    Excellent food, beautiful old space, good service. Only slight grumble is two dishes came with appropriate vegetables but two you had to choose vegetables as extra sides but prices were much the same. Would have been nice to have vegtables included with all dishes perhaps with an option of which to have.

    Ate at the Opposition for a pre-theatre meal and received a warm welcome by staff. Cosy and relaxed atmosphere with very attentive staff. Food was delicious and very good value on the fixed price menu. A very enjoyable meal.

    As previously experienced (every time we go to the theatre and eat there before the play - if an evening performance - or afterwards - if a matinee) The Opposition delivered a lovely meal yesterday, in a great setting with excellent service and good value (given the standard of all of the dishes delivered). Thank you to all the team for a very enjoyable experience- again ! Bernie and Liz

    Delicious food, flexible about 2 starters and no main, and service focused on getting us through without rushing but so that we could get to the RSC on time
