Mr Man's Restaurant

There's nothing wrong with the place & it's all absolutely 'fine'. My low rating is based on my own personal preferences & standards and also based on the last time I visited over twelve years ago. It's very different. I get that. I get how difficult the hospitality trade is & I'm grateful for the food. Its with my opinion that with all the COVID plastic dirty barriers still up all around the place, (which I get) & the yellow & black tape everywhere, the tired old-fashioned decor & the somewhat rushed service (which included stripping the table down back to the plastic cover before we'd finished our drinks) it was just a bit disappointing. There's no where to sit & have a drink really whilst you wait for your table, the bar doesn't have anything on draft & there was a very funny taste with the bottled Asahi, but it was all just ok. The food comes out I assume cooked fresh - that's great but it also means it comes out in the order you get it, there's no acknowledgement of a starter or main. You just get it when you get it, & that includes any sides. The duck was a bit dry, the Lamb was a bit fatty & greasy, & the Nasi Goreng was not a Nasi Goreng that I know, but I'm hardly an expert. The prices for food was ok, but a small 330ml bottled beer, £5, and a J20 where they fill a small 16oz highball glass then take the rest away, well I just dont know, £100 in total for two. The place is very noisy & the single room set up means there's no ambience as such, its just like sitting in a very busy room with everyone talking. No music, no lighting, tables & chairs stacked on top of one another, like they are having a clear out. I do like the fact they clearly specify what the gluten free & vegetarian options are, but myself & partner, along with what we noticed most people struggled with, are the menus are old fashioned in leather bound books with plastic covers so the bright artificial light reflects & you can't see the actual menu. I'm sorry it just was ok. I'm more than grateful for the folk who work there & the hard work that goes into running a place like this, just not for me.

Two of us came here for a birthday celebration. 1st time here for me. Really enjoyed the set lunch (with a couple of extras, I recommend the Chinese vegetables with garlic). Good amount of quality food on set menu & is great value. Exras are a bit pricey.....Lovely food, great service! The only reason I only gave 3 stars for atmosphere is because the place was quite empty- not their fault though. Good value, fabulous lunch ! Many thanks.

Excellent as always, been coming here for many years and the service and food quality is always high. The décor is great. My personal favourites include the vegetarian lettuce wrap and the sizzling monk fish. The aubergines in the vegetarian mixed hors d'oeuvres are always spot on. The menu is very allergy friendly with a separate page for nut free dishes.

My family and I have been coming here for years and the food and service have never wavered. We have 2 vegetarians, and one nut allergy in family and they are always so accommodating with loads of options. The vegetarian set menu is divine. All of the dishes are cooked to perfection and it's always such a personal service. They have a grand piano and pianist on Friday and Saturday evenings which creates a magical atmosphere.

Food was excellent. Every course came out extremely quick. Would recommend the set menus. Lots of food for the price per head. Staff did seem a little miserable except the bar lady. Place could do with a refurb as looking a bit dated but again the food was excellent so that made up for it.
