We were a party of 6. Food was ordered via scanning a QR Code. Each couple ordered one after the other but only 4 meals were delivered to our table. After waiting for some time and after the other 2 couples had almost finished their dinner, I approached one of the wait staff to ask how much longer our order would be. He promptly fetched someone from the kitchen who just said they were very busy and we would just have to wait. He was quite rude and really didn't care. Our food did take an unacceptable amount of time, especially when the other 2 couples were pretty much finished when our order arrived. At no point was there an apology. He jst kept saying they were very busy and we would have to wait. It's unfortunate because the wait staff are usually very good and are always happy to please. This guy was just a dick. If this was my business, I certainly wouldn't have him talking to my diners/customers. Interesting how one staff member can spoil the erxperience. Not sure if I'll go back to the Vale after this experience.

We visited on a Thursday evening, when a "special" was on offer. The food was served to our table very efficiently and it was very good; moreover, since we ordered the special, the food was excellent value for money. However, this special was clearly very popular, so the venue was crowded and very noisy, which detracted from our enjoyment.

Great atmosphere and ambiance. They only seated a table for 3 when I booked for four, so we had to move tables. The food was amazing around the table. Lovely Pink gin Spritz for lunch!

AC can be pretty cold for tables against the short wall opposite the kitchen entry. Perhaps the vent vanes could redirect the air towards the centre of the main bar area. Cheers!

I do enjoy lunch at The Vale from time to time and the service is usually very good, however on my last visit with a friend, my meal was delivered promptly but we were waiting for the other to arrive and eventually my friend had to enquire as to where her meal was. It had been forgotten, and although staff apologized and gave her a drink whilst she waited for her meal, it was a bit disappointing.

The food as always is great and is the service. The "so called security" on the other hand is a joke!! We exited from the beer garden and got told to exit from the restaurant, not in a nice manner either. There is no signage to state that we couldn't exit from there.

The service was great, food was fantastic. Even wen we needed another table added to our already extended table...the only issue we had was a couple of mix ups of meals. I put that down to there was 24 of us, so you kinda hafta allow for some hiccup. Yes we would recommend and most definitely go again.

Hadn’t been in a while so was disappointed to find after we booked a table that there was no actual table service. I ordered the butter chicken which was large in size but bland and flavourless. The sauce was not a butter chicken sauce and the rice was in clumps as not cooked properly. Meat was brown and chewy. So disappointing.I pushed it aside and it sat on the edge of the table whilst the rest of our group ate. Staff passed by on a few occasions but didn’t stop to enquire was it finished or take the dish away. We left as soon as my partner finished his drink. Won’t be back.

The staff were dragging around all the chairs around a long table when my friend and I were talking and trying to finish our last drink after eating a meal. It was only 9:30 pm on a Saturday night.

The curry special had very small amount of meat and the new Honey Soy King Prawns was very disappointing. The prawns were tough & over cooked.
