    The sunset sessions are great fun, the music is loud enough to give privacy for a close conversation but not so loud you can't chat at all. Never had any issues with the food and the offer with glass of wine, 3 course meal and live music is excellent value for money and the food is really tasty. It's bistro style and a set menu which is why the quality is well above the price point. The staff are lovely as well and having been a few times before we had a very warm welcome and excellent service. The walk along the harbour arm afterwards is a lovely end to the evening.

    We love going to the tasting rooms for an evening of music and a meal.I did not enjoy this quite as much as found the jazz a bit too “ jazzy” for me with no recognisable music.Previous evening's music has been more mainstream.Still good to have background music though but would have been nice if the band had engaged more with the audience. The food was good but a bit “ heavier” than usual and I could not manage to eat all of the meatballs. Still an enjoyable evening and we will be going again as such a nice venue. Great value for a three course meal,glass of wine and entertainment

    Great food, lovely place and staff. We were early lunch so it was very quiet at the time and hadn’t warmed up yet. Plus it was a really cold blowy day. I imagine it’s buzzing when it’s full. Really nice place, look forward to going back.

    This was our second visit to The Tasting Rooms on a Friday night and both occasions have been excellent. The food was delicious, there was a great atmosphere and the music was great too. I would highly recommend a visit here.
