We came to longplay as friend recommended. The decor inside, ambiance and food was nice. But it wasn't value for money unfortunately we left hungry and very out of pocket. Mains could of came with a side of bread or small roasted potatoes maybe a small dip whilst waiting. But of reassessment needed with pricing I feel.

Longplay really does tick all of the boxes. The Special Edition menu is filled with variety and each dish perfectly accompanies the next, highly recommend! The wine list is extensive, and you will no doubt learn something new as well. My favorite part is the ambience created by the audiophile Soundsystem and vinyl that is played during the evening.

A quiet catch up between three friends. The recently expanded menu was a treat. Highlights were the beetroot and the calamari from the grill. Always good, always worth the effort. If you haven't been there...why not?
