The Regent shines brightly for its impressive food quality and a fantastic draft beer selection.

The casual atmosphere welcomes diners of all types—whether enjoying a solo meal or dining in groups. Happy hour is a hit, drawing a crowd for both food and drinks specials. Many patrons appreciate the free Wi-Fi and the ability to bring along dogs, adding to the friendly vibe.

Most Disliked
Some guests note inconsistencies in service timing, particularly during peak hours. While the atmosphere is generally welcoming, reviews mention that crowded evenings can lead to longer wait times, especially on quiz nights. A few also remarked on occasional noise levels during live performances, making conversations harder. Despite the generally clean setting, there are sporadic mentions of areas that could use more attention during busy shifts. Reservation policies could also pose challenges during peak times; planning ahead is recommended to ensure a seamless dining experience, particularly on Thursday evenings when it reaches full capacity.

First time since it changed hands and really impressed. The food is lovely and well worth the money. Atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. We did have to wait a while but that's not always the case. Clean and friendly.

Me and my friend nipped in for a coffee whilst we were in Kirkby, good location, plenty of room and seats to choose from, went in with our babies and had a couple of nice hot drinks (help yourself and unlimited). Would definitely return again.

A new and updated review of a well love spot of mine. The Regent has recently redone their food menu and after eating there recently I am absolutely blown away by the quality of the food. The lamb shank is a particular favourite of mine and I must say it was divine. Also.... New carpets! The place has been changing ever since ownership changed hands and I am loving the vibes here.

Great Wetherspoons Pub which used to be a cinema. It has a stylish interior with some film posters a throwback to its past history. Good quality food and beer and good service from staff. Very clean. Good central location and close to car parks.

Some lean in, deep in conversation, while others share easy laughter, their voices blending with the gentle hum of music playing in the background. It’s the perfect setting to unwind, savoring good company and refreshing drinks as the evening unfolds.
