"We've been here a couple of times before and it's been great, however our latest visit was not a great experience. Portions were small, presentation wasn't anything special, looked like meals I could of in nocked up myself as a quick tea at home, nothing special at all, certainly didn't look like a restaurant dining experience. Also, never come across a restaurant that stipulates on the menu if you want steak they need 48 hours notice! And even if they do, they should tell people when they book in as we had 2 of our party very disappointed on the night. The whole dining experience was also ruined by a group of loud, drunk locals sitting in the dining area and talking and swearing at the top of their voices so we couldn't even hear ourselves having a conversation. If people have paid for a dining experience no matter how bad that was, they should not have to put up with a table full of loud, swearing locals who were just there for the drink, keep the two things separate! Really dark and dingy in the restaurant, we struggled to read the menu due to how badly lit it was. The waitress started the evening by telling us what wasn't available off the menu, which in itself seemed odd at the beginning of the weekend to of already run out of so much. Needless to say this one bad experience overshadows previous good ones, it looks like the place has gone down hill, we won't be back! Must say though this is by no means a reflection of the staff they were lovely, it's on the owners!"

"This delightful restaurant is conveniently situated at the entrance of Springfield Outlet Shopping Centre and is hard to miss, especially if you intend to spend a day or a few hours shopping. The Kitchen is a privately owned, family-run establishment that operates throughout the day from 11:00 am on Sundays through Wednesdays and extends its hours for dinner service on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. They take pride in offering a variety of delectable pub classics. Their menu boasts mouthwatering, homemade beer-battered fish and chips, grilled dishes, crisp salads, sandwiches, daily specials, delectable Sunday roasts, afternoon teas, and a dedicated children's menu. I went for the Black Blue burger which was a Cajun spiced, handmade burger topped with Stilton cheese, red onion, tomato and mixed salad leaves served with chips. My friend went for the Mexican which was Handmade burger with house chilli and sour cream with red onion, tomato and mixed salad leaves. Both burgers were served fresh and arrived promptly within five minutes of ordering. They were exceptionally delicious, bursting with an array of flavors. The portion sizes were generous and satisfying. The staff demonstrated remarkable friendliness and expertise, showcasing exceptional customer service skills. We opted to dine outdoors, and the alfresco areas were meticulously maintained by attentive staff, ensuring a pristine environment throughout our meal. A new favourite for me I will be sure to return again soon."

"Had a look through some of the lesser positive feedbacks and have to chuckle. Went there for lunch today. It's often very busy and you can't always get a table. The reason a place is busy is because it's good. No one queues for rubbish. Managed to get a table straightaway 11.48) . Pleasantly greeted and pointed to the table. How many places actually take your order nowadays. So refreshing. Order taken and a few minutes later our drinks arrived. No reading a menuboard under pressure. No stacking food on trays like a juggling act, sliding along a rail. No waiting for your drink while your dinner is slowly going cold only to find the person in front has ordered three frappecappychismolatteamerocanos with choc sprinkles and spacedust! I ordered the ploughman's. Three decent chunks of cheese, half baguette, apple, salad, pork pie slice, Coleslaw homemade) chutney, grapes, pickled onions and celery. All excellent except celery, which is spawn of the devil in my opinion) I love a ploughman's and this is right up there with the best. I wanted to try their cake but was too full, so we took a slice home for later. Malteser cake was lovely and obviously home made one slice more than enough for two unless you need your clothes to fit you better) Didn't need an evening meal I hasten to add. Great service, home made food, very reasonably priced. What else do you want? Thoroughly enjoyed it. Very rare nowadays . Thank you."
