The food was very average for what is positioned as a premium price point, and unfortunately the quality didn’t justify the cost.
Service was also disappointing. Several tables were left uncleared for long periods, and after waiting 15 minutes for my order, I was told it was no longer available and had to choose something else.
While it was the end of what I assume was a busy Sunday service, arriving later in the day shouldn’t mean receiving below-par service or sitting among messy tables.
I’m sure the restaurant can be great, but on this occasion it didn’t encourage me to return. Paying €25 for shredded chicken or €26 for a Wagyu beef burger felt like premium pricing without the matching quality.

Had a great meal for me and the family on Sunday 29th December. Reserved a table for around 3 pm, wasn't full so maybe not necessary but by the time we left it was absolutely full. We all had starters, main courses and desserts and everybody was happy with their meal. We had a member of our party that couldnt make the stairs and they have a lift which was great (we were on the 2nd floor). We had a vegatarian with us and they were well catered for although there wasnt a huge selection for them to pick from. the lamb shank was partciularly scrumptious, falling off the bone and so tender. The desserts were good, with the gingerbread cheesecake a lovely way to end the meal, see the little gingerbread men in the attached pictures. All of our party were fully satisfied and didnt need to eat until the next day!!

We visited Batch Loaf for Sunday lunch after a confirmation ceremony, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with an elegant and cozy atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious – full of flavor, beautifully presented, and reasonably priced. We’ll definitely be coming back!
