    Lovely venue and good food. Service was slow. On the Friday evening they had live music which was rather loud thus making it difficult to hold a conversation, I wasn't aware at time of booking. Overall would recommend.

    This is now the fifth time we’ve been to The Auction House since it’s opened and we are guilty of not writing a positive review after each time. The customer service has been consistently good as has the excellent food which never fails. The live band last night was a little noisy if you were there for a quiet meal however we were with friends for a great catch up and the band were singing some right bangers - we will definitely return sometime soon. Thank you Auction House, we will always recommend you to friends and family

    Service pretty non-existent. Had to ask for menu. Had to ask if we could order. Had to ask for more drinks. Felt like we had to ask for everything? Two of the small plates calamari and the chicken and chorizo were over cooked and inedible . The chefs said they would take them off the bill. Wanted to have another drink and had to approach the bar as we had yet again been forgotten. The young man came over pretty quickly and took our order, but then all the bar staff disappeared and we were yet again kept waiting. When they did reappear, we could see they weren’t preparing our drinks so went and requested the bill instead which ironically was the quickest service we had all evening . Even that was wrong as the inedible plates hadn’t been removed so they had to correct the bill. So disappointing as I have been before and had suggested it to friends and left feeling quite embarrassed.
