Had a great time watching the Muppets show, the actors were absolutely brilliant, rated 4 because although the show was great,the seats were not very comfortable at all, very narrow and very hard, and not very spacious, felt quite crammed. I can understand it's an independent theatre but there surely has to be a way to make those seats more comfortable. I mean I absolutely loved the show,the atmosphere was great, the staff weren't bad. I just simply wouldn't return literally due to the seating in the theater, otherwise can't fault on anything else. Had a brilliant time

Vibes and atmosphere were great. Hip and cool spot in a beautiful building. This review is mostly just for the gluten free pizza. The crust was pretty tasty: lots of tapioca starch gives it a chew on which I enjoy, cooked well enough to be crunchy. My main complaint is that there was no cheese, and it looked like someone made it with a blindfold. I don’t consider myself picky, but I challenge you to look at the photo I took of my pizza and tell me that you think the creator ever laid eyes on it. There just ain’t a chance. No cheese, a negligible number of minuscule slices of onion, and ditto for the bacon. I’m sure their other pizzas are better, and mine was made in a rush, but cmon. Neapolitan is one thing, but this ain’t that. Just throw the dang cheese on please. I paid £16.50 for a tomato flatbread that took 45 minutes to arrive. Once again, sure, an outlier, but let this bear witness to the existence of the sham of a pie I received. Someone made this, someone baked this, someone served this, and never once did any of them question: does this pizza look appetizing?

I am coeliac so have to be careful where I eat. I also have other dietary restrictions. I called up beforehand to check everything would be ok and was handed to the actual chef, which was awesome. I was so excited that they had a pizza I could eat (butternut squash puree in place of marinara sauce is inspired in my opinion). It was really yummy and enough to fill 2 of us up. I would have quite liked to be able to order a side salad or coleslaw and sweet potato fries with it but that's just me. My only complaint (not really a complaint) is that the chairs at the table we were initially seated at were too high for me and, being wooden without a cushion, would have given me numb legs if I had stayed there. We just skipped across to another table as it wasn't too busy and the staff were totally cool with that so it was all fine but some cushions might be nice anyway. All in all it was a great experience and I defo plan to return so please keep the butternut squash option on the menu! I don't know why I look like I am about to kill someone in the picture - I was actually very happy

This have been our go-to Sunday roast place. It has friendly people and delicious roasts. We normally get the pig Sunday roast which has crispy crackling with all the delicious sides. Unfortunately, yesterday, the crackling was chewy and gummy with the potatoes being burnt. We asked whether there were new chefs or new suppliers. Apparently, there are 2 new chefs. So we paid and went on our way. I'll take a break from Sunday roasts from here for a while until they get back to their consistently delicious Sunday pork roast.

I was with my partner and we couldn't eat together because I get GF burned pizza, they offer new pizza but... The waitress was nice the place has an atmosphere but... On the next visit we book a table for two on Valentines Day and the food we get was very tasty, aromatic and looks beautiful. We enjoy this time, so I changing from 2 stars- 4.

Lamb Sunday Roast, portion was a bit small so also ordered a side of cauli cheese which came out bubbling and very cheesy 10/10! All the food was great and really tasty. The lamb was quality and roast potatoes crispy. I was a little disappointed with the veg, again super yummy - but just half a carrot and small portion of greens which I'd have loved loads more of (plus another potato or two)... to make it 5* I'd definitely go back, great service from the waitresses too 👍

This is a good place for atmosphere. The room is impressive with traditional features. Some parts of the interior look like they need some TLC mind. We booked in on a Sunday and sat on the balcony indoors although we were offered a spot on the roof garden - it was far too warm for that though. Despite the weather, we ordered roast dinners. I had the vegetarian strudel which was very nice and not too cheesy which I find is often a worry with vegetarian options. Everything was lovely apart from from my potatoes which were a little firm/less crispy but others said their potatoes were fine so maybe I got the bad ones! For a roast dinner, I think this is fantastic value for money.

Amazing and super tasty Sunday Roast with a veggie option (no vegan). Nothing else on the menu, only one dessert option (sorry, don't remember what it was). Nice variety of drinks. Roast with wine: £17/each

Very awesome place. The venue is interesting, staff is nice and welcoming. The choice of beers is intimidating (so many options!) The food however is not great- we tried pizza and fries and I think it wasn't my best choice of the day. But the place is worth visiting!

They have really good food especially for roast Sundays. They also offer live music and theater shows. I recommend that location.

We dropped in by chance and enjoyed the atmosphere in there and the staff were very helpful. Not a large menu but what we had was very good especially the pizza and lamb kofta.

Lovely venue, with flags to show enthusiastic LGBTQIA+ support. I found it a bit difficult with my wheelchair. Lovely staff, lovely food, and the wardrobe theatre was cute.

First time visitor and booked Sunday Lunch. Both myself and daughter ordered The Pork Belly roast. 😋 Absolute delight , pork, crackling and gravy were top class . Plenty of roasted veg and potatoes, also cooked to perfection. Unhealthy but delightful portions! The Assembly room is atmospheric with rose ceilings and other decor showcasing it's historic past matched with unfussy furnishings to make it all feel homely. Noted that they'd put thoughtful sound breaks on the cieling which ensure peoples conversations are kept to their tables...Warm and snug inside despite zero temperatures outside. Staff welcoming and friendly. Oh yes trademark Bloody Mary was also perfect with for me just the right amount of tobascco to give us a warming kick. 10/10 experience.

Lovely staff and gaff but the roast dinner was surprisingly not a great offering. Was the end of service though so perhaps not the best time to walk in!
