Came here for a work Christmas Party and everyone who worked there was so accommodating and helpful at getting the labels of the drinks mixers to make sure they're gluten free as I have Coeliac disease and even drinks can sometimes be risky. Thank you so much to the staff for putting my mind at ease. Beautiful venue aswell.
I had my birthday here yesterday evening, there was 18 of us! Great service drinks were coming fast and everyone really enjoyed themselves! The guy on the bar was amazing he was none stop making drinks and made sure everyone got there drinks! Charlotte was fantastic and kept making sure everyone was happy and ok! Would highly recommend x
Gorgeous venue, attended the weekly pub quiz and the host - general manager Jade - was full of energy and gave us an enjoyable night, with various twists and turns to keep it interesting. The deputy manager Charlotte served us promptly and ensure we had drinks topped up as and when needed. Lovely atmosphere and spirit.
Great service. Hard working staff. Most had the bottomless brunch and enjoyed food along with plenty of cocktails. Personally I had a couple of beers and a pizza. Very enjoyable 2 or 3 hours.
Beautiful cocktails, amazing menu and even better beautiful venue! 10/10 best cocktails in Peterborough!
Seriously THE best place ever- jade is amazing with the cocktails and maggie in the kitchen is a game changer- music is perfect fit any time of day you come in. Honestly the staff make this place- couldn’t fault anything 🙌🏼
I thought I booked bottomless brunch , but somehow I messed up and didn't do it properly, which I found out only once arrived . Genuinely thought our night out was ruined by me , but thanks goodness for our server Jade , she saved our night . She was amazing , fast and friendly .Service was fast , cocktails amazing , honestly I had the best night . Also proved that not all heroes wears cape . Definitely coming back again
We came on the 21st of October for bottomless brunch in the evening. We had a fab night the cocktails were amazing! And the food was good. The singer and band was brilliant, all the bar staff was fab! And really lovely & helpful. Only thing that let it down was the place was absolutely freezing, We was seated next to a door which had to be kept "open" for fire reasons... Along with the back door wide open!! 🥶
We came for cocktails and found the atmosphere to be lovely, drinks made carefully, smiley helpful staff. Clean too! Very welcoming!
Great service and bottomless branch maggie and Maria very welcoming food and drinks on point thank you soooo much
Everything was super delightful the staff were amazing the drinks were super and there was a very wide variety 100% coming again
I booked the private room downstairs for a surprise party. The service was excellent and everyone involved there helped massively to ensure the night was a big success. Would definitely recommend!
The best bottomless brunch in pboro, Charlotte made the best drinks, had the best banter and made our bb the best experience. Defo returning for her drinks alone! Pizza also bomb
Ordered a pizza which I had to wait over 45 min for then when it finally came it was all burnt and tasted like a frozen pizza you get from Tesco Service was absolute bismal. No one ever came to ask how the food or drinks were. Atmosphere . Well there wasn t much of it
My friends and I have been to Bijou numerous times now with mixed results however we came for the abba drag brunch this weekend and I do have some negatives and they were big negatives. The drag act was fine, no issues there, however the basement room was hideously hot to the point of making people feel unwell. Yes there was fans and an air con unit but they was aimed at the stage and they just blew around hot air. It was unbearable at times. Also a major bugbear is the high tables that have stools. Why on earth have those? All they did was completely block off any view to the stage for anyone else? Seriously we wasnt happy paying to see the act and we couldnt because those higher tables are in there. Get normal tables and chairs so everyone can at least see. We definitely wont come back to see an act there again as its pointless. The service was quicker than usual which is good and the pizza was absolutely delicious as always. Seriously though Bijou management, sort out those higher up table and stools.
Had the best time!!! The service was amazing! Cocktails very tasty and the food was absolutely gorgeous!
The most amazing bar Service outstanding great choice of drinks and great atmosphere. Jade and her staff go out their way to make sure you have a good night x Food
Really nice atmosphere, Great cocktails and really friendly staff :)
Fantastic venue; great bottomless brunch & the DJ really bought the vibe to an evening! Great music and great staff!
Excellent service, cocktails are a dream!
Great atmosphere and a perfect night out with all my friends! Definitely would recommend to everyone x
I dont recommend to anyone who is not English to going there .the staff are very Racist with turist,and am very sad
Great Bijou location for a quiet pint.. However on an independent celebration night for myself and taking a selfie of myself to express my enjoyment...I was pulled out by security and asked to leave the venue because a group of drunk ladies felt uncomfortable and assumed I was taking a picture of them. One of the ladies had stuck there middle finger up to me. This is being judgemental and getting the wrong end of the stick. It didnt need a security guard to ask me to leave the venue, it just needed a simple explanation to the group of ladies and learning right from wrong. Unfair treatment by that of security, and I only post my constructive criticism in the hope security improve for future circumstances.
DO NOT COME HERE wouldnt help a customer use the loo when the bar was empty very rude lady on laptop doing nothing
Great bar lively atmosphere
Jade is the best bartender this side of Skegness
Good atmosphere, great staff, cocktails went down a treat.
Jade was amazing kept our drinks coming atmosphere was awesome food was delicious deffo recommend!!!
Jade and all the staff are the best and are very interactive with customers
Absolutely amazing, love all the staff!
Amazing service and had a good laugh
Lovely bar cafe in town great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Came for drinks and karaoke. Highly recommend.
Came for a bottomless brunch for 10 of us, the guy that served us (sorry didnt catch his name) was so friendly! Nothing was too much trouble at all, he made the experience even better than it was! And it was brilliant anyway! Cocktails were lovely! Especially one called Jade Bay! Food was hot and really tasty. Credit to all the staff that work here as they really add to a great experience.
The staff are so helpful and friendly
I spent a very enjoyable and fun evening in the downstairs bar at Bijou with karaoke and playing ukulele. Nicely done out bar area and very friendly and good service from staff.
organised an open mic at bijou and the staff went out of the way to help set up and make it such an enjoyable night. The service throughout was spectacular and staff joined in and made it a special evening for everyone would highly recommend the venue and jade and her team Kid-friendliness: Engaging and helpful with the children
Brilliant evening .... lots of fun. A few of us had ukuleles and played a few songs, as Bijou could project the words that we were using, everyone could join in and sing along. Fabulous atmosphere. I also joined some friends for a couple of Karaoke songs .... first time for everything!! .... but very good fun. [The food rating was for the drinks.]
Attended an Open mic/Karaoke evening in the basement room. I enjoyed the evening, it was a cosy room so everyone could interact and enjoy the evening. Jade was a good hostess in entertains us and serving drinks.
Some of our u3a ukelele group were invited to the Bijou for a karaoke session last week. It was such a fun evening. I didnt actually have any food as I had recently had a meal but they do coffee and cake from 11-4 (I think) Wednesday to Sunday, plus other food and drinks, so hope to partake soon! A great time was had by all!
Been to bijou on many occasions, saw all the rugby there, have seen some great singers there and generally a nice place to go and relax have a beer enjoy a great pizza, friendly lively staff , and Jade and Ashley always make you welcome . If the weather is nice sit outside and watch the world go by . I recommend
Beautiful place, great drinks and atmosphere.
Went to the quiz night , great evening . Shame was not busier but was Thursday night. Nice friendly atmosphere and attentive friendly staff . Food
Amazing venue , with attentive friendly staff , good food , gorgeous cocktail and fun atmosphere . We went for a birthday treat boozy brunch and it did not disappoint! Would highly recommend :) Dietary restrictions: My gf pizza was delicious and I wasn t penalised in anyway for needing it . Often the gf options are smaller , more expensive and take longer to come . Not the case here !
First time here and absolutely loved it. Jade and Ashleigh were absolutely amazing. Such a good atmosphere and the drinks were fabulous. Thank you so much for making our bottomless brunch what it was!! We will defo be back
Jade (Dave) was amazing very informative, helpful and a great laugh. Made us feel very comfortable and never waiting to long to very served!! From the vegan
Four of us came last night and wow what a night we had jade promised us it would be the best bottomless brunch and she was right! We loved every second and jade your amazing! Food and drinks were next level can t wait to come again! From kerri x
Waitress was rude and disrespectful without any provocation. Clearly has no clue about customer service and should choose a different career. No wonder it was empty. Ended up leaving and going elsewhere.
Me & 2 girlfriends went for bottomless brunch on 24th Feb and as avid bottomless brunch go-ers, this was our first time at Bijou and it is by far one of the best. A vast selection of cocktails and food on offer and the staff really cannot do enough for you. Cocktails are strong, tasty and NOT watered down, so you really don t feel like you re being cheated. Definitely going back!
Great cocktails. Great food. And even better service!
First time in Bijou.. .... 100% returning next week. Cracking cocktails, amazing atmosphere, superb staff, fantastic food. Jade was particularly fantastic. Honestly, the best night out Ive had in a long time
Great, great, great. Great food, cocktails and employees
Seems its up for Sale. Just as it became good.
Ist time at Bijon Peterborough really impressed. NYE 23 booked a table for 4 bottomless brunch and I am so glad we did. The staff were so friendly and made us feel so welcome from the start. Bijon is really nice inside. We had lovely comfy seats and the bar lady I think Ashlie was very welcoming explained all we needed to know for our bottomless brunch. They have a large range of cocktails, beers and prosecco, you can chose from as many as you can drink in your two hour slot. Including food a choice of pizza, tapas or baguettes and you choose one each. so our men had a pizza each and my daughter and I had the tapas meat platter. It all came out together nice and hot so we could share. We were not expecting as much we got and it really nice food. The services I must say was brilliant The manager I think she was called Jade was fab very friendly she went over and beyond to ensure we enjoyed ourselves and as it was NYE she made us a couple of her own special cocktails which was a lovely touch. All in all we had really good time and I would 100% highly recommend Bijon for Bottomless brunch really good value for the price. We will definitely be returning soon. Thank you to all the staff.
Nice little cocktail bar the staff were very friendly. A good selection of cocktails that were very presented. Cant comment on the food so I will back for sure
Slow service. Warm beer. Nice staff.
Not really a Sunday afternoon place........ it feels a little like an old supermarket and just a bit naff
Stopped by last Saturday and it s a great little bar and they had a singer on which was really nice. They do table service orders rather than go to the bar which is helpful but it does make the atmosphere a bit stiff.
it was lovely place for cocktails
Served well,sweet meal
An amazing place hired for a birthday party, beautifuly set up and all staff from the super helpful manager to the welcoming and friendly bar staff couldnt do enough to make sure everthing ran smoothly. Highly recommended. Thank you team Bijoux, you rock!
Food and atmosphere is good but the service is really slow. Waiting times of about 20 mins everytime you order drink.
Chilled and nice
absolutely smashing party! couldn t ask for a better one
Alex Emery made our night. We cannot wait to return and hope he is serving cocktails again!!
Strange place, a cocktail bar that had run out of ingredients to make cocktails. Once we did get a drink they were very nice but our drinks arrived 15 minutes apart. On the visit to the toilets downstairs the soap dispenser was covered in white powder.
Great little venue and great music
Popped in for a cocktail, it wasnt the best.
Had a lovely afternoon with family and friends to celebrate my nieces baby shower. Staff were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure all guests were happy. The food was excellent and plentiful. Will definitely go back again
Highly recommend the bottomless brunch, the meat and cheese platter was lovely. The cocktails were fab, best espresso martini Ive had. The service was absolutely first class, we will be back
Best cocktails in town using high quality alcohol
This has changed and its not the same friendly atmosphere as it used to be
Jade was amazing best host ive come across. Cant wait to come again
( LEON AND NADIA ) I just have to say how amazing, kind, fun and accommodating these 2 individuals are, they was so lovely from start to finish on our visit last night for the Dan Knight Performance. Honestly thank you to the bother for being so wonderful!
They cant make a proper caipirinha, but still charge £9.50 for it!
Nice drinks, lovely staff :)
Great cocktails, a little slow, but worth the wait
First time going yesterday and cocktails were first class, three waitresses were really friendly. One of the young ladies went above and beyond, unfortunately I cant remember her name, she made the cocktails, a credit to the team. Squshed frog
Absolutely love this place
A first visit, and wont be the last! A group of us came for the bottomless brunch! The meat and cheese sharing platters were so nice and the cocktails were tasty. Its a small venue but soo soo lovely, the staff were very attentive and fun. All in all a very lovely experience which we will be doing again soon.
Give it a go. Lovely coffee and cake
I Visited Bijou last night for the first time and it certainly will not be my last. As soon as my partner and I arrived we were greeted with such a warm friendly welcoming. We ordered drinks and food which we could not fault. If in Peterborough Bijou is a must . The atmosphere was so good having a great vibe. Excellent customer service Thank you Bijou Team see you soon
Brilliant atmosphere staff are lovely! Owners helpful and polite couldnt think of a better place!
Fantastic service! Especially from Amanda and Ashley :) definitely will come again as they make us feel so welcome
Thank you for assisting me to host my bosy friends surprise 40th birthday the team was amazing and done so well to make sure the party went smoothly and everyone had an amazing time. Speacil thanks to Amanda and Jade and boys working at the bar you are a fantastic team x
Love the cocktails and the staff always go out of their way to be helpful.
We had such a fun night at the pub quiz, food and drinks were delish and all really reasonably priced too! The place is super cute, all the staff were lovely and welcoming and we really loved the banter from tidy Heidi!! Love the bday gal clingy crocs xx
Saturday hen night at bijou Had a great evening with wine and tapas And couple of bottles of champagne Servers were very attentive and helpful in every way Bringing more bread /water etc when we needed it without asking A good night with a live band playing we all could have a dance afterwards Amazing singer covered a good variety of songs for everyone Thanks for a super night Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread
Absolute gem of a place in the heart of the town. Good selection of drinks and the food is absolutely gorgeous. The staff make this place. Very pleasant and have a great humour. Jade in particular was such a breath of fresh air and I hope she continues to grow. She is a blessing on ones mental health. The drink of the day was called Barbie and it was made to absolute perfection and served with a smile. The photos dont do it justice. Pop in and experience it for yourself .
Brunch is AMAZING!!! Proper cocktails and so many to choose from. The food was delicious we had tapas and meaty pizza. All cocktails were on point!! 10/10 staff too! Will definitely be back thanks :) xx
Amazing service especially by Bartek, so professional and kind!!!
Great ambience, wonderful friendly staff, awesome drinks in a pretty setting.
Fun place. Great atmosphere. Enjoyed the music & cocktails
Me and my wife were in recently and we had a brilliant time. The drinks were fantastic and the two girls behind the bar (sorry I cant remember your names!) were great to interact with and the drinks were some of the best in Peterborough. I guess thats down to being real cocktails too! Our only mark down of one star is because the beauty of local business is the people. One gentleman in a suit was not interested in conversation at all and his bluntess with customers and staff seemed very unprofessional and is the only thing that let this place down. However, we will be back again for the drinks and the fun members of the team for sure!
The venue itself and drinks are great. Tried one last go in this place this weekend but, unfortunately the vibe is completely ruined by who we assume is the manager, when last weekend an entire venue is chanting to get the manager out (which is no wonder considering is attitude), that is not a great advert. Such a shame it was one of the last few independent bars worth going to. This weekend was the last time we go in here. He has ruined it. Service review for bar girl shes a gem
The manager here is so rude we had to leave fast and spend our money fast and was not made welcome seems like a frequent occurrence
I attended last night and the general manager who own 25 percent of the company apparently was soo rude. A fight happened and now I am 50 pounds out of pocket as my hand bag was knocked over and cash has now gone missing. Called to see if what they could do and the assistant manager was so rude. Since it has been taken over i will never attend back there again. Disgusting service and was an absolute shambles by the end of it. The only thing that was good was the singer who was amazing!
Shocking experience yesterday caused by the general manager Gary I think his name is, from Newcastle. He made it very known that he made the rules, menus and owns half of Bijou. He was aggressive, argumentative, rude and the worst of all, was found being racist to one male. The way he speaks to customers and staff is absolutely disgusting. We also booked bottomless brunch and only received 3 drinks each and platters to share, not one each. The excuse from Gary was that theyre understaffed. Unfortunately this man is going to run the place down. I would avoid this place at all costs!
Just to elaborate on the previous reviews, I had the same experience with the manager. He was not only rude and ungrateful of our reservation at bijou but also managed to ruin our night. Very poor experience, definitely couldn t see myself revisiting. Thank you to the singer and bar staff which done aswell as they possibly could, shame management didn t meet the same standards.
Unfortunately, paid for more food than we got. I raised this with the manager, but according to him everything was brought out. It is sad, but not the truth. Before booking the basement, I was told, that the toilets will be private for our party, however everyone and anyone from upstairs was using them. Also, I was told there will be no music, so had to organise my own speaker, but when I came the music was put on right away. So, I was confused about what we agreed on. The staff were nice enough, but manager treated them badly few times in front of customers, so that was really unprofessional. At the end, I will not come back due to the issues raised above.
Went in for a quick mid week drink in the hope to avoid the GM and found out HE IS GONE!!!!! It s nice to see a place that takes notice and immediately takes action to sort out issues. The place already feels better and thats a mid day monday!!!
Called in for a drink and some food while in town today and was lovely to see the place has regained its friendly, vibrant atmosphere after going though a very strange period over the last month. Great to see that the management are quick to act when things are not working.
This place is full of rude staff from the door staff to the management. The drinks are expensive nothing to rave about, better cheaper places in town. Will not be going here again. Seems a lot of the good reviews for this place are fake and wrote by owners mates sorry but this is unprofessional and disrespectful to genuine customers wanting genuine reviews . Disgraceful
Always have a good time, when I visit
I absoloutely love it at Bijou, everything is amazing from the food to the service! The staff are so amazing and do such a fantastic job
We tried the bottomless brunch in the evening and it was an enjoyable evening with live music. Would highly recommend
One of the best brunches in Peterborough! It was so good that one of my best friends did her brunch there for her bday so we ended up going twice in one month! The brunch is definitely good value for money, the cocktails are strong too and the food was amazing! I ll be booking again in future and even go there for a few cocktails Dietary restrictions: They cover both vegan and gluten free options
Turned up for a 11:00am bottomless brunch on time and they were not ready for guests. New starter training behind the bar on a Saturday morning and no prep done for customers arriving. We were made very aware that out 2 hour slot started from booking time, despite losing first 15 minutes through no fault of our own. Bang on 1pm we were told that our slot had finished but we re welcome to purchase more drinks. I will say that Jade and the new starter Bret were very polite and service was slick once started. However I wouldn t book that time slot again as it somewhat set our day off on a poor footing.
Absolutely amazing, was meant to go to London but train strikes meant we had to go to Peterborough, but no regrets. Superb service from Mike, enhanced the atmosphere massively and was so attentive. The whole staff were lovely and will definitely be coming back for more group bookings, best place in Peterborough we ve been too after living here for 27 years! Dietary restrictions: Made sure to meet the needs of every person
Ashlie the manager is absolutely fabulous. What a wonderful credit to the business. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Only discovered this little gem this evening but I will definitely be returning. Great place.
Ashlie is a wonderful member of the team. No mountain to big. I love this place. The best in P toen
Ashley is the best amazing service
Perfect venue for a party, I booked the basement for our Christmas work party, Jade did us a brilliant deal on a drinks deal . The atmosphere was lovely and we had 2 bar staff all to ourselves, so drinks were served promptly. The speaker system is really good that you dont need a DJ. Will be going back next year .
Stunning Venue, Incredible drinks and the staff just make you feel so welcome!
Place is nice, staff is welcoming, have QR code for quick order from menu unfortunately order didnt go through even though got comfirmation on screen and been waiting for it. Ordered Frozen strawberry daiquiry it came fully liquid not frozen at all. There are some places to improve. Best of luck
bad service, we havent even been served. When asked to clean a table, no one came. Dont recomend
Bad drinks, poor service, extremely rude manager
Amazing place atmosphere is so lovely. Plenty of ways to order. Staff are so friendly and always checking on you to make sure you are ok and if you would like any more drinks or anything.
We had a lovely cocktails, we could order through a QR code, or by table table service we went for the table service the waitress was very helpful and drinks came quickly, considering how busy they were last night all staff was friendly
Friendly staff, amazing atmosphere, very nice cocktails
Amazing cocktails, beautiful venue and very friendly staff!
Had a great night , buzzing atmosphere, friendly staff , could order drinks from the QR code on table menu , wife enjoyed the cocktails, nice relaxing evening.
Love this place, arguably the best bar in the city centre, great service with friendly staff, not to mention the basement what an atmosphere!
Highly recommend! Beautiful bar, friendly staff and amazing drinks!
Fantastic place , a credit to the owners, Adam and Ang Davis, Perfect place for a great night out , can t wait to visit again , Lovely decor and ambiance .
great atmosphere, during the day its relaxing and the coffee is the best in town, they are starting to do food which is really nice. during the evening the place comes alive. different events which I havent managed to see yet but friends have said are really good. the only thing I noticed early on was problems with were staffing level and trouble producing there great cocktails quick enough, but they said they are working hard to resolve this and it was early days and they are working hard to get it right. in all i think its a great place to visit
Had the best time at comedy night and will definitely be going again, the staff were lovely, venue Is beautiful, cocktails were amazing and there is a huge list of cocktails to choose from which are all done fresh. Cant wait to visit with my children for a bite of lunch and milkshakes... Ill update on the food and milkshakes after weve been! All in all brilliant place
Such a beautiful place to sit and have a coffee! The music and atmosphere is so nice and there isnt any where like it that Ive found in Peterborough. They made the best coffee and staff were extremely attentative and welcoming. Cant wait to visit again and see some live music and films! X
Best cocktails in town! Amazing barmen ! Thank you so much! We definitely will be back
Really nice place to visit for a cocktail, Jake the bar manager is exceptionally well-versed in the art of mixology, and Grant was really friendly. Definitely my new place to go for a good quality drink and great service. I look forward to coming in the day for a coffee!
Awesome place - and one of my favourite places to spend the day with my laptop whilst enjoying a cold beer. Great selection of drinks, and the food is brilliant at such good value. The whole team at Bijou are so friendly, such a welcoming atmosphere, specifically Sinita, Chelsea & Grant To add - In the heat, the aircon was a life saver!
Had 4 staff on on a thursday lunchtime all getting in each others way. They put bitters in my Negroni for some strange reason which basically rendered it undrinkable (even though they were on the laptop looking up a recipe). Nicely priced though. I really want new ventures and bars to succeed in P-town but it seems doomed already. Tapas and Paninis? I would of loved to have been in that meeting. Jesus. Ill have a Cosmo and a jacket potato with beanz please mate.
Went at lunchtime today. The QR code not working, no problem. Eventually the waitress came over, took our order for drinks and food. Forty minutes later nothing had arrived despite her telling us that is wouldn t be long. The drinks surely could have been served to us, whilst waiting for the food. My food arrived, looked really nice and well presented my drink arrived two minutes later, as did my knife and fork! The filling in my panini was not what I ordered but couldn t be bothered to get it changed as I had waited so long. My daughters food and drink arrived about 5 minutes later, again looked lovely and well Presented. Within 2 minutes of her being served the waitress came over with the card machine for payment. This we found really strange, whilst we were still eating. She didn t ask if our food was ok but I mentioned to her that my food was not what I ordered and that for future it was something to be aware of, her reply was just a sorry about that Such a shame as the food was nice and the actual place seemed really nice. Just very poor service.
We came to Bijou for the first time today to watch the minions movie at the kids cinema club and it was amazing! The children had the best time and the treats and drinks are a lovely gesture! We will definitely be coming back to watch some more movies! Will be recommending to friends and family
Went to watch Minions at the Bijou junior cinema club. Well worth the £2 entrance fee per child (adults free) and the kids got a drink and some sweets (quite a decent sized bag). Loved the basement atmosphere. Definitely would do again.
A lovely ambience, good choice of cocktails and mocktails. A bit expensive but a nice venue
We have been here twice since Bijou opened and on both occasions our experience was amazing. Last time we came for the afternoon kids cinema. Wow, what a great idea and an absolute bargain too: a drink and a bag of sweets was included in the ticket price, our little boy was over the moon! We, as parents, had a lovely time too, while our little one was watching the film, we had some food and a few cocktails. The cocktails were absolutely delicious. The place is stylish, clean and welcoming. We will definitely come again!
A classy and cosy bar/loungr with very tasty cocktails and live music events. Spread over 3 floors that are themed differently, which is cool. I was tempted to give it 4 stars due to the fact the seating is quite close together and offers little privacy, but since its Peterborough, this place stands out.
First visit to bijou and unfortunately it was disappointing. We visited for a cinema night and to be honest our visit was pretty terrible from the get go. When we arrived a waitress (who was very pleasant but a little flustered) told us to take a seat and informed us she would be over momentarily. We waited a while and eventually went to the bar where she asked us if we had ordered a drink we obviously hadn t as she had not come to the table. When we got downstairs for the cinema event, there seemed to be a bit of confusion with seating arrangements with who did and didn t request a booth. The seating was bad so the screen was barely visible and the sound levels were CRAZY LOUD. We ordered pizza which was £10 which we expected would be a good portion so we were quite surprised when two slices of pizza came over. Just a little over the size of a slice of bread, When we mentioned this to our waitress she advised that she would speak to her manager. Her manager eventually came downstairs to see us and had the worst attitude towards our worries. We simply wanted to let them know that the advertised pints of Pepsi (£3.75) were not served in pint glasses and that the pizza was grossly overpriced in proportion to the serving. He was very rude and said things like well I don t make the prices and shrugged his shoulders. He also said well apparently that is a pint glass, that s what they sent us he was not a good ambassador for this company at all and made us feel very uncomfortable. We eventually left half way through the film as we were quite disappointed another group also left before us. Having worked in hospitality for over 10 years I would absolutely recommend a lot more training for all staff. If this is the quality of service that is deemed acceptable then this venture will not last very long.
As we were passing thought it looked nice and seemed popular, looked at menu and sat outside, staff were all really friendly, food was delicious. Both had jacket potato and a beer. Great value and portions good. Went back the following day but they were not serving food till later and we had a train to catch. Well be back again on our next visit to Peterborough.
Lovely
Nice place nice decor staff friendly decent location cocktail which I had was amazing maybe a tad pricey but then nothing is cheap these day will be going again soon
Fabulous
Super places to rest from everyday hustle and bustle.
Great night out, stayed pretty much all night and had excellent cocktails upstairs with a group of friends. Later on in the evening one staff member even made us nachos when the kitchen had closed. Very nice touch, and staff go the extra mile. (Thanks Libby). . All in all great quality at an excellent price, we will be back.
Visited for the first time and was absolutely appalled by the poor customer service. I ordered a chilli and bean ciabatta from the vegetarian option. And was given a beef ciabatta instead. Upon questioning the chef, he said oh must ve been a beef one. I cannot eat meat and he stated oh it s halal where there is no advertisement of that anywhere, not that it matters regardless. Blatant discrimination. The waiter gave a half-hearted sorry and asked to replace it if I want . They did take it off the bill and stated he ll take everything off the bill but then said he was being sarcastic . The juice was not fresh but tasted shop bought. Overall, no remorse, awful attitude and slow service.
Visited with my friend this evening and the chef was absolutely appalling. Who is sarcastic to a paying customer? Disgusting service.
Was excited to go but disappointed with drinks and service is strange set up, waitresses didnt know what drinks they were serving and the drinks were poorly made. getting the bill was difficult they didnt seem to keep track of what you had ordered. music was good though
A few of us went here around a month ago, get rid of the sarcastic little prat of a manager before someone squeezes the very breath out of his body. This would probably happen outside where he spends most of his time vaping.
Fantastic night out. Great vibes with live band, loving the new shots and shooters drink range. Cant wait to come again! Thankyou
We attended a wedding party. We had fun, they served us well.
Not a bad place x the cocktails were really lovely, will definitely come back for happy hour.
I booked The Snugg area for a small party for my wife s birthday at Bijou. The booking process was easy, with great communication from Bijou throughout, and the price was exceptionally reasonable. On arrival the room had been set up as requested and is well decorated and spotlessly clean. The service throughout the evening was exceptional, and the team of staff were personable, efficient and friendly. All the drinks were of the highest quality with the cocktails and mocktails being a huge hit with the guests I had invited. I regularly use Bijou for daytime coffee, but will certainly be looking to hire them as a venue again in the future. I genuinely can t fault them in any way, and highly recommend you go and enjoy their venue!
Great night at Bijou for my birthday, unfortunately the comedy night was cancelled but the staff were absolutely lovely and the live music was excellent.
