Feedback
Reviews praise Union Kitchen’s friendly staff, great pizza and lively DJ nights, but note occasional misleading online hours, busy waits and table mix-ups.
When we arrived, the restaurant was actually closed, despite what Facebook and Google indicated. We were able to secure a table but ultimately had to dine elsewhere.
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was fantastic, the drinks were high quality, and the prices were reasonable. The door staff were very helpful and polite. I will definitely be returning in the future.
Our visit to the restaurant was enjoyable, although it was quite busy and there was a wait of around half an hour for each round of drinks. Ordering and waiting for our food took a while as well. There was a slight mix-up with our tables, but it was eventually resolved.
We called in here for a drink as it is very handy for the bus station last Saturday night. It was only 7.30pm so there were only 20 or so people in, but it was OK. The drinks were reasonably priced and there was 70s and 80s disco music being played. It was OK for a quick drink on the way to the bus station.
We called in for a drink on Saturday afternoon. Pleasant surprise .... good music good drinks will definitely visit again. Lovely bar staff and 2 drinks around £5.

Regulars often tip the bar staff for a little local theatre: impromptu DJ swaps or surprise karaoke climaxes sometimes turn a casual night into an unforgettable one—ask the bar team about the evening’s playlist or any off-menu pizza specials.
