    Pretty classic burger, but really fresh and tasty!! The atmosphere was pub like and the staff was really polite. The only thing that was a bit meh, was the price, since it was on the expensive side, for a neighborhood pub, I mean. Would go again, to see the place in a more busy day.

    The atmosphere were very nice, very industrial but cosy look. The place is perfect for small to big group hangout. First of my disappointment were they do not do Guinness at all!! Anyway they have standard collection of beers, ciders, wines and cocktails. Most of the foods were 8 on 10 but the Calamari was best 10 on 10, I highly recommend of trying that. We had Buddha bowl forbgot to add chicken, so make sure you do so otherwise it wont fill you. Fish and chips and the other dish were average as well. Hope you can enjoy 😊

    4 off us went to the Button Factory last Sunday for dinner. It wasn't planned or booked and we were the first through the door. 3 off us had Sunday dinner and 1 kofta burger. We were all very impressed, although the mixed green vegetables had a dressing which we didn't like and didn't eat them. I had chicken and the other 2 were beef, all had yorkshire pudding and fabulous gravy. Average price £15 each. On Sundays street parking is free.

    We had our staff get-together at the Button Factory & the food & service were excellent. All our food was freshly cooked and beautifully presented & all the staff were excellent & made us very welcome. We look forward to visiting again & sampling more dishes from the menu.

    Really nice roof top terrace and the food was incredible. I felt the ordering experience wasn't very good as there is an app but it applied a 40p service charge for 1 drink and had no option to order food, so I had to go to the bar where I was waiting for quite a while... I would also like to have seen more non-alcoholic drinks on the menu. I was driving and felt like there wasn't a great deal of choice. Some mocktails would be nice

    Popped in during a sunny afternoon. Perfect quick stop for a cheeky cocktail We didn't eat but the food I saw looked incredible, I must return for food. Cocktail was delicious and fresh. Staff were inviting and really friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit her, especially with the roof top terrace with the summer coming!

    The Button Factory is a nice restaurant/pub to go for casual food and drinks. There is a large bar area where you can sit and enjoy drinks from the extensive drinks list including beers, cocktails and wines, huge variety. There is also another area with an open kitchen, where you can enjoy some food. Went there on Saturday for some lunch. It was quite busy but a member of staff found us a table quickly and sat us. At that moment the menu offered brunch. Plenty of small plates, mains, sides and desserts. Everything was absolutely delicious and homemade. The staff were all very friendly and helpful! Overall very nice experience and definitely going back soon!

    This place is always buzzing with people whenever we go by and today we booked a table for Sunday Lunch. Lovely decor inside, really friendly staff. I had the Sunday Roast beef and it was ok, steak knives would have helped with beef and mine was unfortunate to have a line of gristle running through, it tasted good although chewy, Yorkshire pudding was a little overcooked and I maybe should have asked for more gravy. Live music started at 2:30 and the singer had a great voice and added to the experience. We did move elsewhere for puddings though as it was too loud for conversation. Would maybe have given 3.5/5 but bumped it up to 4 rather than down to 3 as felt that was too low. Well worth a visit once.

    Apparently the place looks ok, so we decidwd to have some burgers there. Apart from the fact that the burger was flooded with mustard (their special sauce) I don't remember much about it, very under average burger and the chips were half burned ... interesting, I didn't ask for super crunchy chips ... If I have to highlight a positive one, the staff was very friendly and helpful so hey ho! The wood floor by the bar been removed and looks quite bad. If that wasn't enough wait until you go to toilets and you see those urinals with green stuffs underneath and the top pipes look that they are growing some fungus mixed with metal corrosion... absolutely terrible. I would give them zero stars, but one is the minimum... never again! After all of those we been surprised that we didn't have good poisoning... so maybe is ok to give them a star 🌟 Ah, don't be surprised if you get service charge... is there, very little text at the end of the menu .... 🍻 cheers!

    Wedding We had our wedding reception / party upstairs in the button factory. Our original wedding was cancelled due to covid and was supposed to be a more traditional barn wedding so it was a complete change of direction for us choosing the button factory! I’m almost grateful that our original wedding was cancelled because this was the perfect setting for us! The food 10/10, the cocktails, the unique setting with the terrace, everything was perfect! The staff were super friendly and helpful when it came to questions running up to the event and planning, and also on the day they were all so nice and helpful. So many of our friends said it was the best wedding they’d been to! We had about 80 guests in total and we also had a band, and it was the perfect size for this. We could probably have had up to 100+ guests comfortably to be fair! But this way we could clear one area for the band and dance floor. Honestly 10/10 recommended for a relaxed laid back but super fun wedding reception!

    Amazing place. Great service, great food. We went for Brunch and it was great. Reasonably priced and staff were lovely. We will definitely be going again!

    A fantastic and understated restaurant! The atmosphere was great and the food was exceptional. Will definitely be back in the future. We had a few starters to share, calamari was amazing and the lamb flatbread was to die for. We also had Chipotle chicken, burger and the swordfish.

    Hot spot! Full of beautiful people and staff that can make a proper shandy lager. The terrace is selling point and if you want to enjoy it, better book in advance. In terms of food I only had a small plate, some coated chicken with garlic yoghurt dip and fries. It was ok. Cheers

    Great atmosphere.. only had a drink here as my partner doesn't like good with peppers in.. but was a good menu for those of a more adventurous nature and a good selection of drinks. A lovely atmosphere.. a good pub.

    Booked for a working lunch and can surely say it’s an amazing space and place to come for a beer and nibbles. Service is fantastic and staff are friendly. Surely recommend this to everyone for lunch and a great selection of beers and spirits. 👍👍👌👌

    Went on a Wednesday at 3pm and was not busy. The decor is nice and lovely and there are plenty of comfy tables to sit at. We ordered at the bar and staff are accomodating with food mods. The food itself is good and nicely presented. Staff are welcoming and checking back on your table to see if your happy with your food. I just wish they had more chicken and fish options on the menu but overall very nice and pleasant experience.

    Had one of the best Sunday Dinners ive ever had! Everything just tasted amazing, we did however all agree that one piece of meat wasn’t enough for the price point. Service was quite poor, we had to wait a long time to have our orders taken even though it wasnt busy. I asked to have the service charge taken off at the end as i felt the service wasnt outstanding, waitress looked offended.

    The only reason I downgraded the atmosphere is because we were initially sat in front of the kitchen, too close to the frying area which meant, I got splattered with hot oil on my back. It didn't cause injury but health and safety clearly wasn't risk assessed sufficiently when spacing tables and kitchen. I asked to be moved and they have. I hope they review their seating and kitchen work area.

    Popped in for a couple of drinks. I've been here many times, and the vibrant atmosphere was the same as ever. Great customer service 👏

    The Button Factory, on Friday, hosted our wedding after party. You have to buy the catering from the venue, but is competitively priced and very good quality. A lot of our guests commented on how nice it was. We were allowed to bring our own cake, as well as hire an independent photo booth and our own decorations. We also had one of their DJs who was brilliant (I’m so sorry the weather was good and there was very few people dancing - but we could hear it on the terrace and the tunes were brilliant!) In my opinion, their house DJ was far cheaper than hiring independent, and there’s a few who cater for different genres. For town I also thought the bar prices were reasonable. BUT… the best thing about this venue is Lauren and her fabulous team! Such lovely thoughtful people who are so helpful. Well done everyone. You should be proud of your lovely venue and the service you provide. Thank you again.
