Reviews Overview
Most Liked
A standout feature at Village Bar is its friendly and attentive staff, who never miss a chance to make visitors feel welcome. Guests rave about the fantastic value for money, getting delicious meals along with good drink selections at a reasonable price. The bar's pulse is undoubtedly enriched by its live music events that enhance the lively atmosphere.
The range of food options truly impresses patrons, whether it’s classic comfort food like steak pie or the fun bar snacks like French fries. Many guests highlight how exceptional the service is, often noting that their tables are ready even without prior booking. Families enjoy the relaxed vibe, making it a great spot for dinner.
Most Disliked
While Village Bar has many strengths, some guests express concerns about crowd levels, particularly during peak weekend hours. The busy atmosphere can feel overwhelming at times, especially on Saturdays when it hits full capacity.
Another note from visitors is the occasional wait time for food during these high traffic periods. Although the service is praised for being friendly, busy nights mean that it might take a bit longer to get your food, especially during dinner rushes. Planning visits during less crowded times, like weekday afternoons, might lead to a more leisurely dining experience.

Went out for a family dinner (4 of us) and pre-booked a table, as it was our first visit and we didn't know what to expect. The service was very friendly and welcoming. Great overall value for money and fast almost home cooked food. This will be the first visit of many to come. I'm sure..
