    It’s always a pleasurable experience eating at Dem Shish, we especially enjoy the music by Paul Watson on a Wednesday. The staff are always very friendly and helpful and the food is always great

    We went for a bottomless brunch. I am vegan and found the food really tasty and there was a few different options for me. The other girls on the table really enjoyed the food too. Good service and would definitely go back again.

    We booked for the bottomless prosecco lunch. I wasn't aware that the bottomless prosecco lunch was a set menu with choice but hey they had as a choice what I wanted anyway so all fine. Food was cooked well and very enjoyable. Prosecco was kept topped up which was good so no complaints. We had a 3pm slot which was sooo quiet just 6 others in whole restaurant. So if you want a quiet lunch and a relaxing end to the week then this would have suited you.

    Lovely food and restaurant but we felt uncomfortable having staff standing right by us staring for most of the meal. Items were collected even when we had literally just finished or still eating. Service charge was added to bill so we were told what we had to pay.
