're absolute gems."

"First time visiting Frankie and Benny's with a friend. We were politely welcomed to a seat and asked if we would like anything to drink before the waitress left. We asked for some time to decide what we wanted to order. The waitress returned promptly after serving customers who were ready to order. This was reasonable time for us. We then ordered drinks and two courses each. A starter and a main. The drinks were brought over in good time for us to settle and have a chat. The starters arrived not long after. My friend ordered a garlic bread pizza which he described as greasy but tasty. I decided to have the mozzarella dippers which tasted bland, even with the sauce. A couple of them were overcooked. For our mains we ordered a vegan burger with sweet potato fries and a plain 6oz burger with fries. The vegan burger was very tasty, however the sweet potato fries were slightly overcooked but still rather nice. The plain 6oz burger arrived : not plain. It had to be sent back and corrected. However my friend was pleased with it once it came back. We were rather full afterwards and decided to pass on trying a dessert. We asked for the tab and it came back to us at an incorrect amount. We soon realised they charged for a jug of the cocktail I ordered instead of a glass and 2 servings of coke. We brought this up to the waitress and she fixed the issue with the cocktail but informed us that because we ordered the coke from the main menu, instead of the side menu (even though they are the same price) that the refills would not be free. 7/10 food. 6/10 service. Wouldn't be somewhere I'd go back in a hurry as there are far superior eateries for similar prices."

"I am writing this review on behalf of my mum and her friend who recently had an upsetting and unpleasant experience at Ruby Spice. They had booked a table in the name of Wednesday 19th August at 7pm. The table was booked over the telephone and on this call, they advised Ruby Spice that within the party of 4 there were 2 wheelchair users. They was assured by the gentleman on the phone that the restaurant was wheelchair friendly. However, upon arriving at the restaurant the party was unable to gain access to the restaurant. Steps inside the entrance and no room for manouvering made it impossible for the wheelchairs to enter safely. A member of staff did say he would help them to get in, but he was unable to do so; and after trying he just walked off and didn't offer any apology or explanation. After that, not one other member of staff came to speak to/assist the party. The whole situation was very embarrassing and upsetting for everyone, especially as other diners were trying to assist. Understandably, they left the restaurant, deciding to go to neighbouring Meze to eat, as it was so close by and it was pouring with rain. Although they had good food and service at Meze, the dining experience there was marred by the fact all four were rain soaked due to the debacle of trying to enter Ruby Spice premises, not to mention they were understandably still upset. In addition, one of the reasons that they chose Ruby Spice was to take advantage of the government's Eat Out to Help Out scheme and unfortunately the party ended up spending much more money than they anticipated at the Meze restaurant. We have emailed the restaurant with these details and awaiting a reply. We have suggested that they ensure all staff are aware of this incident, as to avoid embarrassment and distress to future customers."

"Now, normally we visit wings quite often, and we know the perils of buffet style restaurants. But today was a real eye opener. Now, they usually have two sittings Mon to sat, Sunday been all day, we arrived, for the second sitting, advertised 4-45 pm, to a busy reception area, people leaving, others queuing. We paid, and were sent straight downstairs to the restaurant . Which had a fair few people already in. We were seated close to the pudding section. Our drinks arrived, which we had paid for upstairs, along with the food. Then we went up for the food, certainly a large selection of foods, as always, much prefer wings, to the other buffet in St Stephens, which is tiny in comparison. On our visits, weve not always been keen on some of the foods, personal choice, had the odd issue, but overall it 's pretty good for a buffet. My first plate, I head to the back wall, fill the plate on, prawns, beef, ribs, chicken, skewers, etc. Then, returned for my favourite lamb curry, and doner meat from the other hot plates. Cannot fault the food up to now, I went back up to the middle section, duck, breaded chicken drumsticks, spare ribs in sauce, salted prawns, other breaded chicken, and prawn curry. Notice I 'm not into chips and noodles, rice etc, I 'm buffets worst nightmare, meat eater, they prefer you eat chips, noodles,the cheap items. The wife, my daughter enjoyed their choices, the wife 's favourite like mine is the lamb curry. My child loves having the freedom to choose her meal. Their is a vast amount of different foods you could have, Now my main issues, yes buffets are known for what they are, and it 's your choice whether you use them. I 've previously been in the toilets were people have walked out not washing their hands. People are walking in off the streets with no place to wash their hands, something personally I think should be interduced to this buffet place, and Inforced. Two, literally watching people picking up food, whilst staff literally watch, the tongs, I 've never seen staff clean, after all the manhandling that gets done. The place was rammed, I 'd never seen it this busy, on any visit We were next to the pudding section, and this place had a lot of children tonight, obviously we watched as the masses invaded this section. The amount of kids, picking up puds, putting them back, poking puddings, one child even though he used the tongs, picked up a jelly cube and took a bite, before he went to put it back, only for his mother I presume, stopping him. Another, waiting In the queue, picking his nose, then picking up the tongs, ohhh come on "
