Dutch Courage Officers' Mess

Overall a bit disappointing. Drinks took ages to come. Service was mediocre. Didn’t get offered water and when we asked they forgot anyway. Food was good value for money.

Food was very good.

Best exciting food I’ve tried in ages everything was amazing, cooked perfectly had a banquet and was very pleased and filled to the brim. Tasty drinks with a huge selection

Great spot for good gin and great service ????

The food is always amazing! Roasted cauliflower is simply delicious! Great selection of Gin. Very nice cozy restaurant - perfect for couples.

I love this restaurant/bar - great atmosphere, very cozy, delicious food! The service was rather slow which is my only complaint - had to chase our drinks order a number of times - but I'll still definitely be going back!

Excellent service and ambience. We chose one large plate (duck tagine) and two small share plates (roast cauliflower and lamb ribs). Very tasty, and we both agreed it would be fun to return and sample other dishes.

This place doesn't disappoint on the selection of gins available and the helpful staff if you just can't decide. There's a new menu as well which compliments and is good value for money.

Very cute place with great vibe. Food was surprisingly good as I assumed the place to be heavily cocktail focused. Impressed by bartender. Waitstaff could have been a tad more attentive.

We have been here a few times and have never been disappointed. The atmosphere is intimate and the service is excellent, while the food is always amazing. Love the share plate concept.

This place is absolutely amazing. My boyfriend and I came for a banquet dinner and drinks- we were beyond impressed with the standard of food and drinks. The staff were also super lovely and helpful! Very friendly staff which aided to such a lovely night!

Excellent gin options as always. Portion size of the Admiral Banquet a little on the small side sadly. I have been before and been given larger portions. Worth the discount to bring the price down - perhaps the reason for smaller size? Will definitely return as I love the venue - good work Matt and the team.

Nice atmosphere and decor, lighting is a bit too dim. Almost half the tables have high wooden stools (no back support) which I found too uncomfortable to sit at for dinner so requested to move to proper chairs which luckily they did for me. The lamb tagine and artichokes were absolutely beautiful, but prices are too high for what you get (by about 30%) for me to return.

This is the fourth time I've eaten at this restaurant and the food is consistently good, and the prices are very reasonably, particularly on a 30% off food fork deal. I applaud the lovely woman who manages both the food orders and the drinks.

Both the Gin and food spread is really good and tasty. Enjoyed a quiet weekday night for dinner and drinks. Recommend for a catch up with friends and family.

Dutch Courage was lovely and the service was fabulous. The only negative was the extreme noise that filtered upstairs from downstairs patrons. Next time I would have liked to sit away from the balcony and more in the intimate cool space at the far corner.

Great place on arrival we were met at the bar by an energetic barman that made our drinks. food was exceptional although no exactly what we had ordered. Service needs some looking at plates and glasses stayed on the table way too long and they weren’t even busy!. Overall great place.

Fantastic food as always!

We had the Admiral set menu as everything sounded fantastic on the menu. What we were actually served was OK but didn’t live up to our expectations.

Huge gin list. Very romantic atmosphere. I will come back for sure. The food was really good (artichokes, calamari and pork belly are a must). I really enjoy the restaurant!
