Brilliant - Wans is a much needed venue in our area. Spacious, quiet, comfortable with great food and service. It takes guts and determination to open a restraunt in the hospitality industry today, so hears hoping Wans stays long term.

The staff did a phenomenal job even with a large group of 11. Drinks came out quickly, even when ordering 10 cocktails at once, and all the food was consistent across the table. Everything was 10/10 and would absolutely come here again in future
