Popped in for a drink and something to eat on route home to the North West. We were impressed by the choice of meals and enjoyed the 10 oz ribeye steak and pan roasted lamb rump. Both delicous.

Advertised outside in multiple places about a set menu available. No mention outside or in restaurant about it starting a week later until I asked. Staff looked genuinely annoyed when I enquired about it. No thanks, won't be

Parking nearby but not in site, there is a multi storey about 5 mins walk away. The place is quite large upstairs and down. The staff were very friendly and we were served swiftly at the start and throughout.The reason for only 4 stars is that a lot of items on the menu were out of stock, I understand there may be supply issues but we were not informed at the start and only informed when attempting to order with the reply "oh I think we are out of that" as such was choosing substitutions and in the case if the desert, nothing.That being said the food was lovely, service was good and friendly and overall was a nice place. Good for families.

We had a satisfactory experience at the Encore this evening. It was only saved by our outstanding server, Rory. He was an absolute Hunk Muffin 10/10 and he saved our NIGHT. He was brilliant under pressure and spent the entire night apologising for others mistakes.We waited an hour and a half for our main course. When they came the food was only satisfactory. We spoke to Rory and he was very apologetic and went above and beyond to rectify the issue.We would not be returning for any other reason then to see Rory for a drink.

This was a booking of 6 for Christmas day.There was no happy festive atmosphere.Glasses on the table were all disgustingly dirty.The quality of food was not worth the money we paid. It was more like a cheap supermarket cafe. We all left feeling hungry meaning I still had to cook dinner at home.It was the worst Christmas dinner we have ever had.

As a vegan I was struggling to find a place to eat at until I saw the brilliant options available at The Encore. With mains and dessert options I felt a bit spoilt. My waitress Jemma was very informative and recommended me the burger which I really enjoyed. She brought service with a smile and I?d definitely come here again some time. Recommend :)Vegetarian options: Felt I had a good option for food as a vegan

I recently visited The Encore and had the pleasure of being served by Jemma. I must say, she made my dining experience incredibly enjoyable.From the moment I sat down, Jemma was warm, friendly, and attentive. She greeted myself and my partner with a genuine smile and took the time to explain the menu and make recommendations.10/10 service!

I have dined and had drinks at The Encore on several occasions; the delicious, well-presented food and drink combine with tasteful and cosy decor for an enjoyable experience. A recent visit was improved further by the excellent service from barman Elliot ? he was friendly and attentive from start to finish and is a credit to the team. Shout out to Elliot!

Popped in for a meal with my partner earlier in the week. the staff are extremely attentive and the food was excellent! I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. The only name I can remember from the staff is Laura but everyone was friendly.

OK, firstly we arrived and were sat at our reserved table. The first question asked by staff was regarding food intolerance/allergies. It was stated that there was intolerance to Soya which was never flagged or acknowledged with a further detailed menu or further information on menu items from staff.My partner ordered something she'd be almost certain would not give her an upset stomach, and turns out it was quite good! Difficult to get a burger wrong though ay. I'd ordered a fillet steak medium rare which came out pretty much well done which was sent back. It was replaced around 10 minutes later with a fresh plate containing a cold, almost raw excuse for a fillet steak. I get the impression this was cooked straight out of the fridge with the temperature of the middle.Not a pleasant experience for me personally and this is rare, first time I've ever sent food back twice in a row and I generally don't make a habit of sending food back at all. When it cost around £30 it has to be right.The steak was taken off the total bill which was appreciated but I ended up grabbing a chicken gyro from a Greek take away further along which was delicious. Maybe we caught them on a bad day due to the many 5 star reviews? Who knows.
