We, a party of four, use the Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf, regularly for pre-theatre dining and it never disappoints. The menu and the wine list are broad enough to provide variety without being overwhelming and are reasonably priced. The quality of the food is excellent and the staff are outstanding - always pleasant and helpful. Wouldn’t eat anywhere else.

Food was great. Staff were friendly but the service was very slow. Our wine even arrived after we had finished our meal. There were only two wait staff on and this clearly was not enough for a busy night.
