The opening times on Google say that it would be open for lunch today (Wednesday). We arrived at 13:15, but it was closed.

Had a fantastic meal for family birthday, party of 17. Food was lovely, they were very accommodating for everyone’s requirements and let us take a cake & table decorations too. Vinchenso our waiter was very attentive, gave us a real personal feel to add to this great celebration. Thank

Pretty, very much below average. Absolutely not worth the money you’re expected to pay. How is this place still in business?

We ate here on a Saturday evening a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the excellent food and service. My mate had prawns for starter.... his wife had calamari.. I had prawns so did my wife. All very nice! For the main course my wife had the fish which was excellent & I had the sirloin....a good size, beautiful, tender and full of flavour ..never had better!!Our friends both had the Fillet Steak which they both raved about. Too full for desert so nice coffees and liqueurs.Based on our experience.... we would really recommend a visit.Thank you Francos for a very nice evening!!!!!!Vegetarian options: All GoodDietary restrictions: plenty of choiceParking: all good

Walked in here with the family at 6.05pm Thursday 19th October 2023, asked if they had a table, it was empty except for one guy drinking beer at the bar. The guy behind the bar just said "we don't open until 6"...nothing else. Clearly didnt even want to acknowledge us.It's pretty obvious why this place is nearly always empty when I walk by whether in the week or the weekend.Amazed it has lasted as long as it has.

13 of us visited on a Saturday evening. Despite being a large group ranging in age from 19 to 91, we were very well catered for. The menu was wide ranging and all items we requested were in stock. Thank you to our waiter Vincenzo who looked after us during the evening.

Bad service, poor quality food, and not enough space to sit comfortably. Will not be going back.Ordered a pizza with an extra topping and was served a pasta dish which was taken back and we both had to wait while the correct order was prepared before we could eat. When the pizza arrive it was burnt and missing the extra topping.Because there are too many tables crammed into the venue we could not site opposite each other.This was on a week night when it was not busy.

The restaurant interior was tacky and clichéd. Plastic wipeable placemats, small salt and white pepper cruets. No ice in my OJ and lemonade or my friends apple juice. Steak unseasoned and overcooked, saute potatoes from the freezer, veg from freezer, all unseasoned, bland, pepper sauce couldn't taste beef stock cream brandy peppercorns, really weak, my friend had a salmon fettuccine with no actual salmon. My other friend had pizza which was not bad, quite tasty. I eat all of my steak because I was hungry and it was a special birthday lunch and I didn't want to cause a fuss.ver

Had a very enjoyable dinner at Francos this evening. Food was great and the service was very attentive. We’ve been coming here for nearly 20 years and it’s good to see that while the restaurant has been updated it still retains the original charm and passion. Highly recommended.

Had a great meal at Francos this evening. The food was excellent and the service was very attentive. We’ve been using this restaurant for nearly 20 years and it’s good to see that while the building has been nicely updated it still retains the original charm and passion. Highly recommended.

We have been going to Franco's for years, tonight was the worse meal we have ever had there . Complained and they reduced the bill by £10 from a £90 bill the starter was fine the rest terrible should have looked after your customers better.
