    First time dining at Velvet Sparrow and I will certainly be back. Loved the vibe about the place. Food was amazing and staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was genuinely outstanding and didn't burn a hole in my wallet either. I live local and will definitely be back soon again. Would recommend to anyone looking for a proper lovely meal and drinks. Place was perfect to be honest. Thanks guys.

    Lovely dinner out to quietly celebrate a birthday. Food was very nice. We had a Curried lLeek soup and Tempura Prawns to start followed by Velvet Sparrow Burger and Chicken Supreme. All food was tasty and hot. There was a slight delay but the servers were very good and kept us informed. Wine was good and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

    Lovely venue . A bit warm upstairs but it was a hot day but could do without the fruit flies they were so annoying when trying to eat. Service a bit slow but waitresses gave her apologies and explained it was so busy which it was . Food was great as was the cocktails. I would definitely return. Pity they don't have a licence for alcohol outside the seating area

    I have eaten here many times, but yesterday was awful. Both had fish n chips. Chips were hard dry and overdone, looked like reheats. Fish was soggy and greasy, mushy peas were like defrosted peas that had been slightly mashed floating in look warm water. This venue is most certainly taken off list of future venues I will eat at. We were the only people eating in restaurant so no excuse. Very sad I had previously raves about this venue, but not again.

    Found this place by chance. Was looking at deals on wowcher and seen this place was on there on an offer. I bought the offer for 2 courses for 3 people for £35 with a pint or glass of house wine. Thought it was an excellent price. 👌 I booked online but somehow managed to only book for 2 so I called up the restaurant to see if they could change it to 3 and the boy I spoke to was lovely and said that they would juggle a few things around to accommodate us. Me, my partner and my daughter went along and were greeted at the door with another pleasant boy and seated at our table. We were each served a glass water and asked what menu we were dining from. We were given the menu for the deal and were amazed at the choice available on a set menu, there was something for every taste/diet of which you could even further adjust some dishes. ie. have duck or veg spring rolls, add chicken or prawn to the already delicious sounding curry. Another server came over to take our drinks order and she was also lovely. Chatty and polite. Our drinks arrived quickly, a pint of Grolsch, a house red wine and a draught cola. The house wine was very pleasant. We then ordered our food, starters was the tomato and basil bruschetta, haggis bon bons with whiskey cream and salt and chilli chicken. Each dish was delish and well presented 👌. For mains 2 of us opted for the fish and chips after seeing this arrive at the table next to us. The fish was cooked perfectly and batter was so light and crispy. The other main ordered was the bacon cheeseburger, which looked juicy and perfectly cooked. All in all, we had a lovely meal, food was excellent as was the service. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely too with a good choice of music playing in the background. For the price we paid on the deal, the food and drinks, service and restaurant overall, this was an absolute steal! Glad I came across this place and we will definitely be returning. Thanks to all the staff.

    Lovely friendly and efficient waiter. Maybe not the biggest of menu’s but a tasty selection that should meet most needs and gives the assurance it is freshly cooked. Tasted delicious. The venue is on different levels, only a table for 4 this time but the spaces work well for larger parties.

    Ate here a couple of times as it's local, staff are very friendly and can't do enough. The food is a little slow in coming out, not sure if there is only 1 chef. Food is really tasty and the restaurant is lovely and chilled.
