Went here today with my Mum and Dad for lunch. Great location in the shopping centre, friendly and professional staff and lovely food (I had the Chinese chicken). Highly recommended!!

Called on a Tuesday evening around 6pm and was greeted with a friendly welcome. Shown to a table and ordered drinks and food. Staff helpful and friendly and meals appearing not long after, this probably due to not being crowded, but this was a mid week visit, a little different to weekend I'm sure. This said only 4 stars for atmosphere but not down to restaurant, possibly a bit of low music on quite times could help. All in all very good service and food, well worth a visit.

Been twice recently. Lovely and quiet ! Decor is lovely and calming. Staff really accommodating and pleasant. Food is good. The fish and chips are actually better than Bannys kitchen! No cheese and onion pie ! Must be popular!

Went for breakfast today. Warm welcome, prompt service by friendly staff. Very good quality breakfast items served on hot plates, which is important to me! Reasonable prices - the full English was very tasty and super quality.

Wow. Having visited this restaurant quite a few times now I can safely say that I'm incredibly impressed. The cheese pie is my favourite dish on the menu and the portions are huge. Add together the great food and good staff, then this place is worth everyone of those 5 stars I've awarded. I would recommend this restaurant as a must for anyone in the area.

Lovely service with friendly, efficient staff. James greeted us on arrival and took our order. Food piping hot and very generous portions for ‘small’ fish and chips. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and Bannisters will be our go to for food at Boundary Mill. Thanks everyone

My husband and I visited Bannisters yesterday , Thursday 7th April , for lunch before we shopped there. We were SOOO impressed as soon as we walked in ! The greeting was efficient and friendly. The whole restaurant was spotlessly clean and as soon as people left tables they were cleared and cleaned very thoroughly. All the staff were happy ,friendly and worked very hard. I had the poached salmon open sandwich which was beautiful and very fresh . My husband had the cheese pie which he loved ! Thank you for your hard work and beautiful food ! Sue & Andy had the cheese pie which he loved. had

My wife and I visited Bannisters restaurant, inside Boundary Mill, yesterday, Monday the 4th of October (2021). We were greeted by a very friendly Maitre ‘d. A waitress then took us to our table & took our drinks order. We ordered the fish & chips which were delicious. The waitresses were all friendly and ALL wore face masks something that I feel is a must seeing as how we are still in the grip of Covid-19. The place was spotless, with tables cleared and sanitised as soon as they were vacated unlike some restaurants that leave the crockery on the table for ages. Well done to all at Bannisters restaurant.
