The Village Door

We recently had our daughters baptism at The Village Door with 30 guests. It was absolutely phenomenal. The staff were amazing. The food portions were fantastic, we took some home. The quality of food was great, so authentic and delicious. The gluten and dairy free meals were also exceptional. Filling and not lacking in taste. The venue itself is 10/10. Great outdoor area. The kids enjoyed being able to run up and down in the sun while we enjoyed a wine. It was really Value for money. Definitely recommend and will return in the future.

If you have dietary requirements then stay away from this place. I've always enjoyed the breakfast at Village Door so figured lunch would be just as good. Turns out the lunch menu is not as vego friendly, however the specials board had arancini and zuchinni slice on it which was promising. Asked about the arancini and was told it had a meat bolognese sauce, so inquired about the zuchinni slice and was told that yes, it was vegetarian. I double checked this, saying sometimes they have bacon in it but the wait staff confirmed - definitely vegetarian. Meals come out together and low and behold, the zuchini slice has bacon in it. Told the wait staff straight off the bat, and was told by the waitress those bits were just onion. Asked the waitress to check with the kitchen staff, she came back apologising because it was bacon, which I could pretty clearly see by looking at the slice. Not off to a great start, but the waitress asks if I would like the arancini as it was vegetarian. I questioned this as the man at the counter had told me it was a meat dish. Waitress goes and checks out the back and tells me its vegetarian so I order this. A few minutes later, the waitress comes out and apologises as the arancini does have a meat sauce. Finally get given a falafel souvlaki but had to sit there hungry while my partner ate his food, and once he had finished, he awkwardly waited when 20 mins later I got mine. Seems like its not a big ask to know which dishes have meat or not, and its a problem very easily fixed by having a (v) or similar next to some dishes on the menu. Would hate to have any dietary requirement more complex like a coeliac or vegan.
