Like the other venues of this brand, TGI Friday is more American diner than public house, but as someone has chosen to include it on this site I will review it.

My visit was at 22:20 two nights ago (Sunday) because some members of my group wanted a nightcap before retiring to the adjacent Premier Inn. After some discussion with the bouncers we were permitted to enter with the knowledge that we only had ten minutes to order. A glance at the menu revealed that the American classic mains were priced between £12 and £20. We decided to order a couple of portions of chips to complement a couple of bottles of beer, two cocktails and a coke for the lightweight. I thought that £26 was a steep mark up on the alcohol, but this is a restaurant and not a boozer so I suppose that was to be expected.

TGI Friday is aimed more towards the younger generation so I wasn’t surprised to see young couples and groups sitting around the large tables. I didn’t find this place offensive, but I prefer to dine with grownups and I like to have access to draught beer. This is the sort of place I would take the kids for dinner and they would love it.

As a restaurant I would rate this place 7/10 and as a pub I would rate it 1/10 so it is probably best not to bother rating it at all.
