    All the staff were great and the music was brilliant. I can recommend listening to the Vox Beatles. There was a good choice of food.
    SOUND CafeResponded on May 12, 2025
    Dear Brenda, Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We’re chuffed to hear you enjoyed your time with us at SOUND Cafe, especially the brilliant tunes from The Vox Beatles. They certainly know how to twist and shout their way into a Sunday evening, don’t they? We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to the team, they’ll be delighted. We're glad the menu hit the right notes too. We try to keep the choices as varied as our playlist! Hope to see you again soon for more great food, live music, and good vibes. Until then - all you need is love (and maybe a cheeky cocktail or two)! Kind regards, Guest Services SOUND @ The Cumberland

    The service really needs improving. The service is slow, forgetful and you are spoken to very abruptly in the event you can get actually get a waiter to attend your table. The food was decent and the drinks were strong. The entertainment was a nice touch, but unfortunately the staff really let this place down. Very poor etiquette.

    Fabulous experience. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly, keeping our glasses topped up with gentle humour and took the time to get to know us and vice versa. The food was excellent, we all had different meals and really enjoyed them, generous portions, full of flavour and scrummy chips! Great atmosphere with 70's and 80's music and videos on the screen, right up our street! Highly recommended will definitely be returning
    SOUND CafeResponded on May 11, 2025
    Dear Debbie, What an absolutely brilliant review, thank you for taking the time to share such kind words. We’re thrilled to hear you had a fabulous time with us at SOUND. It sounds like your waiter really hit the right notes - there’s nothing better than service with a smile (and a splash of humour), especially when it comes with full glasses and full plates! We’re so pleased the food hit the spot, with generous portioned, flavourful, and scrummy chips? That’s music to our ears. And speaking of music, we’re delighted the throwback tunes had you feeling the groove. There’s nothing quite like a retro playlist to bring the vibes! We can’t wait to welcome you back for another lively visit soon! Kind regards, Guest Services SOUND @ The Cumberland

    Dear valued guest, What a brilliant way to celebrate a birthday, we’re absolutely over the moon you chose to spend it with us at SOUND!

    Great venue to catch live shows and a meal. Food is above average for quality & price. Guessing prices high due to connection to the hotel. We saw Vox Beatles show and highly recommend. They are there Sunday nights through October.
