Lunar

1. A great evening with fabulous surroundings. From the moment we entered we were made to feel welcome and were offered a private tour of the venue by the outstanding Felipe who gave us an insight into the heritage of the place and the story and uniqueness of the Lunar Society and what the companies ethos is about. Our food was great and the service and experience was first class. A must try for anyone thinking about going! Thank you to everyone involved.

2. Wedding anniversary meal for me and the wife.

   Had been told it was very good, so was expecting the food to match the anticipation.

   The staff are very pleasant and helpful with good knowledge of the dishes etc.

   We dined quite early at 7 pm, and the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy at this point.
   We ordered wine for our meal, this isn’t cheap but it’s not the place to go if you are on a budget.
   We had water supplied to the table, and the food order was taken in a reasonable time.
   I went for the mackerel for starter and the fillet steak for my main. My wife had chicken and ham hick terrine for starter and the duck for he main.
   All the food was very tasty, but some items in both of our main courses were slightly different from what was on the menu. I understand that the supply of fresh produce can vary, but we didn’t have anyone inform us of the changes. For example, my wife’s dish stated heritage carrots. But no carrots at all were on the dish.
   This isn’t going to be or be a reason to give a poor review, but when the restaurant is setting a standard. This is something that needs to be communicated.
   It didn’t spoil our meal, but it’s a pint worth noting.
   We both had a dessert, and we both enjoyed this. I had the caramel tart, it was not what I expected but very nice just the same. My wife had a panna cotta. Again, she enjoyed the dish.

   Once finished, we were offered the opportunity to see the secret lounge. This was a nice little bar tucked away at the back of the restaurant.
   We had a cocktail each before we left, it was not busy but again it was early.

   Things that we feel are not quite as good as other places we’ve been.

   The tawny, for example, offers you free bread and flavoured butter to the table whilst you wait for your meals. Lunar doesn’t.
   The scenery is not anything to look at. The restaurant is nice. But it still has the feel of an industrial place.

   It was enjoyable, and the food is good. But I’m not desperate to return as I feel I’ve had better experience elsewhere.

   Price wise, we spent over £200 for a three course meal with a bottle of wine and a cocktail each. I don’t mind that as long as you feel it’s worth it, it could have been better.

3. What an extraordinary find from all the staff. Craig, who we had the privilege to speak too was amazing . So knowledgeable. We will definitely return and would recommend this as an amazing place to visit. The secret garden is so relaxing and some amazing wines on offer . The whole experience was a great start to my wife’s 60 th Birthday 🎂. Just got to try this fantastic restaurant and bar it will blow you away 😀.

4. This was a birthday surprise from my daughter and what a fantastic afternoon we had, the food was out of this world cooked to perfection and full of flavour. We had the set Lunch menue and you had the choice of four dishes from the starter, main and dessert menue. The service was excellent and waiters very attentive to your needs. After our lunch we sat in the Secret Garden Room for a cocktail. Will definitely be returning.

5. Fantastic food. The sweetcorn soup of the day was gorgeous and the cod dish, excellent. Good portion sizes and the service was great.

   Such an interesting venue with sculptures and art all around plus the big moon in the middle.

   Would recommend and now with adjusted menu feel like we can more regularly.
