"We recently provided a 5 star review on Trip Advisor, as the food was exceptional!! My wife particularly felt that the fish was the best she’d ever had. Due to this, we returned yesterday, where my wife again ordered the fish. What’s happened??? Different chef maybe??? She could have got a nicer fish from a back street chippy. It also said that it came with chunky chips, but this time it came with soggy wedges. Even the mushy peas were tasteless!!! What’s happened?"

"This steakhouse is truly incredible for those eating gluten-free. The kitchen is accredited by Coeliac UK and offers a wide selection of gluten-free menu options, including sticky toffee pudding. I will definitely be returning here again. The staff are very knowledgeable and make you feel comfortable."

"The second visit to Levanter. Pretty bad experience the first time a couple of years back where we found ourselves to be the only people in there one evening and had the waiters stood around impatiently wanting us to hurry and finish so they could close. Levanter seems to have a lot of hype around it, hence we gave it another chance (maybe it was just a one-off... er, no). We genuinely can't understand why the place is bigged up so much. We love Spanish tapas, which is why we tried it in the first place so we kind of knew what kind of dishes we would be getting. However, the menu was limited, the food itself, average, at best and the glasses of wine, tiny. The tables are really cramped together so it's far too crowded for a place of its size. I felt for the people who had booked the table right next to the toilet door. Furthermore, bizarrely, the food is carried from the kitchen, down the street and in through the front door. Maybe that's fine if you are sat in a tapas bar on La Rambla in July but not so much when it's a freezing January night with intermittent rain or hailstone. Price-wise, it wasn't too pricey but that would have only added insult to injury had the prices been sky-high. The young lady who serves us was pleasant but that was probably the best I can say for the place. We won't be giving Levanter a third chance."

"Went to go for food on a mid week evening, was not greeted by anyone. Found a table and when going to the bar to order, was told “we saw you come in and the table you’re sat at is reserved (there was nothing on the table to show it was reserved)” the condescending tone and approach by the young lad slumped behind the till (not even asking what I’d like to drink) was very off-putting when I was simply taking my mother out for dinner. We both agreed we will not be coming to the pack horse again having been coming here for a number of years. Very much negative impression of the team who clearly have no passion for keeping loyal customers. UPDATE Thank you for your reply Pack Horse Owner, it is clear to me that my review was not read properly as nothing related to what day we visited. Either your staff are behaving differently to you than when in front of customers or you’re oblivious to their behaviours. Also, dining in the conservatory was not offered, in fact the staff member behind the bar (sat on a stool) made no effort to even get up to locate a suitable table. The defensive tone of your reply tells me that you don’t see that anything needs improving despite me not being the only reviewer to point out the lack of customer service for the price point of your products/services. Your reply has made it very clear to me that the staff take the lead from the management in this instance."

"I’ve been to Drinc a few times for a coffee but I decided to try the breakfast this time. The poached egg and bacon roll I had was massive and hit the spot. My dad was also impressed with his scrambled eggs on toast; again the portion size was big and he couldn’t finish it. They also have poretti on draught here and the windows open up in the summer to give it a more open plan feel. Definitely worth a visit."
