Verve Cafe

Positives were portions were big, prices were reasonable and service was prompt. I know the current venue is only temporary (upstairs in Johnny Ringos) but it felt really dingy and dark, the chairs were uncomfortable plastic chairs, there wasn’t any pictures hanging on the wall, it was just quite a grim location. While I appreciate it’s only temporary, as another reviewer said below it felt ‘dirty’, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to hang a few pictures or put up a few fairy lights or plants to make someone have a bit of character or atmosphere. Food was good but the location was really offputting.

This was a surprise find in the city. It feels like it is hidden away, more exclusive. It has a lovely feel to it. The service was exceptional and the food was amazing. You couldn't ask for much more. We all had a good time and were free to hang around as much as we like. Some places would move you along to fit in the next group. Overall it was a great night.

Such a great atmosphere and the cider and food was delicious (I especially recommend the goats cheese gnocchi and the key lime cider - they were both awesome). We tried the cider flight and Adam was absolutely brilliant, he gave us an awesome selection and also gave us a taster of their house-made mulled wine, which tasted like Christmas in a glass. Thanks for the great experience all round, we'll definitely be back!
