Absolutely delightful evening at Frank’s Canteen and so happy finally made it! The food was unbelievable - rich, delicious, incredible flavours, really decent portion sizes and fairly priced. It was so hard to choose between all the dishes! Honestly cannot express how delicious it was. Lovely staff, warm welcome, no corkage also sweetened the deal. Really lovely can’t wait to go back hopefully for Christmas menu!

We booked brunch on Bank Holiday Monday and were delighted to find that the restaurant was a small independent business with lots of staff and a great family atmosphere. The service was friendly and they even made me an espresso martini that wasn’t on the menu. Food was all prepared to order and was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend this place to anyone. It’s small but has both an upstairs and an outside dinning area. A great find 🥰❤️🥰❤️
