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.
Pizza is out of this world and Phil is a little treasure! Best service ever, Would recommend to everyone!

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.
