"I made a reservation two weeks in advance for Mother's Day and went with a picky eater who wanted to see the menu beforehand. When I called to inquire about the menu, I was assured that there was no special menu and what was shown on the website was correct. However, upon arrival, we were given a special menu with no vegetarian options and all items were double the price of the regular menu. The food was good once it arrived, but the service was terrible. We were seated in a separate room and waited 20 minutes for a menu, which I had to seek out from the waitress. We finally received menus for 4 people, but no drinks menu. After another long wait, I had to locate the waitress again to inquire about wine options. The service continued to be slow and disorganized throughout the meal. When we were ready to pay, there was no one available to assist until I approached the kitchen. The waitress seemed distracted and took a long time to process the bill. If it weren't for my elderly mother, I would have left earlier. Despite the good quality of the food, I would not return or recommend this restaurant until their service improves significantly. If you're looking for a place to simply grab a drink at the bar, this might be a better option."

"on 07.10.2017 we went as a family. we were immediately set by very friendly staff. the place was very busy, but our drink order was immediately removed after we had received our drinks, our food order was accepted. they didn't have to wait long, even though they were really busy. when the food came, it was hot and looked nicely presented, it was beautiful has nothing bad to say. I would not hesitate to recommend to any of my friends or family."

"Four of us dropped in unplanned and unbooked on Friday evening and what a great chance encounter. The owner met us at the bar and when we said we didn't have a reservation he said he had on spare table and was really friendly and welcoming. It was a bit odd at first as there was a local band on (Electric Sheep and they were excellent) but the place is very much set up for dining. Once I got over this and we ordered food we all had an absolutely brilliant evening. The food was good and reasonably priced. Lovely old pub with a lot of character (and characters) and the evenings entertainment was fabulous. First time visiting but will definitely look out for more band nights as this was the best night out in quite a while. Big thanks to the manager and all the staff for making room for us and making us feel welcomed."

"Food was lovely as always and staff are very friendly. But there was a large party in, and it was very very noisy along with the very loud music it was unbearable to sit in there. people were walking in for a table and walking out again because of the noise. They lost a lot of customers because of this . I think this party should have been upstairs to make as much noise as they liked but it disturbed all the other customers I mentioned it when I paid and was told there was nothing they can do about it Yes you can there's a upstairs, put noisy party's up there instead of in the middle of the restaurant disturbing people while they eat."

"My wife I visited the restaurant a few days ago for my 70th birthday. It was our first visit we decided to try it after seeing a glowing review in the Evening Gazette. We weren't disappointed! Drink wise I had 2 large Cabernet Sauvignon red wines my wife, the driver, stuck to diet cokes. There were some special offers available on the night we visited (Tuesday) but we decided, as it was a special occasion, to opt for the normal menu. I chose the moules marinieres starter the 10oz sirloin steak main, with black pepper sauce and my wife opted for the garlic mushroom starter the rack of lamb main. We both chose chunky chips with our main meal. In short, everything was fabulous! The food was hot arrived in an acceptable length of time. My wife adored her meal, stating she would definitely choose the lamb again, my steak was cooked to perfection. Only problem was that the chunky chips were so gorgeous that I wouldn't leave any so left no room in my stomach for a desert! So my wife had a sticky toffee pudding, I finished with a coffee. The bill when it came, at £65 total was less than I expected for such a quality meal, so I tipped more than I normally would. I'm not saying that we always pay £65 every time we eat out (which we do often) but this was a special occasion we didn't stint! We will certainly return here so next time we may try the special menu £15 for two courses. The point I'm making is that there is that choice there to tailor your bill to suit! And I'm sure the special menu will taste as good as the normal one! And I'm not forgetting the service. We were treated with grace attentiveness, and with hardly any time to wait between courses. So yes I am happy to give Portals Place a 5 star review most certainly we will be back!"
