We booked our table very early at 11:45 and we're the first ones in so could see the interiors and how they are laid out. Service was excellent, we had the festive tasting menu for 2, there was so much food, we struggled to get through it and left some. We took our puddings away in a box. Be prepared excludig alcohol to pay £75 - £100 per head for an epic experience. Would definitely go back. I took my daughter for her birthday as she wanted to go and it was fantastic.

The best meal we ever had. The service was excellent. The quality, quantity and values were exceptional. My kids said it was the best meal they have ever had and already requested to come back soon. We had few starter plates and few sticks and tried the salmon and duck buns. Not to mention the amazing s’mores dessert which was the cherry on top of the cake as my daughter described

Fabulous meal at Shack Fuyu. Explained we needed to be at the theatre by 7 and the service was quick and friendly. We had the tasting menu and most of the dishes were excellent, and there were a lot of dishes! Highly recommend but make sure you book, as it was pretty busy.

Went to Sticks n sushi for our team xmas meal and it did not disappoint. Delicious food with an impressive choice, beautifully presented. Attentive service. Yummy cocktails. Only 1 teeny inprovement suggestion....It would help if waiting staff said what each item on a mixed tray was more slowly as it was difficult to hear with both the speed and background noise.
