    I took my Fiancé to Aura for her 29th birthday from the moment we arrived to the second we left the service was impeccable, Rhodri was our waiter and gave us exemplary service we also had service from Jess who was just as attentive and enthusiastic. The cocktails were speedy and well made, I didn’t catch the name of the bar mar but hats off to you my good man. The food was amazing hats off for the kitchen team tonight, the prawns we had as a starter were cooked to perfection. My Partner had an amazing evening. Thank you so much.

    We had the most amazing Sunday Roast at Aura. The staff were so friendly, accommodating and lovely from the beginning. The food was incredible, the best Sunday roast we’ve had out! Cocktails were delightful and the bar staff were very helpful. I would 100% recommend.

    Sunday lunch was disappointing, used to come here regular when it was the Culley’s Sunday lunch and now it’s changed it’s not half as nice. The meat was very tough, there was a small amount of gravy given, no pigs and blankets and roast parsnips like there used to be either. Had to pay £22.50 for what seemed a very small portion in comparison to the old Sunday lunch or you could have 2 courses for £25 but even then the variety of starters and dessert we’re disappointing as it wasn’t variety or much to offer. Personally won’t be returning the new Aura due to these factors. Disappointing as Culley’s was lovely!! Also had to pay for water which we were not told had to be paid for as it was offered as complimentary. The service charge was very expensive aswell at £19 which just seemed very high for a charge considering the food was very expensive anyway.
