The Dry Spy - Taking you back to the roaring '20s with the finest cocktail selection, great tasting food and unrivalled atmosphere. As well as decadent Art Deco inspired decor, The Dry Spy also has stunning gardens with amazing views and the best covered rooftop terrace for miles around. Perfect for families, couples or celebrations come on in and experience our unique venue.
The Dry Spy has a sort of Great Gatsby mixed with Speakeasy vibe to it. Really nice interior and great looking drinks menu, with a great range of cocktails and beers, plus their special cider which goes down well. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, I would not recommend going if you do not enjoy relatively loud music! The servers were all polite and accommodating, and although they brought out one or two wrong things, they rectified this in a timely manner. The only drawback to this place was the food. The food servings are quite small in size, and was unfortunately a bit bland. The presentation was immaculate, but I'd have expected a bit more of a richer taste with the smaller servings. (Please note I have heard wonderful things about their Sunday dinners on the other hand, just to bare in mind). Summary: great place for a vibrant, lovely atmosphere and great bar, but food could be improved.
Visited on a Friday night. Atmosphere and vibe is great. Good selection of drinks. Food however was a bit underwhelming and didn’t represent the best value. The waitress also made a mistake on the food order meaning we were brought the wrong fish dish which was rectified within a few minutes. We just missed the live music. Will return for drinks and entertainment like music and given the good reviews of Sunday lunch may try that some time but won’t be rushing back for the a la carte. Shame as execution of the food seems to be the common thing letting the side down when otherwise everything else if about right.
We made our second visit to the Dry Spy this year, on one of their event evenings. We were there for ‘Magic at the Table’ with a set 2 (£16.95) or 3 (£22.95) course menu. 3 choices were on offer for each course. The magician Wayne Humpries was amazing with his sleight of hand card tricks and banter 100% recommend him. The drinks were outstanding and the food was good although gunpowder potatoes were a little under cooked and not spicy but the sea bass and the beef pot pie were delicious. Gravies were a little too salty for our tastes but the drinks helped there! The staff are brilliant and the venue is lovely but there weren’t many patrons which was a shame. We felt that better advertising would help tremendously. I signed up as a club member at the end of last year but have received no event information and we only knew about this event due to a flyer picked up on our last visit. The open table booking system works well, however the information on the venues website is lacking in detail about each event. A proposed menu and descriptions of the events would offer clarity and I suspect many more bookings. All in all we had a wonderful time and we look forward to our next visit with excited anticipation.
My first visit to the The Dry Spy. Very impressed, great atmosphere. Emily who looked after us was fab, making sure we had everything we needed. Even accommodated moving our table to a more desirable location. Will definitely come again!
Loved it. We had the pleasure of a 'bottomless brunch' here recently. We had not been previously and booked it on a last-minute impulse. We were not disappointed . Once the menu options had been explained we enjoyed a 'full English' plate which was a smaller version of the traditional breakfast made with top quality ingredients. The advantage of the smaller plate is that the menu also provides sweet breakfast options. We chose the blueberry pancakes and French toast with lemon curd, both with thick Greek yoghurt. Drinks were included and we enjoyed a variety of mocktails. Superb food, attentive friendly service.
