The Lead Station has garnered attention for its vibrant atmosphere and delicious food, offering a blend of positive and negative experiences. Diners commend the wide gluten-free options, delectable starters, and thoughtful presentation. However, concerns arise regarding small portion sizes and delays in main course service, coupled with loud music that hampers conversation. While some patrons rave about the attentive staff and cozy vibes, others note abrupt service. A few consistent highlights include the flavorful dishes, particularly the veggie burger and succulent roasts, ensuring that many guests leave eager to return, despite minor setbacks.

I hadn't been to the Lead Station in a while, but last night's dinner was fantastic. The four of us ordered different starters and main courses, and every dish was delicious. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable, and the staff was friendly. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long before returning.

We had a pleasant meal at this restaurant. My husband ordered steak and chips, while I opted for a flavorful spring salad. We were pleased to find that there were only a few other diners since it was early. However, the loud background music was bothersome and made it difficult to have a conversation. The service was a bit abrupt, with the waitress simply saying "Yep" when we asked for the bill. Despite these issues, the restaurant had a bright and airy atmosphere, which we enjoyed.

Absolutely do not recommend, should have read the reviews before going to know that its overpriced mad house and the manager wasn't willing to solve the issue.

This restaurant is perfect for large gatherings! There is plenty of room, a variety of menu choices to cater to everyone's tastes, a extensive wine list, and knowledgeable staff who can recommend wine pairings. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, with friendly staff providing excellent service. The food is delicious. We had a great experience - thank you!

Absolutely brilliant! I can't recommend this place very enough - brilliant staff, that can't do enough for them and the best steak ever so a beautiful atmosphere. I will be definitiw back
