The Courtyard Restaurant And Bar

Normally absolutely love coming here, spend £30 to £40 every week on drinks as it is round the corner. Take my dog every time and as it’s dog friendly it’s never a problem… until today. Went with my mam and we both took our dogs, had spend well over £40 on a snack and drinks between us and our dogs (shih tzus by the way) seen one of our friends and had a little bark, mind this had not been a problem all afternoon when staff and the manager gave them treats which in turn made them bark with excitement. Then a blonde girl who works there comes over and asks us to move outside as the dogs were ‘too loud’, it’s supposedly dog friendly and funnily enough dogs bark? However there was no tables outside so I didn’t get to finish my gin I had just bought which isn’t cheap! I’ve seen other dogs barking and going crazy before and nothing has been said but our dogs have a little bark and then we get asked to move! Not happy at all and wasted money on a drink I couldn’t drink. Normally have a lovely experience and the staff are normally amazing but this girl was not at all.

A friend and I turned up without a reservation but were able to get seated inside as it wasn’t too busy. The staff were lovely but unfortunately came out with the wrong food order for my friend, they later bought her the wrong drink too (hence the four star rating) it was all resolved, the young lady serving us was great and apologetic for the mix up. The food was really nice and plentiful, there were lots of vegetarian options, the place was clean and had a comfortable atmosphere. I would highly recommend and will be returning very soon as the jackfruit burger was really good!

Visited here on Tuesday 11th August and sat outside. The staff were extremely busy yet still very friendly and accommodating. The food was AMAZING and the burgers were the best we have had. We even got one to take out for our daughter in law. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this place

My husband and I visited this restaurant on Wednesday, June 15th with another couple. We ordered two pizzas, fish and chips, and a mixed platter of chicken and lamb gyros, followed by cheesecake. All of the meals were outstanding, and the service from Josh was fantastic. We had an absolutely brilliant experience and will definitely be returning.

I used to live nearby and it had been a few years since my last visit. After hiking the C2C trail all day, my friends and I decided to stop by the courtyard on our way home for a relaxing drink at teatime. However, we were disappointed to find that the courtyard was littered and unappealing. Despite our initial excitement, we couldn't ignore the numerous cigarette butts under every table. We ordered two pints of lager for £8.80, but couldn't enjoy them in such a dirty environment. As an ex-smoker, I am not blaming smokers, but rather the establishment for failing to clean and maintain their courtyard. It is their responsibility to keep the area presentable for customers. After seeing the state of the courtyard, I would not feel comfortable eating there and can only imagine the condition of the kitchen.
