The food looks quite fancy with coloured syrup patterns etc; We love colour and pretty things so thought they looked great, though those used to fancy fine dining might think it a bit garish and childish. Cosy little place with low lighting, a very romantic, boudoir feel. They have the "everyone must order something" rule. Staff could be a lot... More

I have heard people rave about Spats for years. I recently went with a friend on a saturday night and was very disappointed. I ordered the brandy basket.

I visited Spats on a Thursday evening around 9pm. The place was very busy and we were seated at a table upstairs. As other reviewers have commented it is a very interesting interior.

Dark and very old fashioned (and dinky) interior, definitely not romantic. Desserts are huge but tend to be overdosed with cream. More

Okay for late night coffee and a chat but little else. The staff just go through the motions nd the menu is out dated. Needs a total revamp and some lighting! More
