    Had a nice " Girls that lunch" brunch. In this amazing place. We loved it from the moment we saw the building. Very nice and really friendly and helpful staff. Lots of lovely choices from the brunch menu. You get to choose 3 dishes. And unlimited cocktails for 2 hours. The food and drink was amazing. Fantastic time .

    Went for a bottomless brunch this Thursday with an old friend to catch up, we usually do this every couple months at Turtle Bay but decided to try somewhere new and we weren’t disappointed! The drinks were so delicious and the the food was also very nice! The server was very attentive and friendly, and helpful when we asked about the drinks! Only slight down side was I accidentally ordered a spicy dish when I have 0 spice tolerance but that’s on me! Shows there’s a range of food depending on what you like! I also had Mac and cheese which with the complimentary bread was a perfect brunch Meal. We only managed to get about 8 drinks in before being so full that we practically crawled home. But would definitely recommend!

    Great little cocktail bar, can't comment on the food as I've not eaten here before but the cocktails particularly during "happy hour" when they are 2 for 1 are great. Staff were really friendly and efficient!

    Had my second Bottomless Brunch today. Service was amazing. Food delicious. Cocktails beautiful. It's so lovely, would recommend it to everyone, particularly female groups / freinds. It's a beautiful oasis in Northampton town centre. Thank you to all the lovely staff x

    I was expecting the worse but was surprised just how good this place was. Great service, great food and a good selection of cocktails. Just minor comments, the floor was sticky reminded me of Forties on bridge street back in 90s and no virgin cocktails or non alcoholic lagers. 🤔 apart from this recommended.

    Absolutely fabulous 👌 Great service. Amazing cocktails. Amazing food (recommend risotto balls and chicken wings). Waitress was very welcoming and attentive. We were keen to make our first visit so delighted they extended bottomless brunch to accommodate us. Exta special with the free theatrical shots (birthday treat). Definitely recommend and will return 👌❤️

    For a new place this venue looks so run down. It’s dirty and not a nice place to eat/drink. Food was so expensive and was completely tasteless. Drinks were very expensive. The toilets were dirty and had no toilet roll. NO DISABLED TOILETS which caused issues for someone who was with us with disabilities. Unfortunately it was slow service and not very attentive. Will be telling everyone I know not to visit this place. Edited for reply: As mentioned the toilets were dirty, all out of toilet paper and clearly weren’t tended to. Unless you do not want disabled guests in your venue, which is discrimination, then I’m surprised you don’t offer disabled toilets. The booking was not under my name but as a visitor to the venue I thought I’d leave a review. We came in the start of June for a girls night out. It’s a shame because I honestly think with a few changes this place could be great. Hopefully best of luck for the future.

    We had bottomless brunch for the first time it’s definitely the best bottomless brunch we have had. The staff are really polite and helpful it’s really nice we loved the decor. The food and cocktails are just amazing 10/10 I would highly recommend the velvet room.

    First time going and will be the last. Very slow service throughout to 2 hour brunch. 6 people paying £35 for a bottomless brunch and having to flag down someone every time we needed new drinks, extremely slow service with us having 4 drinks each so was not worth the money for a bottomless brunch. On our last round of drinks we had found ants in our drinks which one person had to spit out as it went up their straw, when telling a member of staff they laughed in my face and found it extremely funny which I don’t find funny at all, a manager was then sent over to us who also seemed to find the situation funny and even made a joke of offering us a drink ‘ant free’ by the reactions of the staff it seemed to indicate they are aware of an ant issue and are not bothered by customers experiencing this. After talking to the manager who offered more drinks i requested the bill as we did not want any more due to any issue, all of us paid full price and as leaving the door was stopped by a member of staff as they assumed we had just got up and left without paying and questioned us loudly in front of other customers challenging as if we had not paid, this was extremely embarrassing as being young adults and people staring thinking we are just going to get up leave. Do not recommend and will not be returning.

    The food here is excellent and the staff go above and beyond to really look after you. The cocktails are lovely and not watered down like some places. I would definitely recommend, best brunch I've had in a long time

    I have been here twice for the bottomless brunch , both times we had around 20 people so a large crowd to look after and both experiences have been great. The staff are amazing, so friendly , efficient & quick on the cocktails…. They literally did not stop! Fantastic atmosphere , would definitely book for a large group again - highly recommend !

    Had a good end to an evening in The Velvet room, tried a few classic cocktails and a recommended cocktail as well. The bar staff were polite and accomodating, happy to engage in conversation with us. The ambience was a little dry but what can you expect from a Tuesday evening. Will come back.

    We absolutely love this place! The Sunday roast Tapas is fantastic and worth the money, but we found out you can upgrade the roast to a bottomless brunch! RECOMMEND! The staff are amazing, soo friendly and extremely helpful. Certainly give this place a go!!

    To begin with we were shown to our seats at 6:30pm and were welcomed with “you will have to be finished by 8:30.” 2 hour time slot was not even close enough, we managed to have 1 cocktail each and 1 lot of tapas as the service was so slow getting to us. When we did finally get asked if we wanted anything else we were told the waiting time for food would be too long for our time slot as there was a big group in that had all ordered before us. The cocktails were mediocre but the service was poor and made you feel as though they just wanted you in and as ASAP.

    Really great service the staff where really lovely and helpful. Food is great and the cocktails are a whole vibe. There aren't any accessible toilets for people that find it hard to use stairs. But pther than that i would definitely recommend trying the place for yourself

    Incompetent door staff; Feel the need to write a bad review which isn’t something necessarily in my nature purely due to the door staffs incompetence and lack of reasonable behaviour. After booking with a lovely lady over the phone, who assured a booking wouldn’t be required and informed us of the dress code, which we would naturally adhere to to the doorman was adamant upon refusing entry for some unspoken reason. We proceeded to inform him we had spoken to a lady over the phone who assured we would be fine to get it, after taking note of our name he told us that lady was no longer here, regardless of the fact we had provided no identifying details of this woman. Whilst denying our entry he was letting groups of people and other couples in which was hugely confusing to us, eventually we spoke to the manager who let us in and was very kind. The place is sweet, however the door man ( unsure of his name) is very unprofessional, unkind and has a very arrogant nature.

    Tapas was delicious! Recommend the jerk tenders! Staff friendly and lovely, recommend cocktails when you’re not sure what you fancy and they taste and look amazing! Can’t wait to go back!

    Great atmosphere and great food. There was a large amount of us. Booking was easy and the staff were friendly and helpful. The cocktails were great too. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Samantha N. 1 year ago on Google
    Celebrated a friend’s birthday here with the brunch menu. It was a two hour booking which included tapas and unlimited cocktails at a very reasonable price. Received great service from the staff, tapas was superb and the cocktails came think and fast. Very thoughtfully designed interior, wonderful atmosphere. Felt a bit weird staggering out into the town centre at 2pm but I only have myself to blame for that! Would definitely recommend a visit.
