Terrible food. Made me ill. Cold food

Probable food poisoning issue. Our food arrived far too quickly. Within 5 to 10 minutes of ordering. Lukewarm at best. Steak pudding. We both ended up leaving half and the waitress commented on this. Told her it arrived not very warm. Got the usual sorry platitudes. We commented when it arrived so quick. Definitely been precooked and not heated properly. Within 3 hours I was violently ill whilst at the theatre opposite. Complained to the management about this, got a rather snippy and 'it's nothing to do with our food email', then received nothing after my reply. The manager knew this was a probable food poisoning issue, and didn't want to know. Told me to go to my GP and basically to 'prove it after seeing my GP'. Awful experience and totally ruined my long awaited theatre night.
Not even an offer of part refund, no apology, nothing. 100% my illness was caused by their poor food, ad I had eaten nothing else hardly all day.
Have reported it to Food standards Agency.

Pros: Building

Cons: Food , Prices

Beautiful Vegan Sunday roast

Nipped in for a quick Sunday roast before the theatre next door. Lovely mushroom Wellington bigger than it looks In photos. Comes with carrots' cabbage and tasty toasties (about 3) covered in gravy. You can order a side of toasties and get another 10 or so. Comes in at around £18 and big portion. Really enjoyed. Friendly, efficient but not overpowering service and a beautiful big restaraunt.

Great Sunday roast

I think it’s quite hard to find a good Sunday roast but this one was delicious. The highlight was the roast potatoes (definitely order a few extra as they are so nice)! Lovely restaurant and atmosphere

Pros: Great roast, Beautiful restaurant
