We visited last night and can I just say what an amazing first visit it was!! The ladies all serving were melting rushed off their feet. But could not do enough for us!! Very accommodating to myself and my daughter fussy with pizza!! And switched toppings. Lots of smiles and apologies (which were not needed) we could see just how busy you all were!!! We heard a few customers moaning about waits etc. What do people expect on a beautiful hot Friday evening! Please pass on our thanks to the whole team. Wonderful service and delicious hot food on a very hot busy evening!! We will be back. Thanks again ????
Amazing beer garden with wood fired pizza oven. Good choice of food and generous portions as well. Good selection of bitters and lagers as well as spirits. The staff are wonderful, nothing too much to accommodate. We come here regularly and always get great food and service.......you can also visit the local Milk machine that is directly next door
Excellent! Very accommodating of us and all our dogs. Food was delicious and plentiful staff were attentive and friendly. Would definitely come again
Mezze, called in yesterday for lunch after hearing it had reopened. Such a lovely welcome. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and will most definitely return.
We called in to mezze on the way home from work today. The bar looks amazing and the menu is superb. My wife and I ended up ordering a few dishes to try and they were unbelievable. The owner is an absolute gentleman and couldn’t do enough for us. He even gave us some baklava to try which was the best I’ve ever tasted.
Can’t speak highly enough of this place and the owner.
We’ll definitely be making it a regular date night ( the kids menu looks brilliant too, pizza, nuggets, and traditional meals too).
100% recommend.
4 ladies at lunch went yesterday 1st day opening and we were treated very well. The service was very attentive, nothing was too much trouble (extra bread extra crispy chicken wings). The food was wonderful we chose the grand messe and we were not disappointed. The baklava was the best baklava we have ever had and we were very happy.
Had a really nice Sunday meal at The Farmers. Very nice staff who put the ladies football on the TV for our kids to watch. Food presentation and quality was above what I expected, and we'll go again if we are in the area.
Went there tonight and after reading the reviews regarding its re opening as the Mezze aka Farmers Arms.
Beer was good etc...food was to a good standard and tasty to be honest.
Now the nitty gritty, the portion size was really poor, had three courses and came away hungry. Trust me i don't eat a lot, im skinny etc...
The whole evening was spoilt by Ali who is either the Head waiter or owner chastising one of his staff in front of other customers because a mistake was made. I know Turkish culture is different to ours but berating your staff in public is not acceptable especially as he was only doing his job.
No idea who's fault it was but we were served another dessert. Then Ali then came over, never said a word and took it away, three to four minutes later. We felt very uncomfortable to be honest, didn't know where to look and will never return.
