Although the Christmas lunch was cheap in comparison for 3 courses at £18.95 I would recommend anyone looking to eat here to spend a bit more and go somewhere else. The bread they served was slices of toast with butter (which was not even toasted properly) which we all could not believe. When I asked the waitress if there were any bread rolls available she looked at me as though I was mad. For starters I had avocado on sourdough and goats cheese, the bread was once again half toasted and it was forgettable. For main I had the shin of beef which I could not finish, it was dry with a bbq sauce to disguise the bad quality meat. A lot of people opted for the Christmas turkey option and they all complained it was a dry ballontine which tasted of nothing. For dessert I ordered the sorbet and I can honestly say it was inedible. We are all banking professionals and considering this venue is situated in the heart of the city with ample choice none of us will be visiting again. Revolutions need to up their game if they want to survive, serving cheap food does not necessarily mean it has to be bad food. That’s just a recipe for disaster!

Loved the venue, it looked and felt great to be in. Although extremely understaffed (bar) at least they were friendly. However, I was very disappointed to learn that they were not offering all their drinks and stuck to bottled or tap.

However, I was very disappointed to learn that they were not offering all their drinks and stuck to bottled or tap. In a place like this in the location it's at and the price they are charging I expected at the least a menu which displayed the available drinks and their prices, instead of constantly being told "we dont have that tonight" I ended up with 2 ciders (identical) but charged 2 different prices. The sound system was acceptable at best, and security was very pleasant.

Friendly service and nice roomy layout. Food ok but why no nan bread or similar available with curry? Unforgivable not to have decaffinated tea or coffee. Could do better...
