We went here for Sunday brunch and really enjoyed our meal. There is quite an extensive menu - brunch dishes, a Sunday Roast, or more traditional dishes like fish and chips or burgers. It had a nice, buzzy atmosphere and quick and efficient service. Originally we were seated at very low table and chairs, but we asked to be moved, which wasn't a problem. I don't know how anyone would want to sit on such a low seat unless you are less than 5 feet tall, but clearly, some people don't mind! Overall, it was a great experience, and we will go again.

Absolutely delightful evening at Frank’s Canteen and so happy finally made it! The food was unbelievable - rich, delicious, incredible flavours, really decent portion sizes and fairly priced. It was so hard to choose between all the dishes! Honestly cannot express how delicious it was. Lovely staff, warm welcome, no corkage also sweetened the deal. Really lovely can’t wait to go back hopefully for Christmas menu!

Food was good, waiting staff helpful. It would have been nice to have had maybe one more big plate options for weekday deal but small plates were excellent and quality of food within the deal was excellent
