Platform 5

Great selection of beers is the first thing I noticed ,having not been in a pub venue for a while ,I went for a pepperoni ice cold lager found an empty seat and enjoyed my beer alone ,this venue could be very busy but there was a second level for eating and drinking, it was just afternoon I was there and I will use it again

Great place to be! Shows all the sports you want to watch. I asked to watched the American Football and within seconds the TV infront of me changed channel whilst the rest stayed on the football. Good selection of beers and prices were very reasonable. I will be back this week and have booked a table to get the best view for the game!

The food was quite satisfying. I tried the fish and chips as well as the Steak and ale pie, and they were surprisingly good for pre-made fast food options. The staff at the bar were friendly and accommodating. However, I did notice that the tables weren't as clean as I would have liked; they were a bit sticky, which was a minor downside. The atmosphere at Platform 5 didn't quite meet my expectations, hence the 3-star rating. It seemed more like a place to watch sports with a lively and noisy environment. If you're looking for a quiet spot to chat, this might not be the ideal choice. Overall, a decent spot for a quick bite, with good food and service, but it's more suited for sports enthusiasts than those seeking a relaxed dining experience.

UPDATE: I emailed as per their reply to this review and they honoured their promise of providing us with a full refund. To reflect their good will and customer service I have changed my original overall rating of 1 star to 4. Around 16:00-17:00 Monday, we (as a party of 3) waited over 15 minutes for our drinks to be served (plus an additional 5+ minutes for one who ordered a coffee). Then waited over 45 minutes for our food (1 bbq chicken and 1 sharing platter) to be served. There was no apology given for the delay, only a brief, ‘the plates will be hot.’ Which they were… and hotter than the food that carried them. Not sure as to why the service was so slow, the bar wasn’t empty nor heaving. We probably would’ve left if not having already prepaid via the app. Overall a disappointing experience. Won’t be back and wouldn’t recommend.
