What User likes about The Garage And Grille:
fantastic motorsport theme rod. large portions (if you can manage 3 courses, I congratulate them), very tasty eating. if they want to turn in the afternoon, it comes in a toolbox! View all feedback. What acceber92 doesn't like about The Garage And Grille:
The theme is very nice and the setting is good. However the food was absolutely dire. I can honestly say this was the worst vegetarian burger I’ve ever had. I’ve had better in supermarket cafes. The chips were bland and lukewarm at best. It’s such a shame as this place does have potential but the food needs serious work. Sadly I won’t be returning anytime soon. View all feedback.
