   Steak was freezing cold. I can only assume it was pre cooked and refrigerated to save time, very disappointing.

   The menu has changed since our last visit, two of us decided to order the fish and chips as sounded yummy with the mushy peas. Both received generous serves however 2 of the 3 fish fillets on each plate were like rubber, and the mushy peas were served cold. Avoid this one. Otherwise the venue is good for a group and the drinks service was great.

   Ridiculous that you’re asked to go upstairs to collect your own food

   We had a terrible experience here. I would not recommend anyone to go here to watch sport. I had booked a table for 4 people for the Swans game, was guaranteed a screen in view to watch the game and confirmed the reservation the day before. When we arrived on time for our reservation they gave us a table without any screens in view and also that was not even reserved for us in the end! When we asked for a different table and pointed out that our name wasn't written on the table then the woman who was helping us told us that their booking system had 'shat itself' and had overbooked for the match so we did not get a table. We were then told to go upstairs to find somewhere to stand to watch - the only thing was there was an event on at 6pm so we would have to leave at 6pm. We were fine with this as the match would be over by then and having only 20 minutes until the match we did not have much other choice since we were not going to get in anywhere else that close to match time. Watching the match was fine however when it came to 15 minutes left (ending at 5:05pm) of the match, the bouncer informed everyone on the 3rd level that we had to leave in 10 minutes (at 5pm). Since there were only 5 minutes left of the match obviously people complained especially since we had been there spending money all day. We thought surely they will let us stay for 5 more minutes to finish the match but at 5pm they turned off the tvs on the 3rd level which was shocking behaviours. I have never experienced this in a restaurant or bar. Thank goodness it wasn't a close match however I will never forget this and would never rely on a booking at the Light Brigade - definitely not for a match!! So I will not be back. Very disappointed since so many people had recommended it so highly.

   Had a shocking experience with my booking here. I booked for 9 of us for my birthday. Their booking system was ‘down’, and offered no solution. I asked if I should just grab any table - he said sure. I found a table with the previous guests food and drinks uncleared. Myself and my friends cleared the food, and I then had to go to the bar to ask them to wipe down the table - to a begrudging yes. The food made all of us unwell despite tasting fine. There was not a single toilet upstairs with toilet paper, and no soap in any dispensers. I lined up at the bar to advise them of this, to another ‘oh okay’. Seriously disappointed with service and will not be back. Made my birthday very stressful and disappointing.

    The quality of our food was of a high standard, but the staff confused the order. The lights in the upstairs ladies toilets and the pizza oven also weren’t working. The place felt a little disorganised and maybe that is just a problem due to the recent change of ownership? We’ll be back again soon and hopefully things return to something approaching the positive experiences of the past.
