    We love Galu. Food and service are excellent. Only thing I don’t like that much is the acoustics. When it’s very busy and music is on it becomes difficult to hear each other. Maybe that’s just my ears :-)

    The guys at Galu really look after us when we spend the evening there. Personal service means a lot. We feel looked after and valued. You do not get that everywhere. The food was also fantastic and at the right price. We look forward to going back in the New Year!

    I had not been to Galu for approximately 10 years and was so disappointed in how downhill the food had gone. The jus with the pork belly was gravy granules!!!! The pork belly was over cooked as was the bacon on the scallops starter. Such a shame. When you pay premium prices on a Monday eve you expect premium food

    Had an early (5.30pm) booking so place was empty when we started and pretty rammed when we finished, on a Tuesday! Drinks were served quickly, tap water was being topped up but they eventually put a bottle on the table as we had a lot. Was half price on steaks which included the tomahawk so we went for that; a beautiful steak, so filling we couldn’t finish and had to take a doggy bag! Only downside I would say is they charge £5 for green beans which are maximum 10 basic beans each with no seasoning/sauce/anything to upgrade them

    My wife and I visited Galu on Friday evening after an absence of many years. The welcome we received was warm and friendly and the service was very attentive in spite of the restaurant being very busy. The food was as good as we remembered it being and the portions large enough to need a 'doggy bag' to take home. Apart from a slight hiccup over the bill (quickly remedied) it was an enjoyable evening and we will not leave it so long before we return.

    Have not been to Galu for some time but have forgotten how wonderful the food, atmosphere and service is. Tuesday is half price steak night and was certainly very busy but that did not detract from the service or the food. Great to see a busy restaurant (almost full) on a Tuesday evening - speaks volumes itself - no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

    Friday night - 4 of us had a great evening, food was great, service was excellent, super friendly staff and we had a variety of people checking in, that we had all we wanted - bit it got very noisy as it was a busy night and the music was loud and quite heavy, so we were shouting to talk and it became hard work in the end - would definitely recommend, but the noise level was high.
