    Delicious, high quality food at good value with plenty of options for different dietary needs. Staff were friendly and helpful. We sat outdoor in the undercover area which was warm and well lit on a cool evening. Perfect place for a birthday dinner with friends. Thankyou!

    This was a fantastic experience. The food was great and the service was attentive and friendly. My family said they never had a terimisu that was this good before. This place is great for groups and couples. And looks lovely at night. Highly recommended

    The food and service was excellent. There was a large group that were extremely loud, but that’s ok as it’s about being out and about having fun.

    We have always enjoyed dining at Franco & Co; however, our most recent experience will prevent us from returning. Our chicken Parma was served raw, with the coating cooked but the inside still uncooked. The manager's response was unsatisfactory; while they apologised, they only offered to waive the charge for that one meal. The undercooked chicken affected our entire dining experience, leading us to request that the whole dinner not be charged. Such a consideration should be proactively offered by management, rather than requiring customers to ask for it. Additionally, we received no compensation, and there seemed to be a complete lack of concern for the health of the customer who had consumed the raw chicken!
