Paddock Bar

So tired of the lacklustre lunchtime service at this bar. Ordered a lemon lime and bitters which took ages to make and was made with bitters, a squeeze of lemon, a chunk of lemon, lemon juice and soda, so was actually a lemon lemon and bitters, making it a not great drink..and a salad with pieces of rocket that were actually dark green and slimy. Last time I was there I got given something I hadn’t ordered. Another time the bartender/ waiter shouted across the empty room that my drinks were ready...this all mainly seems to stem from wait staff who are completely uninterested in their job. Pity it’s the closest to work, or I would stop putting myself through it.

Haven't been there in a while as the service was terrible! Went to watch the Rugby tonight, only a few people in, served a dark beer in a brandy glass???? Had a pizza that was inedible, really, only one other meal served ,fries.... Took 1/2 hour at least for someone to clear the table and ask if we finished with the pizza, I complained, was then offered a free drink hardly free when I had already paid for an inedible pizza!!! 3 staff on a chef chatting behind the bar, I don't understand this situation, it's a lovely spot, could be great place......

Went there to catch up with friends and have a nice coldie. We were there at the same time as the FOMO Music Festival, which spoiled it slightly as we could not really speak over the noise of the Festival. Don't want to let this spoil the review because obviously this was out of their control. Liked the atmosphere. Loved the huge open windows that allowed for easy "people gazing". Beer was cold, service was friendly. What more can you expect?

Location was convenient for a drink and meal before heading into a show at The Tivoli. Basic pub menu - American style food (complete with the processed cheese). Ordered a chicken pizza and loaded fries. Two very hungry people and we found the pizza to be the absolute worst pizza we have ever tasted. God knows what the “cheese” concoction was. Hubby ate a couple of slices out of desperation. I took two bites and couldn’t stomach anymore. Thought of staying for another drink, just to pass the time before show but the singer was so loud and awful we decided that it was preferable to stand in the line to await doors to open at The Tivoli. Such a shame as the location is fabulous and the fairy-lights decked tree outside is beautiful. But the food and entertainment was enough to send us packing.
