I really enjoyed my evening at Crowded house. Apart from the staff helping my friends to embarrass me on my birthday by singing me happy birthday (😆) the food was excellent, we had burgers, steaks , the hake which were all cooked perfectly. The service staff were friendly, polite, attentive, without bothering us, and obviously well trained! The decor is intriguing and eclectic - I'm not quite sure how skateboards made it to the ceiling but it didn't feel out of place somehow! Hope to visit again soon.

What a lovely gem! The interior design is great, the staff is friendly and the food is Great! Not your average local restaurant for sure. Give it a try if you are around. The chef is for sure a professional as the food have touches that you find in way more expensive restaurants.

We came here for dinner on Sunday recently, completely unplanned and we hadn't booked. It was initially quiet so we got a table no problem. The staff were very helpful and polite I'm fairly sure every one of them asked if we needed anything ect. Our food came pretty quickly and I have to it was absolutely outstanding, can't fault anything about the place to be fair. We will definitely be coming here a lot more. Thank you to the staff at crowded house. It was a pleasure.

I very rarely leave an in depth review but the experience i had here deserves nothing less! When we arrived we loved the atmosphere, fresh and quirky decor and a smiling face to take us to our table. The menu was a mix of traditional and african touches, and the drinks menu had absolutely everything you could possibly want. Food arrived promptly and was delicious! I had the nigerian beef stew, my partner had the lamb shank and honestly it was spectacular. The beef was bursting with flavour and so tender, the plantain was cooked perfectly and so well presented. The ladies that brought our food over were lovely and chatty, nothing seemed too much trouble for them (i recall one was Georgia but have forgotten the other ladies name, apologies) they were on hand for everyone in the restaurant and seemed tending each table as if they were the only ones in. Great service. I ordered a cheesecake dessert which seemed like a work of art, a raspberry mascarpone cheesecake in a chocolate cage of sorts, and even though i was unable to finish it, again I can't compliment the chef enough-it was heaven! A bottle of the house wine was ordered to go with our food and we had a cocktail and pint since it was a Saturday night 😂 The wine was perfect and my cocktail was just as good as everything else i had tasted! All in all, this was the best restaurant i had been to in such a long time, if you want a relaxed atmosphere that offers fresh top tier food, this is the place and i cannot wait to go back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What an absolute gem. The owner comes and has a chat all about the origins of the restaurant and how they've adapted and developed. The food is so delicious and fresh. It's a beautifully decorated place with lots of 'regulars' making a nice ambience.

The Crowded House Restaurant is a gem on the Manchester Road. The interior decor is beautiful; the eye-catching theme, in this case Valentine’s Day, pours out.
The service is warm & professional; there is a genuine sense of care.
The dishes look as eye-catching as the interior. Delve into the taste, that’s is where something is missing. The subtle flavours indicates the chef’s willingness to let the natural ingredients do the advertising. I understand, dishes can sometimes be masked by the herbs and spices that accompany them.
I would describe Crowded House Restaurant’s cuisine as contemporary British. Hats off to the team there; they are taking humble dishes and sending them in a new direction, enjoyed in a beautiful environment.

Wasn't a bad little restaurant.
The menu is rather limited and wasn't to my state however, that's just me. Those who I was with really liked the selection.
Couple of things to note:
Lack of parking, you must likely will need to park on a side street.
You can't book but there's a bar area where you can wait.
Main meals are what they say they are....no sides or food to complement. So, therefore make sure you order a side to go with your main.
Decent selection of cocktails and overall a pleasant place to dine.

I love this place! Me & my partner first visited to try it out after driving past a few times.
It’s fantastic and welcoming! The food is always delicious & the staff are so lovely! You don’t get rushed out, you can sit there all night if you’d like. I’ve brought back friends for girls nights and it’s still as excellent as my first visit! I loved it that much that my partners mum got me a voucher to spend at the salon or restaurant! Treating myself to a salon experience tomorrow and I’m sure I’ll be blown away just as much �
Couldn’t recommend it enough!
