Hadn't dined at Switch in a few years. Dined there on my birthday with my mama and my sister. We really enjoyed the food and beverages. I ordered a vegetarian burger and chippies, which were delicious. I'll be returning to Switch in a week's time for one of my other birthday dinners with a group of friends.

The food staff were amazing and the lady serving the pork was an absolute star would want to see her in any restaurant. The bar staff were awful and rude it was 5.29 and I asked if the bar was open yet and the lady said no are you not able to read we don't open till 5.30. We loved the food and because of one experience we will not be returning, but don't want to put people off cos the food was 5 * just the service wasn't
