    This restaurant is where it was decided that my brother and sister-in-law would have their wedding…read moremeal after they were married on this last weekend on Saturday. Basically split into two section, one half a bar/pub section and the other an area for eating and restaurant. There were around sixty or so people at this wedding meal, and I'm not sure Pissarros had the facilities to accommodate so many people at once. We got to the meal after coming from the church, taking pictures and running through the rain. We sat and waited to be served and talked among ourselves. The head table was served about 30 minutes after getting there, each table not getting their food until 10 - 20 minutes after the people on the last table. So there were two table who still didn't have anything to eat by the time the first three tables had finished! So we mingled and talked among ourselves and bought more drinks. Unfortunately having 60 people in such a small area meant it was extremely humid and getting hot. Although we asked for some fans to be turned on they weren't. Perhaps I'm used to having really good food in London, but the food didn't seem to be as good as it could be. Elle had a steak, chips and a side salad. I had a "big kahuna Cajun burger" with chips and mini ramekin with a grated salad in it. Our friend had the veggie burger, chips which ironically had NO side salad. The Steak was cooked perfectly, but was tough and difficult to get through, it was obviously sitting around a while and wasn't succulent and tasty like you'd want it to be. Chips were fine, and salad was good. We also had a side of olives. My big kahuna Cajun burger wasn't very spicy, I was hoping for more bite and spice to it. Would have been better with a few jalapenos thrown on top or something. The chips were ok, although I had about 5 and I gave my salad to the vegetarian at our table. The Veggie burger was ok, but there was a lot of bread with it and lots of chips too and no salad, which considering she was vegetarian was a little weird. No one had any dessert as we were supposed to go to a reception later at a club and eat cake, and other dessert there. Overall, the staff were pleasant and friendly, the food was pretty good and they tried their best with the problems of having 60 people packed into a small area, wheelchair access and lots of bouncy children who had to sit down for 6 hours and try to behave. The steak was a little on the expensive side, @ £17! The veggie and kahuna burgers were £9 and £9.50 each.

    Such a lovely place to go, relaxed and the food is such good value with a twist of special to every…read moredish. Very friendly staff. One of my favourite places to chill out after work.

    It's situated next to the town hall, cinema and main shopping centre and previously offered quite…read morepossibly the best all-day breakfast in town! I'm gutted to say that's been dropped from the day time menu but the quality of the food is still excellent. Run by a young family, it's cosy for friends, business meetings, or spot of lunch. They have a pool table and also regularly hold parties upstairs - both public and private. Outside area is perfect for people watching when the sun's out.

    They are awful had a delivery couple weeks ago and asked for no mustard as my wife is allergic but…read morethey ignored that and sent with mustard and then have a conversation with them on the phone just for them to lie. then today we try and order again just for the bar manager to phone up giving my wife attitude and shit down the phone and cancelling our order cos his staff messed up in the frist place. I wouldn't recommend this place to people if the bar manager can ring up giving verble abuse to my wife then the other staff will copy and be rude and disrespectful not to mention my wife has disabilities and now after that call and the way she was spoken to has really sent her on a downer and moda should be ashamed of themselves and need to put their staff thru proper training. They lack people skills there and the bar manager is meant to set an example but he has no people skills either. Moda has become a joke as it used to be a nice place
