I was used to going to Bang for client lunches and work gatherings over the years. This time, we went for a little festive dinner with our two daughters (age 6 and 8) and everything from start to finish was just gorgeous. Delicious food, excellent wine and a really lovely relaxed atmosphere and interior in the dining room upstairs. The icing on the cake was definitely the excellent service. Professional and really lovely, friendly staff, who were so kind and fun with the kids too. We’ll be back for sure. Thanks guys! X
