Great food, service could’ve been better, didn’t really explain the menu, live music was great but was a bit loud and hard to chat between us at the table. Wasn’t a fan of the wine glasses with no stem too. But overall a nice night, would I come back? Probably not.

It was a busy night for the team but they seem to take it gracefully in their stride and carried on. Compliments to the Chef and his team as the food was amazing. Complements to the bar staff as the drinks were served quickly and made to perfection.

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Only two minor issues - very noisy and the pork special was a bit dry/over cooked.

Had a nice night, great space, lovely staff, but the food was a bit underwhelming- Chicken was dry and came with half a baby cos lettuce as the salad, no chips. Steak was ok but but that’s all. Not better than pub food but well more expensive. Still, would def come back for drinks and snacks.

We went on my wife's birthday which happens to be on Valentines Day. The staff went the extra mile to make our dinner/occasion about her birthday and therefore not just feeling like it was rolled into everyone else's Valentines Day malarkey. That's classy hospitality right there! Great fit-out, friendly attentive service, excellent food, fair pricing. What else do you want?

Service was amazing, always with a smile and the food was delicious. I have eaten here several time or just enjoyed a drink on a Sunday evening while watching the traffic and people go by. Definitely a regular place to visit.

Great food, great service. A little echoey inside, but lovely outside. A touch on the expensive side for a suburban haunt, but still very much happy to recommend.

Glad a tried it but would rush back. Taco flavours sounded more interesting than they tasted. Service was slow & disorganised. Jalapeño margarita the highlight.

Everything was perfect. Great service, lovely food. Good menu for meat lovers. Just needs a couple more choices for vegetarian and pescatarian diners. Dessert was delicious and very generous but as a chocolate lover I missed having a chocolate option. Overall really enjoyable. Great vibe. Will definitely return.

...great place with a great feel. Its a real and warm place to dine with no pretentious airs or graces. Its just another example of the North keeping it real and focusing on what dining out is all about.

Very disappointing, extremely slow service, understaffed. Manager blamed waiting staff when clearly it was a lack of staffing. Food came out at vastly different times (ie 20 mins apart for main meals). Quality of food was reasonable but relatively expensive for what it was. Disappointed as I had had previously good experiences. Unlikely to go for food again.

Excellent place for an end-of-year gathering for eight of us. One of our number arrived about 10 minutes after the rest of us had ordered yet his meal still came out with the rest. Friendly and patient service, good food and beer. The acoustic of the converted warehouse or factory space mean that it is pretty noisy and challenging to talk, but that's the way in 99% of places so can't really penalise them for that. Recommended.

Best Crispy chicken ribs on the planet. We absolutely love this place, to hang after work. The only thing I would say is that the music is very loud at times, making it hard to chat with friends. If this can change, this place is pretty perfect

As usual Stray Neighbour didn't disappoint. Great Food, Great Service. The chicken schnitzel and coleslaw was very tasty and the chicken very tender. The beef brisket was also excellent served with kohlrabi and pickles. Side dish of pan fried broccoli to round out the dish and ensure we ate our greens. Love Stray!
