   Disappointing Brunch Experience I rarely leave negative reviews, but this place earned it. The food was awful served cold and completely underwhelming. The “smashed” avocado tasted like mushy peas, and not in a good way. We ordered cocktails and were served mocktails .When we tried to clarify, the waitress (with pink hair) was incredibly rude and dismissive. Overall, it was a total waste of money. I won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a decent brunch.

   Wow…what a beautiful restaurant and we were so surprised to have lunch in the birdcage for my special 60th birthday. The lunch was delicious and my deaf friends really enjoyed it very much. Thank you so much

   Very experienced bottomless brunchers and never have we left sober until now. The alcohol options were very limited and dreadful. Worst prosecco ever. Made aldis feel like champers. Food presentation was not as advertised. This place is the perfect example of not believing what you see on social media. Very disappointed

   Great night, lovely food, the cauliflower steak was so tasty. My friend had salmon - cooked perfectly. The entertainment made it more than a meal but a proper night out.

   Hi, This was our first experience with Menagerie and unfortunately on this occasion it did not meet the hype that is shown on public platforms. We had our table dressed by the beautiful pretty parcels and expected to be there most of the evening, however with the service in general being very slow, missed items of orders including drinks and the entertainment being interment we decided to go elsewhere, yet we still paid the service charge. A little disappointed on this occasion.

   I absolutely love menagerie. It’s always my go to brunch place and so decided to take my friend for her birthday brunch. The staff there at this time was absolutely shocking. The lady serving us the drinks had an attitude for a reason we had no idea. Her mannerisms, the way she would put the drjnks on the table as if she was so ready to fight. Kept apologising to my friend because obviously I’d recommended this place and had spoken so highly of my past experiences

    We were booked in on a bottomless brunch and the service was extremely slow. We had to keep looking for our waiter to order more drinks. The drinks were also extremely sweet and filled with juice. Quite sickley after a few. They also had no Prosecco left which was disappointing. I was disappointment with today’s visit. I’ve been there before and it was so much better.
