    I sauntered into this establishment with my family friend and we’re greeted to a warm buzz of people and modern decor. I ordered the chefs special “chipotle” scampi as a starter. Although the word chipotle implies a spicy taste this dish was not at all, in fact the inverse as it was drenched in dressing. The family friend ordered Seafood Chowder. The portion size was generous but lacked flavour. She would have preferred more depth to the dish. I had the steak sandwich which was artfully prepared however it is not a sandwich as it lacks the top piece of bread. I think though that the dish was better for it as the amount of bread was just right. Steak was tender and chips were very good. Crisp fluffy in the middle. Overall 4/5.

    Myself and my wife had our reception at the Chelsea in the upstairs section. The food, drink, atmosphere, service and staff was fantastic! Everyone went out their way to make our evening perfect! Absolutely fantastic place!

    I don't get the round bar. The few times I've ventured in I've found a good atmosphere to be lacking. Food was great though. 2of the 3 staff that served us were very pleasant.

    Brilliant service. We are having our wedding here. Chris and James (managers) are absolutely amazing and couldn't do enough for us. We are so excited for the big day. Thanks guys x

    Not bad for a spot of Sunday lunch. Free glass of Prosecco if you get two courses. The cod was lovely!

    Impressed with this place. Really nice interior (quite unexpected from the understated exterior). The food was really tasty, we had a range of starters and all of them were really good. Nice attention to detail with the flavours. All the staff seemed lovely, friendly and attentive service. Atmosphere was buzzy, even on a late Monday afternoon I will be back :)

    Discovered by chance - remember eamonn omaille reviewing its arrival brightening the road - wonderful food and staff were so attentive

  • 3/5 M 2 years ago on Google
    The Staff are really friendly and the service was excellent, a really good pint of Guinness. Now the menu was poor very few vegetarian options, and the portions for the fish and chips was laughable, £15 for two small pieces of battered fish and a tiny pan with 12 chips in it. The food was quite good but the portions...lol.

    The Chelsea hosted my wedding reception and it was absolutely amazing. The Chelsea was helpful and friendly from start to end. They took care of us and all our guests on our special day. The food was amazing on the day. I would recommend them to anyone getting married in the future!

  • 3/5 Raymond G. 6 years ago on Google
    Staff are amazing but food ain't what I thought tbh for the price of no it . Why I give 3 stars is cuz the main dish I asked for no fat on steak literally it came out the opposite which put me off right away. Wouldn't recommend to anyone

    Main course was quite tasty. Dessert was disappointing.Expensive -£6 for 3 scoops of ordinary ice-cream-no rum flavoured jelly despite on the menu. Friendly and attentive staff.

    First time here for a graduation meal and the food and atmosphere was great. Plenty of food, service, and the place was great. I had vegetable soup, the burger and crumble and it was really tasty! All in all I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Brenda M. 2 years ago on Google
    The bean, tomatoes and roast pepper ragu goes so well with the sea bass. Very friendly and efficient staff.

  • 5/5 Glen D. 2 years ago on Google
    Honestly not my kind of bar however I cannot fault the place. The staff are attentive even though we were sitting outside on our own. The inside of the place is aesthetically pleasing especially the bar. Not a bad spot for a pint.
