This was an unfortunate choice by me. My other half and I decoded to go to the cinema and go for a meal and I chose Bodenes due to being just beside the cinema. Firstly, I had to send my glass back twice due to being dirty, the first having something caked on the outside and the second due to having like a send or something on the inside. The meals themselves, we received warm as opposed to hot, the equivilent as if I had let it sot for 20minutes to cool - due to already complaining twice, I didn't want to make the waiter any more uncomfortable as it appeared he was quite new and didn't want to make it any worse for him. For both meals there was also way too much sauce, although the taste was OK, it was not a good experience. The waiting staff were really nice but the kitchen staff obviously leave a lot to be desired. Nothing that came out of the kitchen was done well. I won't be back.

High price in relation to the quantity for burgers.

Got a burger and fish. Both burnt and the inside of the fish just tasted of oil. It was not busy either.. sticky toffee desert was more of a CoCo sponge cake

Hit and miss. I won't be going back. My family and I ate here twice, first time the service was poor but the food was good. Second time, the food was terrible. I didn't eat my burger and said it to the staff. I was still charged for the not eaten burger but they didn't charge me for my coke as an apology. Seriously, I won't be going back and suggest no one else wastes their hard earned money here.

No starters or desserts for us this time just wasn't that hungry, but for what we did get it was very nice no complaints ' the chilli one' was my burger it was gone in less than two bites it melted in the mouth very nice, will be back for a full 3 courses next

Visited here after being at the cinema close by. Sorry we bothered, went with family..not a fussy bunch but wish I had read the reviews both on Trip advisor and Google before entering.Had to wait a bit to be seated (5mins total) which was grand, given menus while we waited. When seated took over half an hr for anyone to come back and take the order and over an hour from entering to receive any food. The kids were getting restless. The restaurant wasn't overly busy and one section wasn't even operating.The food arrived and none of the food was hot, lukewarm at best. Ordered an additional side with the meal that didn't come until nearly finished the main..just sat on the table by staff and no apology for wait.Staff not welcoming at all, tried to engage in some pleasantries but they seemed totally disengaged.Dietary requirements where required for one of the party and we were told most the menu could accommodate although no selection of options given. Ordered what thought was safest and made the requirement known again but service of the place doesn't fill me with confidence that this was met.Being with children we just ate and left. Don't think a complaint would have made any different to be honest. I hate leaving bad reviews but definitely avoid given the cost involved.
Had dinner tonight. Told us to sit and wait it will be 5-10 mins. We were waiting 30 mins until they seat us. Girl behind bar had time to fix her lipstick twice. Ordered herbal tea with lemon and honey. Got a quarter of glass full of honey with small slice of lemon. Never seen serve honey and lemon with tea this way (it was obviously too sweet without taste of lemon). Also was waiting for 2 milkshakes half an hour. Food was alright but not worth it so long wait.

On arrival we met a queue of approx. 9 customers and a large section of the restaurant empty.20mins later we were seated at a table and given 3 different menus. The table was still wet and took at least 5mins to dry.5mins later our food & drinks order was taken.10mins later I had to ask what was the average waiting time for food to be served (realising I should have asked this whilst queuing).On returning we were told 5-10mins and left without any chance of a reply. Annoyed at this point I questioned myself, what is it to be 5mins or 10mins.....The food arrived, the curry was mixed with the rice which was not described on the menu and the chilli chicken had far too many slices of fresh chilli, majority pushed to side of the plate. The food was not piping hot, albeit it was tasty.The biggest letdown was the Jug of water. This tasted of mould, very strong mould. Unsure if the water was the problem or their ice.This water was replaced into a fancy bottle!! Funny as this may sound but it tasted exactly the same, mouldy.Finally we were given sealed bottled water, which was cool and refreshing.Overall, our first and only experience did not meet expectations and unfortunately will not be returning.I hope this post does not offend those loyal Bodenes customers and helps others make a choice.Good luck

Really tasty food, it was just enough salt/pepper, flavors. We had some chicken and rips and all of that was amazing. Recommend!

Long wait to be seated even though there was empty seats. Small portion for 1 of the meals, veg cold and chips weren't cooked fully. Won't be back.
