    We visited with good friends, the atmosphere was perfect for us to be able to have a good catch up. The food was delicious, we had the Sunday Roast. Drinks were good and we will definitely return.

    The food was lovely, however the service was quite poor. The hostess seemed quite rude, the music was so incredibly loud and there was a long wait between the courses. The food was great but the service really let down the experience.

    We had a Virgin Experience voucher as a gift for a 3 course Sunday lunch. Velvet did not disappoint. The service we received was excellent, the food was just lovely and plentiful. The venue was very clean and tidy and looked great. I personally enjoyed the music they played as it is on my playlist, lots of old soul and R&B. All in all a great experience, I would highly recommend it and we will definitely return.

    Lovely restaurant but food was a bit disappointing. Expected a bit more than our local pub grub.

    I’ve found Velvet food and service a bit hit and miss in the past but last night was perfect. Thank you especially to the waitress that was doing a great job at serving all tables on her own.
