    So first of all we was served a glass of wine with lipstick on the glass asked for a fresh one all she did was pour the wine from one glass to another although the drink was served in a dirty glass. Lead to the table. Table was dirty - one of my guests asked a member of staff to wipe the table he still didn’t wipe it still. Food was luke warm at best, said meals were served with stuffing, no stuffing on all 4 of our plates. Service non existent, food substandard near on cold just about edible and not even all the meal was there. And to add the hygiene standards of this place are terrible. If you only want to spend £10 a person for a roast and drinks then by all means eat here, but be prepared for some of your meal missing, it being cold and to eat at dirty tables and drink out of dirty glasses. Will not return.

    It was shut because of a liciencing issue. How can you confirm a table when the premise is closed down.?

    We had a surprisingly great sunday lunch on a groupon voucher. After reading some bad reviews we were open minded but the food was outstanding. Everything was homemade even the cheesecake! Well done Command House - you deserve it.

    I've had a fair few drinks at the command but never eaten there so I was looking forward to trying the food! However this did not happen as we booked a table for 7pm on Sunday and the booking was accepted! We arrived 20mims late after struggling to find a taxi to find the command was closed. We had only booked the table 40-50mims before arriving so why they where accepting booking I don't know. If was a wasted journey tho. Even if we weren't 20mins late that wouldn't have been long enough to order and eat out food. So would they have kicked us out half way through our meal? I won't bother again, ended up in wetherspoons as normal.

    Absolutely shocked to arrive and be told no alcohol was available due to loss of licence. Food was good at least. Needs a proper revamp as looks so dull and dirty now. Felt very sorry for the young lad serving us as he took all the blunt... unfair on his behalf as not his fault. Wont be going back due to cleanliness needs a good clean up.

    Absolutely shocking customer service.....we arrived for our booked table to be met by a miserable waitress slumped against the bar....said we had a table and was given a dirty table, which the waitress said she would come and clean and give us cutterly etc ......never got done, didn't even get given a menu.....got menus myself sat there for ages then had to ask at bar if we could be served, had been sitting at dirty table for half hour not one person came to us to even get us a drink! Finally got service no beers as they had a busy night before as we was repeatedly got told....the food was nice can't fault that but we won't be coming back as the staff just don't care there too young......we had to ask to have desserts, we wasn't checked on at all.....we wasn't the only complaining either everyone around us had something to say!
