    Mijn reservering werd met een uur verschoven wat ons niet echt uit kwam. Het water/glas rook naar chloor. Na anderhalfuur werd gevraagd of we konden afrekenen maar we hadden nog niet alles van het arrangement ontvangen (dessert). Na het desert net te hebben verorberd werd ons meteen gevraagd of we plaats wilden maken voor andere gasten.

    Good value for money. Took long to get our drinks out. We had to chase our drinks a few times before they were given. The selection of the food was a lot which was amazing.

    Food disappointing on this occasion. Chicken BBQ and pork BBQ very salty and played really loud music which made it difficult to have a conversation.

    Kintan BBQ was great. Service brilliant and attentive. Very professional and polite and do a great experience from start to finish! Will definitely be returning. Only downside was we didn't book for the happy hour deals! Would've given a 5* all round!

    The food is really tasty. The menus are a little confusing but once you work if out, it’s fine and the food was pretty good value.

    The food was overall good but the service felt a bit like we were neglected. We asked for water which was forgotten by 3 different waiters and eventually came, one glass at a time. Our grill was very low heat at the start. Then when we asked to increase the heat, the grill started having issues and would turn off by itself. This happened 3 times. We weren't offered any form of compensation. We booked for 8:15 and were seated at around 8:40. We finished around 10:40 due to the grill issues slowing our grilling time.

    Appalling Experience I recently visited this restaurant, and it was an absolute disaster from start to finish. Here's a breakdown of my experience: 1. Cleanliness Issues: The table was filthy when we arrived, and I had to ask for it to be cleaned. Both the plates and glasses were dirty, which is unacceptable. 2. Limited Beverage Options: They only had tap water available—no sparkling or bottled water—which I found very strange for a restaurant. 3. Poor Service: We had to repeatedly ask for basic necessities like water and cutlery. The staff seemed inattentive and unorganized. 4. Under Construction: The dining room was under construction, offering limited seating options in a shabby setting. This should have been disclosed before booking. 5. Heating Issues: The heating was unbearably high, and when we asked for it to be adjusted, we were told it couldn’t be turned down due to the “new” tables—though they certainly didn’t look new. 6. Overcharging: The billing process was appalling. We ordered a menu for two but were charged for each item individually, inflating the bill from £70 to nearly £200. To make matters worse, additional items we didn’t order were added to the bill, and I had to insist on a correction. Having visited this place several times before, I can confidently say this was the worst experience I’ve ever had. I won’t be returning, and I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone.
