    We have eaten at the Back Street many times and the food is always outstanding! We always go just before Christmas as a family tradition and find it good value for the quality. Thanks again!

    We visited for the first time for my boyfriends 40th. It fell on a Wednesday so it was an easy option to book for the steak sharer option. The value was unquestionable before we even set foot through the door! £50 for 2 people to be fed and watered it incredible! Anyway, we arrived, all the staff were super friendly and welcoming. We were offered drinks almost immediately. Our server was lovely, offered above and beyond what we expected and gave good recommendations on options available whilst just having a wee chat. While we waited on our food to arrive we had some salt and vinegar popcorn to snack on....very moreish The atmosphere was so relaxed. Christmas tunes playing in the background and beautifully decorated too. Of course we were there for the food and were blown away with the value versus the quality. The steak was cooked to perfection 👌🏼 the mac and cheese was delish 😋 the chips were immense and the extra onion rings were possibly the best we have ever tasted 🤌🏼 Even though the birthday boy was feeling unwell he really enjoyed his evening and we can't wait to come back again. Will defo be recommending to family and friends and putting a gift voucher on the next gift wish list 😉
