I visited yesterday evening with my daughter and decided to try the tapas for a change .
What a delight!
The food was excellent and matched by the service!
It was a pleasure to meet the chef who brought the food - his enthusiasm for his work shone through and made the meal all the more enjoyable!
Well done!

Excellent customer service

This was my first order with Bents online. I had a couple of problems due to damage in transit, caused by rough handling of the packages. However, the reponse from the Bents customer service people in resolving the issues was first class. I would have no hesitation in buying again from Bents.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on our Online Store.

I understand a colleague from our Online Team has been trying to contact you to personally assist however please accept our sincere apologies for any delay in receiving your item.

Unfortunately as some products are delivered by Royal Mail we have no control over their delivery schedule despite posting via their 1st Class Recorded Delivery service.

However this does not detract from the disappointment and inconvenience you have experienced, so we should be most grateful if you would get in touch so we may resolve.

Once again thank you for your feedback and we hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards

Good price

My order came in three boxes, liquid in 5L bottles. They could have been wrapped better, one box had split and another a bit bashed. Not enough padding and more packing tape around would have helped.

Sunday stroll

Went to Bents yesterday for a walk around with my husband and the staff were all lovely the place is laid out lovely, But let me tell you about lunch; We went to the Tapas bar. We sat in the outside area and the gentleman behind the till gave me the heater remote is case there was chill, which i thought was very kind. We ordered 5 dishes, Hummus, pardon peppers, mushrooms, croquette and chorizo and all dishes were fantastic, couldn't find fault with any of them, I had a large Latte and my husband had a large glass of white wine and our whole lunch came to just over £40.00, which i think is a great price as all the dishes were perfect and we will be coming back soon. Thank you to the lovely Gentleman behind the till and all the restaurant staff for making our afternoon out a lovely one.

Ordering on line was very quick and easy. An email followed giving me a delivery date and time slot between 9 - 5. I would have expected to receive some notification of an approximate delivery time on the day. The driver telephoned to let me know that he was around 20 minutes away. No problem with the actual delivery I just feel at least a morning or afternoon time would help.
Very happy with the furniture.

Tea for Two

I bought an afternoon tea for two for my mum. It's arrived on a lovely card and to say she is delighted is an understatement. Bents is her favourite hang out place in the whole world so I have to go along with it!
