   We booked a slot that was just before the kitchen closed which meant we were rushed from the outset which wasn’t a good way to start. The ambiance and service didn’t recover from there. The food was good. The bravas and the scallops were the standout dishes. Unexpectedly loved the touch of the basic baguette to mop up sauces. The wine was fine. Had an orange and olive oil cake for dessert: flavour was there but texture was lacking. Very glad we went but probably won’t go back despite living very close.

   This is my second time dining at Tollingtons and I thoroughly enjoyed it again. The service was slightly disappointing as our waitress was pretty rude and unfriendly, however the vibes were still great and the food was good overall.

   I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately it was a letdown. The food was alright — we ordered the crab claws, which were decent, but nothing memorable. The waitress mentioned she would bring the equipment to open the claws, but she never came back with it, so we had to struggle through it ourselves. After finishing our first round of food, we were still hungry and wanted to order more drinks and dishes. However, we were completely ignored for almost 20 minutes. No one checked on us, and trying to get anyone’s attention felt impossible. Eventually, we just gave up, asked for the bill, and left. The service overall was very poor — even tables around us were left with empty plates sitting there for the entire time we were dining. Honestly, the whole place felt very overrated. Would not recommend, and definitely won’t be coming back. Killed my hospo soul!

   The food was pretty good but really let down by the service, staff were not smiley or particularly friendly on entry which really set the tone for the evening. I thought the price was quite high for what it was, for £150 there are a lot better restaurants.

   Wow. That was one of the best meals we have had in recent memory. And I’m not even really a fish guy (there was a pork roll thing which was banging.) they let us bring the pushchair in which was a touch and the staff really knew their way around the menu. The food was fast and delicious. Grace dent was right about the chip they’re amazing. The pudding was amazing. Their beers (alcoholic and non alcoholic) were great. Can’t speak highly enough of our experience. Also love the vibe. Love that they kept the oldschool chippy feel.

   Read Grace D review a while back and wanted to experience the place. I was totally knocked out by both the chips and bifana.

   We wanted somewhere local, with good food, good atmosphere and friendly staff - we got it! The menu is small, but varied and something to suit everyone's taste. We loved it. Not pretentious just well cooked tasty food.
