Nice venue , shop , restaurant, showers toilets, all clean and modern.Staff very friendly and helpful.Restaurant is very smart with a hot rod/Americana theme , anyone that remembers the custom car magazine of the 70 s 80 s will appreciate a visit ( makes a change to have a nice place for drivers )Thanks to all concerned !!!

Our first time and it has the wow factor as you walk in so many things to see and so many cars etc lovely displays on every wall and good music too, staff were friendly and helpful and gave us time before ordering I went for a strawberry milkshake and the brisket cheesesteak and my partner went for the banana milkshake and the brisket lasagne we both went for tata tots the milkshakes where excellent very tasty and thick. My brisket cheesesteak was excellent and the tata tots was amazing too my partner meal was the same no complaints from here, we finished our meal with a biscoff knickerbocker it's was very tasty and wonderful, overall great experience think we will be back again

Wow Wow Wow what an amazing restaurant to visit. We had the V-ATE burger and it was one of the BEST burgers we have ever had ??. Excellent service and very friendly staff. Highly recommend V-ATE Smokehouse?. We will be back. Thank you.

I've been wanting to come here for a while now and finally got the opportunity to go!We were seated in the yellow car and it was a fab experience! The decor of this place is just amazing!The staff were great and really accommodating.The only down side is I wish there was more options on the menu, most things were spicy which I can't tolerate, hence the chef having to do me something more specialised - which I was hugely grateful for!!I wouldn't want to be there when the place is full and all bowling alleys occupied as I imagine you wouldn't be able to hear each other speak. But without it happening I don't know.Shame the site owners won't allow space for car meets here as they'd be a huge success!Next time I definitely want to sit in the truck! So will be returning :)

Wonderful experience today at V-ATE. Will definitely be returning. Especially with a car loving toddler. The small touches like the fidget toy for the little man was amazing. Very friendly staff who look genuinely happy to be there. Had to wait a little for the food but we were informed and drinks were offered so it wasn't a problem at all.

Amazing restaurant with great food and super friendly staff. Would 100% recommend visiting if you're in the area.Great for both kids and adults.Best customer service we've received in a long time. And even my super picky 3 year old loved the food and atmosphere.

This is a pretty fun venue with tasty food. Staff were really friendly and the service was great. The only thing to bear in mind is that the venue is relatively small, so the choice of table may be limited - especially on a Friday! The seating is really unique and fun, and the decor matches perfectly. The only thing we didn't like was the three-seater table - while fun, sitting in a line looking out did make conversation a little difficult! I also didn't see any specifically accessible seating for wheelchair users, but I didn't ask.

Great family dining experience, lovely fresh food with proper meat, nice staff, great decor and a mini bowling alley. What's not to like? Please support these guys instead of the international fast food outlets on this junction ?

Beautiful place & absolutely wonderful staff. The food is absolutely to die for and with the addition of bowling it is truly a lovely place to go. Been here two years running for my birthday and they’ve always gone above and beyond to make it special. Cannot thank them enough. Highly recommend if you’re travelling or for special occasions. (The twister cocktail is STUNNING)
The staff are very friendly & helpful, The food is good, I would recommend giving them a visit if you are passing by .

First visit en route to a holiday, but will definitely be back. Bowling is a great option to keep kids (& adults) entertained and the atmosphere was great. More than reasonable priced I would say. Really good service with a smile, in particular the host that greeted us (manager?)Dietary restrictions: Food was really tasty, absilitelt stuffed afterwards. Good vegan options and changing the kids options was no fuss too which is always a good thing.

This place was something else, have to see it to believe it.Free game of Bowling if you pre-book your table and the food is really nice. Definitely get the milkshake, you can't miss them.Vegetarian options: There was enough for my veggies to get and they liked it too.

A unique dining experience that's very handy on a long drive. A little bonkers, but what's wrong with that?!Thoroughly enjoyed our food and really good service too.

Friendly and helpful staff, a very entertaining experience, never been anywhere like it.Very family friendly and kid orientated.The food was tasty, however... It did feel a bit pricey for what it was.
