Some interesting menu choices, including good vegetarian options. The steak lover in the party was over the moon with the quality of the sirloin. Service was friendly and unobtrusive, and the tables were well spaced so no feeling like every word you said was being overheard! Really good value and well worth the booking. Would recommend.

A Friday evening visit for my dad's 70th birthday, the food and wine was fabulous with lots of flavours, wonderful presentation and good value for the quality on offer. Tables are of a good size so you are not on top of each other and well spaced so you can have a decent conversation.

Went for the a la carte menu, which is on the pricey side, but worth the money. Food was fantastic, wine was lovely, service was excellent and the restaurant interior was lovely too.

It may not look amazing from the outside, but it sure does have a lot to offer. Every time I have visited Food Social it has always been consistent, apart from the odd slightly overcooked stake which was sorted immediately, it is always a pleasure to eat there. There is a good selection of wine and the smellier is always... More

Visited here with my partner and ate from the tapas menu with a free glass of wine each. The wine was good and I only wish the flavour had been there in the tapas, however the quality was good & fresh. Very relaxing and good attentive waitress.

After hearing rave reviews from family we decided to try here and were very disappointed, can't believe this restaurant is ranked #4. Service was poor as the music was so loud we couldn't hear the staff and vice versa. Menu is ridiculously pretentious and over complicated, as is the food. I had the mixed fish grill which was swimming in... More

Came to the restaurant with my partner we had booked a table as wasn't sure if gets really busy or not! Restaurant is really nice and big not sitting close to other tables. The waitress was friendly and the menu was good, not too big! We opted for the 2 courses for £13 which is very reasonable for a place... More

Interesting setting in an old biscuit factory sharing the space with a gallery which can be seen from the dining area. We dined on a Sunday lunchtime so the menu was centered around a roast. At £13.95 for 2 courses it was pretty reasonable. Throw in some top notch wait staff at that's a good combintation. Pork loin (with crackling)... More
