“We recently engaged the services of Spice & Spirits for our community Diwali party. The team catered for over 360 people on the night and we are pleased to say that the feedback from our members was extremely complimentary. The food, many choices for both veg and non veg dishes and the buffet stations were professionally manned at all times. Minor issues prior to the event were professionally handled by Bhavesh. A stress free experience on the night and anyone looking to cater for a large party should seriously consider the services of Spice & Spirits. We would certainly consider them again. Thank you for your service. President, New LPS Bolton.”

“New Bar/Restaurant opened in Bramhall/Woodford. We was welcomed upon arriving and was quickly shown to our table. Excellent service upon arrival. The waitress came to the table with the menu's and information us with specials of the day. We ordered drinks (2 Coffees and a Large Coke) the Coffees was made perfect, probably the best I've had in a Pub/Restaurant. We ordered from the set 3 course menu £16.95. We chose... Starter: 1 soup of the day and 2 black pudding fritters. All perfect, hot and perfect size. Mains: 1 Fish Cake and 2 6oz steaks and Chips. Steaks should have been mid rare. Unfortunately we had to send the first 2 steaks back as they was well under cooked in fact you could say they was still mooing. The staff handed it in a professional manner and brought back two perfectly cooked steaks. EXCELLENT SERVICE. Pudding: This was perfect. Two Stickey Chocolate Puddings. Delicious. Overall we had a great experience, I can't fault any point of the Experience. The staff and service was excellent and made the afternoon every enjoyable, THANK YOU. We will definitely be going back in the very near future. A small add on: Toilets are up stairs, perfectly clean. Disabled toilets are on the ground floor.”

“Been here a few times now and it doesn't disappoint. Staff always pleasant and helpful, best thing is that they have large screens with football on so it's a good place to go watch the match.”

“We had the garlic bread with cheese, margarita pizza, mixed salad, and truffle pecorino ravioli. Everything was delicious. The garlic bread is the same size as a pizza not really a starter so note that. The mixed salad was basically shredded lettuce and cucumbers with some onions; not that it was bad, but I would’ve expected at least some form of dressing to go with it. The ravioli was superb and one of the best we’ve had. Margherita pizza was great. Both pictured desserts were delicious. Food arrived promptly and well prepared. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. Would recommend the place.”

“Never been on a weekend but damn its banging on a Thursday with karaoke and great atmosphere. No tossers either just good, down to earth people of all ages out for a laugh.

“Honestly, what a take over I was worried about the void that was left from the botanist however the take over has been impressive, they offer a wide range of food and drinks and the staff are kind and welcoming from the get go through to the end, will be returning.”

“Decent place Guinness was ace and at a more than reasonable price ..got some nice old fellers in there . Slightly let down by moronic girls drinking out of pint pots and letting the entire pub know things we don't want to hear (such is life) would recommend to any pub dweller tho ...landlord was a nice chap”

“I have always loved this restaurant. All of the staff are lovely and very attentive. It was my mums birthday today and we went to Bella italia tonight for her birthday meal. All of the food we ordered was absolutely delicious. We had a waiter called Jack and he is my favourite waiter - so polite and presentable and will go the extra mile to make your meal so special !! I will definitely keep coming - simply can’t get enough, yum !!! Can’t recommend enough.”
