    We chose to eat at The Folio Bar & Restaurant to celebrate my son's 21st birthday. We booked many weeks in advance and in the run up to the booking the staff communicated regularly in order to plan the perfect celebration. When we arrived for our booking at 1pm there was just our table for 8 and a large table of about 20. Two waiting staff were available which soon became an issue as the restaurant filled up. We waited almost an hour for the bottle of prosecco we ordered to toast my son's birthday while perusing the menu. When the food did arrive my mother's starter and main course arrived 5-10 minutes after the rest. The plus point has to be the food which was definitely worth the wait. We couldn't fault it! And when we got to desserts thankfully more staff were available for the full restaurant so the dessert, candle and singing I organised for my son in advance of his big day was also worth the wait!

    Valentines Day set meal was beautiful. Two things that could have been better. The duck 4th course could have been hotter and the 5th course desert i expected a real desert not just some chocolates. Overall very good and would go again.

    Wonderful evening. Lovely food. Sometimes a little noise from people making noise at the bar playing pool but it didn’t distract from a great meal. Would definitely come here again

    It was a lovely experience. We have been here several times. The food is great, and the service is exceptional. We had a small birthday celebration and were very pleased with how it turned out. We will definitely come back again.
