13 of us chose to have our Work Xmas Do at As you like it, and we had an absolutely fantastic time.
We prebooked our food easily weeks prior and communication was easy with the restaurant leading up to the event. When we arrived, it seemed quite quiet (7pm) but the bar was well staffed which was great. 2-4-1 on the drinks 5-9pm was an absolute winner on arrival.
We were given a fab table set up for our meal and the main woman looking after us (Nicki I believe if my memory serves me right) was absolutely amazing. Starters arrived by about 8pm, mains about 10 mins after we finished our starters but the desserts took a little longer than anticipated. However, we were all too busy having fun, catching up & taking photos!
The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone was thrilled with their food throughout. There was only a small issue with 1 persons steak which turned out to be unavailable, but a GOGW was offered which was a great touch in return. Highly recommend the Beef Cheek for main - it was DIVINEEEE.
We had a great space reserved for all of us afterwards downstairs ready for the live music where we all drank and danced our socks off.
Thank you to all the staff who took part in making our evening so great! All of the team couldn’t stop saying what a great night they were having throughout.
Highlights of the night - The 2/4/1, the food and the identical twins at the bar downstairs totally messing with my head when ordering a drink on arrival haha.
The place can get absolutely RAMMED, making it so difficult to get in and out, get served at the bar and to go to the toilets! So be prepared for that if you’re not a fan of a big crowd. The restaurant upstairs is away from all the hustle and bustle of the drinkers though.
Restaurant week. We had an early booking of 5.30pm on a Monday and it was quiet and so staff were very attentive. Only doing the select menu, items came out extremely quickly and we had 3 courses within an hour of arrival. A really nice quirky venue with great decor. Food was probably the best of the week (having got to a restaurant a day during this week!).
Pork belly just divine! Lamb ragu in pappardelle pasta, tender and tasty. Chocolate mousse rich and delicious!
I did not have high expectations going into this restaurant but it is amazing!! It serves the best fish and chips I have ever had!!
I could not finish as it was a massive fish and they offered to put it in a takeaway box
The restaurant is very classy and has one of the most comprehensive drinks menu. The bar is properly stocked up with more spirits than you can count.
Table service was excellent and it is child friendly
Lots of cosy dining spaces and I think I saw some couches
