Good service but waited over 1hour for our meal that was very disappointing with the size when it finally arrived

Thank you for taking the time to review The Saucy Chef. We are happy to hear that the service you had was good but we understand that a waiting time of over an hour is totally unacceptable. We have spoken with the kitchen staff to ensure that this sort of waiting time is minimised and doesn't happen again.

Went to the saucy chef to celebrate a birthday with a group of 6, had a very warm welcome at the door and was seated at a more secluded table (which is what we all prefered). Service was amazing and wasn’t lacking in any way even though we were seated away from everyone. Food was delicious and came very quickly considering it was a very busy night. Staff were happy for us to bring our own cake and even added candles and sung happy birthday. Overall the service and food was amazing and definitely will be back

We've never been here before but from the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted warmly. The food was absolutely devine!!! We had the pull apart loaf and it was SO FRESH!. My chicken pasta was so full of flavour and chicken pieces. I have not had a pasta so creamy and well seasoned in a really long time!! The decor was super cozy, very warm and tasteful. I give this place a very high recommendation!

Great restaurant, with attentive staff. Great for family and friend gatherings - lighting was a little dim/dark but the experience was great nevertheless.

We went as a family to celebrate a birthday, we ordered a whole loaf it was crunchy on the outside and cold on the inside and out of three stake meals only one was cooked the right way they need to learn what is a medium well and medium rare is so that was very disappointing service wasn't that great either
