I was used to going to Bang for client lunches and work gatherings over the years. This time, we went for a little festive dinner with our two daughters (age 6 and 8) and everything from start to finish was just gorgeous. Delicious food, excellent wine and a really lovely relaxed atmosphere and interior in the dining room upstairs. The icing on the cake was definitely the excellent service. Professional and really lovely, friendly staff, who were so kind and fun with the kids too. We’ll be back for sure. Thanks guys! X

The Festive Lunch Menu at e55 was well thought & varied. Our party of 4 enjoyed the lunch very much. We had 2 bottles of wine. At our spend level I was disappointed when we were put on notice to vacate our table & presented with our bill. Our sitting was at 1pm & at 3.15pm when I was still drinking my coffee we vacated our table as requested. We were asked if we would like a table downstairs in the bar to complete our outing but the moment had passed and we said our goodbyes. It is a very large restaurant & I did not see a line of guests waiting to take our table.
