I have attended for a few drinks events which are similarly mixed experiences. The meals are up and down so I wouldn't bother coming for the food - some dishes are good value and taste fine, whereas others are very stingy with bland flavours although cooked fine even if meat tends to be overdone. Nothing I've had or seen here is particularly worth raving about. What killed it for me though was attending a recent drinks event here and to watch staff get drunk attending with friends and devour the entire food setting and hog the whole amount set for the entire event before anyone else could get to it, and then be rude and snotty to other paying customers. While this isn't the venue's fault inherently, I felt it should be noted and the response was very poor. I've never had a venue feel it was OK for staff to get drunk and treat customers this way with them taking priority over customers so I won't be back although I never felt the food was worth coming back for anyway. A shame as it's got a nice beer garden in my local area.

One is that it so noisy that we were screaming to speak to each other. Some acoustic measures would be a great investment. Second reason is that it's not much fun going out for lunch or dinner when you have to go and order every drink and meal yourself at the bar. Takes the eating out part out. Apart from that the experience was great.

No table service unless you order from the QR code and the bar staff were taking drink, orders and food orders. We had a late lunch and the music/DJ made it difficult to hear each other.
