“I came here for the first time with a few friends,...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 23/07/2010

I came here for the first time with a few friends, immedietly the nice staff welcomed us in. They were more than helpful throughout.

We all ordered and the food was horrible and greasy and too much of it. what a waste.

Other than the staff everything was horrible, even then decor. looks like it hasn't been touched since the 1970's.

I do not reccommend anyone going!

STAY AWAY.

“We went to clowns Restaurant on Saturday and wont be...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ozfest on 07/06/2009

We went to clowns Restaurant on Saturday and wont be going back. I last went there about 3 years ago and numerous times before then and it was excellent. Not any more - after a short wait, out table was ready, but the place was only half full. We sat down near the kitchen area and the table next to us was still covered with the previous guests meals, although they were long gone.
Service ws OK, but still had to wait about 10 mins for a drink. Food has gone downhill although we didn't have to wait long for it. The final point that I need to make is that it's dirty, un-cleaned and has no atmosphere. I even caught the staff putting the ketchup we used back into a big container after we had finished - how disgusting! Shame used to be good

“I haven't been to Clown's Restaurant in years but I...”

★★☆☆☆

written by billybilly on 03/08/2008

I haven't been to Clown's Restaurant in years but I remember it being totally brilliant. I feel there is no atmosphere there anymore, the staff did not seem very happy and I was disappointed in the food quality. I'm not sure if this restaurant is under new management or something but it has lost its appeal with me. I think the decor is old now and does not seem to have been kept up with repairs... the toilets do not appear very nice. This used to be my favourite restaurant and I went every Saturday to this place with friends and family, it had queues out the door for tables but when we went it was barely half full. We will not be eating there again.

The old Clowns restaurant was of a good quality for a family meal. I can only think there must be a change in management or supplier as the quality of food had fallen. I definitely will not be eating here again.

★☆☆☆☆

written by Anomaly on 18/04/2005

This restaurant clearly is under new management and with it went the quality. The old Clowns was fantastic. The new Clowns is a different story. I went there for the first time in 2 years and found the tables to be filthy, the glasses caked in grease and the cutlery dirty.
Staff seem friendly enough and when I pointed out the problem with the utensils they provided clean stuff and blamed the dishwasher. Fine but it was so obvious they should have noticed. The menu appears to have changed as well. It is now so confusing as to have you sitting there for ages deciding what you want.
