Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Amazing service. The English blonde waitress was lovely and really chatty about her love for Everton. Would come back just to enjoy her rapid service and football chat. Up the toffees.

Went there for a pre dinner birthday drink. Ordered cocktails and a beer. IPA was OK, cocktails very nice. But it took faaaaaar tooooo long to be served them. Waitress was apologetic, saying they were busy (which wasn't the case), but I suspect they were...short staffed. Nice environment and staff. Hopefully speed of service improves as the world returns to a better normal.More

I regularly stop in for both a morning coffee and treat. The cheesy puffs are stunning. Another favourite for me is Calamari, and theirs must be one of the best I’ve had. Not the standard frozen stuff some places try to pass off, is worth...stopping for it in its self. Also a little inside tip for you......they have private parking for clients out the back, so you’re not stuck spending time and money looking for parking. Enjoy - i certainly always do... See there again soon!!More

Pasta and ribs were great, however the lamb shoulder was dry and flavourless. The platter that I ordered was fine however the potato wedge skins had black spots on them, not only were they there but they were huge. Now I know you can't die...from them and you can eat them but they were quite big and I found them on 3 of the 6 wedges I had. I addressed this with the waiter who brushed it off. I addressed it again with the same waiter JAMES who said he'd pass it onto the chefs. I then raised a third time to which he said he raised it with his manager. When I went to pay for my meal the manager had not heard about anything that was discussed with the waiter. The manager tried to remain mutual as they believed there were two differing stories. Now I respect retail/hospitality staff because I've been in that position. But to receive such unprofessional service was appalling. No only that but the manager refused to agree with the black spots that I found on my potatoes. It was too late as the plate had been taken away however I have photos of those black spots and I doubt anyone let alone the manager herself would've have eaten them since she agreed that they were always like that and that she eats them. Not a very good experience both from the waiter and manager. Hit and miss, with food because the ribs and pasta were good but overall experience I WOULD NOT GO BACK. They could not take constructive criticism to improve their business but if thats how they want to operate, let them be.More

We enjoyed the food - service was a bit haphazard, the waitress brought us the wrong bottle of wine. Really recommend the ribs, they are excellent. Just disapointing that they allow smoking in the covered outdoor area and when we questioned it were defensive. I...think they should review this policy as there were far more people not smoking than the 2 that were.More

We have been to the Longroom before for dinner and the food has been reasonably good, especially the duck liver parfait but tonight we actually only finished one of the small plate meals. We actually sent back the arancini because it was bland and tasteless...only to be brought back chili squid which was so bad in taste and texture that we ate one piece each and that was it. Not only that but we didn't finish the duck liver parfait either because it was basically solid and had no real flavour. Probably important to note that we have actually never sent back anything before - and we love well-cooked squid. The only good thing was the service - the waiter was apologetic and happy to help us out but then the manager never apologised or acknowledged our complaint when we paid.More
