The overall experience was delightful, except for the choice and volume of music. While fast, loud music might enhance evenings with cocktails and beer, it seemed out of place during a Sunday lunch. At times it verged on being comical; we couldn't decide whether to eat our Yorkshire pudding or grab some glowsticks! Nevertheless, the Sunday lunch and service were excellent, with generous portions of tasty, hot dishes beautifully presented. However, the lack of a vegetarian roast option was a slight disappointment. It would be wonderful to see what the chef could create for vegetarian and vegan diners. Despite being too full for dessert, we had planned to try one of the tempting cocktails before leaving. Unfortunately, like others before us commented, the music was off-putting. I hope the Dry Spy will consider playing more background acoustic or 1920s themed music for Sunday afternoons. We would love to return with our family, but not while it feels like a 90s rave flashback. After a long week of work, a girl simply wants to relax and enjoy a lunch and good conversation. Sunday vibes, please!

The restaurant has a cool retro vibe, delicious food, and fantastic service. With distinct sections to explore, from the cozy ground floor to the charming rooftop terrace, this place offers something for everyone. The quirky decor adds to the ambiance, while the delicious dishes and amazing cocktails ensure a memorable dining experience. Staff always smiling, and very thoughtful.

Held a work event here upstairs - everything was perfect - the setup, the planning, the food and drink and the service on the day. Our team has already asked if we can have our next party there!

The Dry Spy has a sort of Great Gatsby mixed with Speakeasy vibe to it. Really nice interior and great looking drinks menu, with a great range of cocktails and beers, plus their special cider which goes down well. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, I would not recommend going if you do not enjoy relatively loud music! The servers were all polite and accommodating, and although they brought out one or two wrong things, they rectified this in a timely manner. The only drawback to this place was the food. The food servings are quite small in size, and was unfortunately a bit bland. The presentation was immaculate, but I'd have expected a bit more of a richer taste with the smaller servings. (Please note I have heard wonderful things about their Sunday dinners on the other hand, just to bare in mind).Summary: great place for a vibrant, lovely atmosphere and great bar, but food could be improved.

Visited on a Friday night. Atmosphere and vibe is great. Good selection of drinks. Food however was a bit underwhelming and didn’t represent the best value. The waitress also made a mistake on the food order meaning we were brought the wrong fish dish which was rectified within a few minutes. We just missed the live music. Will return for drinks and entertainment like music and given the good reviews of Sunday lunch may try that some time but won’t be rushing back for the a la carte. Shame as execution of the food seems to be the common thing letting the side down when otherwise everything else if about right.
