The Imaginarium Gastro Lounge

We have just moved to the area and it was our first visit to the imaginarium. We couldn’t believe how big it was and how beautiful inside was. Certainly a hidden gem. The atmosphere was so lovely and it was full. We had a steak and a calzone and the food was all amazing! Service was brilliant and we wasn’t waiting long for drinks or food. The garden room is beautiful. We were so taken by the place we asked for information on booking for our wedding. This will definitely become our regular eating/drinking spot.

Booked for a meal for 4 Saturday night, earliest booking was 8pm which was fine. Waited til around 8.15/ 20 to be taken to our table. Asked if someone would take our order after waiting quite a while. 5 minutes later order was taken and we waited for our food for a while. We asked for a pudding menu and ordered. By the time we had been served our pudding time was getting on. This wasn't a problem, we were in no rush. Problem was as soon as we finished eating the bill appeared on our table and someone turned up with the card machine, our table was cleared of all the glasses except for one which my friend picked as it full to stop it being taken. I appreciate staff want to go home at the end of the night but if we felt as if we were being thrown out. We left at 10.05pm. I feel if you are so busy maybe having an 8 pm sitting is too late. The staff were obviously busy and were perfectly polite when taking our order, the food excellent but the late sitting and waiting times between sitting/ ordering/ recieving food was out of our control. Such a shame as it spoilt our night.

Amazing place and really nice welcoming staff. Gorgeous food, quite upset I hadn't been before now but will definitely be back with it being on my doorstep. Nathan does an amazing job at manager too and making sure everything's running smoothly!

Love this place! Great ambience and the food is outstanding! This was our fourth visit in recent months, each time with different friends or family, everyone has been impressed by the standard of the food. The staff also deserve a mention for their professional and friendly service. Definitely one of our favourite restaurants!

Surprising unique bar/restaurant. Only called in for a drink but the service was great and the menu looked lovely. Will deffo be back to stay for a meal
