I'm not sure how to review the recess bar upstairs given the upstairs area is closed for renovations and they are still taking bookings for it, to then notify you on arrival that upstairs isn't an option. They have an upstairs option and a downstairs option when booking, just remove the one that's not available instead of baiting customers to come to your venue. Food was great staff were friendly obviously management not too concerned with honesty...

Food was all super delicious! I am coeliac, so really apprecited everything being gluten free. The non-gluten free people also loved all the food. Share style food makes for a lovely evening. We were lucky enough to be upstairs on a Friday night and got a fabulous drag show with dinner. 10/10!
