    The food was lovely, however the service was quite poor. The hostess seemed quite rude, the music was so incredibly loud and there was a long wait between the courses. The food was great but the service really let down the experience.

    We had a Virgin Experience voucher as a gift for a 3 course Sunday lunch. Velvet did not disappoint. The service we received was excellent, the food was just lovely and plentiful. The venue was very clean and tidy and looked great. I personally enjoyed the music they played as it is on my playlist, lots of old soul and R&B. All in all a great experience, I would highly recommend it and we will definitely return.

    Lovely restaurant but food was a bit disappointing. Expected a bit more than our local pub grub.

    I’ve found Velvet food and service a bit hit and miss in the past but last night was perfect. Thank you especially to the waitress that was doing a great job at serving all tables on her own.

    The food was lacklustre,the menu wasn't enough options,there were items missing and when small menu was difficult. Overall we thought the menu needed a revamp. The velvet has lost its way again. Very quiet and food was very average . Staff were nice thou 👌
