   Quite possibly the worst experience I’ve ever had when eating out. Asked for Carbonara but instead of pancetta we had pork cheek and a really dreadful taste. The rigatoni picante arrived with no spicy sausage in it or any burrata as advertised but we should’ve known from the beginning as the antipasto started arrived without any prosciutto, barely any olives etc and instead of focaccia we were given poppadums.

   We are always very satisfied by our Carluccios experience so we’re really upset to learn that the restaurant is closing on Sunday. Such a shame as it is always our go to choice.

   The waiting staff were great . But so much food not available , New Year’s Eve , party of 6 , 2 teenagers ! Table booked well in advance We arrived and were told no pizza and no pancetta ! Two basic Italian staples . Then we ordered around this and found out other things were off the menu. We were given drinks on the house as an apology , but sadly disappointed overall.

   I was not able to connect to the WiFi. Brasserie Blanc's WiFi was however accessible.

   Went with two of my friends for a little get together before Christmas to enjoy a nice meal. I had the sirloin steak, and they had a Sea Bass and the Chicken Saltimbocca, all of which were cooked perfectly in my opinion. Will definitely be eating there again.

   We were seated promptly and staff were attentive. The main meal (lasagne) was quite a small portion for the price. Dessert was good. The waitress offered us a discount off our bills which was a nice touch.

   Very disappointed in the awful service! Despite the restaurant being quiet with few customers the food took too long to arrive and did not arrive all together. Two of us had almost finished our meals before the other two arrived, to our dismay the side dishes we ordered did not arrive, they had forgotten them! We had to ask for by Parmesan cheese, in an Italian restaurant!!! We also had to ask for cutlery. Food was adequate but not great! All in all a bad experience and we will certainly not visit this restaurant again.

    As usual the staff were lovely and the food good. However, only two prawns on the sharing platter is a continual disappointment- there really should be four!!!
