    Fantastic first meal at The Bank. Never had tapas before and was a perfect place to try it. The food was excellent as was the service. Have recommended it already and we certainly will be back.

    Food was Devine couldn’t fault it. Greeted and explained how things work by a lovely young lady on arrival but sadly the service did then become slack taking a long time to come to the table to order. Also had to ask three times for salt and pepper to be brought to the table. Slow bringing bill and dealing with payment. I would return however this is just some feedback so they can hopefully address this and improve their waitress service! :)

    Hi Polly, Many thanks for your recent visit and taking the time to leave your feedback, we love to hear from our guests! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your tapas choices, our chefs will be so pleased! Thank you for your note on your service aspects, I am so sorry you had to ask more than once for condiments and felt the wait between arrival and ordering was a little slow, we will absolutely address with the team the importance of ensuring tasks are prioritised especially so on a busy evening. Huge thanks again for your visit and feedback, both very much appreciated :). We hope to welcome you again soon for another tapas treat!

    Terrific food. Good Variety of dishes and options. Was in an outdoor pod which was cosy and warm and with dogs allowed. Worth a lovely treat, but a rare one as on the expensive side, although we did over order a little! Might have been nice to have some light background music in the pod.

    Hi Peter, Many thanks for your recent visit and taking the time to leave your kind words. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your experience with us and in one of our cosy pods! Thank you so much for the note on the background music, we completely agree and it is a task we are working on so fingers crossed that'll be all up and running in the not too distant future! Huge thanks again for your visit and feedback, we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Very best wishes from all the team here at The Bank.
