We travelled from Cumbria to watch a show and called ahead to inform we were held up in traffic and would be late for our reservation, but were reassured not to worry.
Despite a delay to food service due to a fire alarm in The Corn Exchange building (which meant the gas supply was automatically disconnected and the kitchen had to temporarily close), the waitress who served us kept us informed and looked after with delicious cocktails.
The 2 for 1 cocktail offer was great value and we tried our first Caramel 'Old Fashioned' after our waitress suggested we should. I was hesitant, but I am glad we did. They were delicious!
The only reason I haven't given the full five stars was because we had to wait for over ten minutes at the entrance to be seen to by a member of the team. In the end my husband went inside to try and find someone but it felt less friendly than we feel it should have. Whilst we appreciate that it was very busy, we would have given the full five stars if someone could have just acknowledged us.
Luckily, as soon as we were shown to our table, the waitress allocated to us turned everything around. We feel bad for not remembering her name, sorry!!!
Banyan was recommended to me by a friend and it did not disappoint. Friendly, super efficient and the food was well worth the wait.
We will be back!
I visited with a group of friends for a birthday bottomless brunch. I was late due to the protests in town, but when I arrived, the 2 drinks I missed were already on the table, ready for me to catch up. While I thought it was odd to have us loaded on alcohol on empty stomachs, I appreciate that the drinks and prosecco topups were generous. Carys - or Karys? - (great brows) was lovely and friendly. The other server with great black hair was also very nice.
I had a lovely chicken schnitzel, and when food came up, I was already food on liquids (if you know what I mean), so I didn't take pictures. Here's a photo of the decorations.
Delicious food and fast service. The staff were friendly and polite. Andrew took great care of us making sure we had everything we needed/wanted. We had the bottomless brunch and it was great value for money. A Lovely place with a great atmosphere. Will definitely be back!
