    Unfriendly, unprofessional and very rude. I've booked a table, birthday night for 4 people. We were forced to leave after 15 minutes as I didn't have a card. Apparently, they are not taking cash as payment. Surely it should be up to me how I pay for the services... Why didn't the company mention that when I made the booking. The booking was made in person.

    Not too pleased when booking in person they never told us you can’t pay with cash so on the day we got told, no apology from staff, they got borderline argumentative instead of listening and apologising saying they only tell people it’s card only online, ruining our plans and we had to go somewhere else. Thankfully Smokd take cash I’d recommend going there, great food, lovely service and you can actually hear each other talk:)

    Rude. You have to order on an app. Of course all this technology is all well and good until it doesn't work. We couldn't finish the order on the app and the couple sat next to us had been trying for 15 minutes with the same problem. I went to the lady at the bookings desk who was polite enough and she said ' It's fine, just go to the bar, remember it's card only'. Fair enough. Two bartenders - a woman and a guy stood round not doing much when I walked up they asked if I was ok. I said that I'd like to place an order. "You have to order on the app", the woman said. I explained that I'm not doing that, theres a technical issue, and your colleague said it's fine to order here. The response was 'Theres a sign!" - and she indicated to a sign which said something to the tune of 'please order in the app' I said to her 'I just told you, we can't do that, we are having technical difficulty and the lady said it's fine to order at the bar' - And with that somebody else just placed an order at the bar funnily enough. The bartender at the other end had no problem serving them. The woman looked at her colleague rolled her eyes and made the cocktail...which tasted okay, but by that time I wasn't overly keen on drinking there. A little training in customer service needed I think.
