This is a great after work place for a few drinks. Great beer selection. This bar also serves as a tasty and quick place to eat lunch. Fancy enough to cover any of the work special occasions that may arise.

Good vibe, clean facilities, friendly staff. Outside was quite dark after the sun went down, as the sun was going down was in our eyes, maybe a shade cloth could help? On a table of 12, everyone enjoyed their meals and the good variety of drinks.

Booked table for 8 person on 20Nov.After arrival order food nd drinks but drinks was not arrived after after 40 min.When I checked they told me that waiter already left who took our order.Then the most arrogant GM Mr David shows up and not even appology for the mistakes rather he was ordering me to come out outside to talk. We ordered 8 main meal all together but only 3 meals comes after 25 min but rest meal comes after 40 minutes. They shud know that we r all together and food shud comes all together. This is a common sense which they don't even. All the team members shud know abt solf skills

5/11/21 - had a beautiful dinner and lovely time at the Platform 28 restaurant. From the get-go, Brie our Waitress was absolutely wonderful, she had a good knowledge of the menu. The food and wine selection were great. Particularly liked that the restaurant spaced the tables so well that it wasn't noisy in the slightest. Thanks Platform 28!

Quite a nice pub meal. We ordered the Black Angus burger, the steak sandwich and the fried Squid. All the food was awesome and fresh for what it was. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice pub meal.

Great atmosphere, Great service, food bought out in a very timely fashion even though it's was so busy you could hardly move. Food was excellent and steak was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this place, it was kid friendly and had a loud but very relaxed atmosphere. Bar drinks at great prices and a few good specials with plenty of great tasting beer on tap

I have only had good experiences at Platform28. Good drinks and food menu. Great atmosphere, attentive staff, sportsTV for those into sportsing. Cosy in winter with fireplace and outdoor heated areas. It can get quite loud when busy.
