Myself and my partner only came here for a hour (as we had other places booked) but we wished we had stayed longer! We had amazing cider, and the food was phenomenal. We sat outside, and we adored the decor both inside and out. Can’t wait to come back, and we are both highly recommending the pitt to our friends. The only thing we would possibly change, would be the £2 entry fee each.

I didnt see if there was any high chairs available for kiddies. If it's going to be a place suitable to bring along kids high chairs would be great or lower tables for in the warehouse as it's more easier to sit a kid on your lap when the table is lower. This all might be available on request but I'm under assumption that they arent as there was no offer when I emailed or when we came along. Apologies if it is and I'll just ask the next time. Other than those things everything relating to covid safety and how food ordering worked was was clearly laid out and explained and the staff were brilliant.

The Pitt has been a lifesaver during lockdown. Feels very safe as it is so big and airy and I appreciate that they leave doors open to generate air flow. Plus the food is amazing! I especially love the fab veggie food from the likes of FacePlant and Soulfood . Beers great too!

Really great idea. Felt like something special and different during the pandemic. Liked that you could book a range of different things and they were brought to you rather than everyone queuing at a different van. Would like to have been able to linger a bit longer but get that you need to make it work economically. Felt like it was safe and clean. Thanks!

The food and service were fantastic! Definitely planning to come back. It would be nice to know on your booking form how many people the outdoor tables can hold - we sat indoors which was fine but didn’t realize when booking that you also had outdoor tables - so clarity around that would be helpful. For large groups, if tables could be booked for 2 hours vs 1.5 hours that would be nice, if possible. The music inside was a little on the loud side so it made it hard to hear everyone at the other end of the table (we were a party of 8). Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves and had a great time - your staff are wonderful and the food was delicious! Thank you!

This was my first experience of eating/drinking out since before lockdown and it was really great. The tables felt really spaced out and dividers were in place so we felt very safe and comfortable. Ordering via the QR code on the table was super easy and our drinks and food were brought over quickly. Also food was as delicious as ever - was very happy to be back at The Pitt!

Bench tables fit 8 people, but when this is two separate parties it means you are both a bit crammed and sitting particularly close to the next group. Not sure the barrier between groups will be particularly effective but the space itself is quite open and airy. The food comes from different vans/stalls so does mean you get served in a generally haphazard way - fries before burgers and members of the party served at quite different times. As always, quality is good - but tends to be on the pricier side of 'value for money'.

well, we booked a table inside, but as it turned out it was a sunny day. I asked if we could move outdoors if there was room (& there seemed to be) but was told that as we had ordered food inside we would have to eat it there. We wanted to move outside with our drinks after but it all seemed a bit complicated. No background music is also a real bummer. Service was great and nobody to blame, but the system is very inflexible. we'll just turn up & try for a table outside next time...

We had a great time on Saturday loved the venue however, was slightly disappointed with choice of menu. Felt it didn't have enough variety or choice for vegetarians - unsure if that was just because we were a 8.30 booking and things had ran out or Covid limiting bigger menus atm. Also dessert wise was poor with the majority containing Coffee... yuk. we had to question 4 different staff about a drink order that was forgotten about at the very start of the night. appreciate that you guys are just getting back on your feet and look forward to my next visit as we had an enjoyable night regardless just wanted to provide you with genuine feedback.

Love the Pitt but it was unfortunate that everything we initially ordered they didn’t have as stalls closed or ran out at the bar (not as annoying). Would be great to be told if a food stall is closing soon on arrrival (we had a table for 4:30). Otherwise it was a good evening and looking forward to normal times at the Pitt!

We've been to the pitt before for food and drinks. I looked at the menu posted on instagram to check for gluten free items as my mum can't have gluten. There seemed to be several.options, but when we got to the pitt, the menu we were provided (which had the same food on it) hardly had any non meat gluten free options (basically chips). Very frustrating that the menu advertised didn't match the menu when we got there so my mum ended up having chips for lunch. The staff were really helpful in trying to find something for us and the food was good, but I wouldn't come back with anyone who has dietary requirements incase the same thing happens again and they can't eat very much.

Service was great. But we were stuck in the least desirable corner next to the service area, so not much of an ambiance. And with empty tables around, not sure why we were put there. Ordered the grilled romaine. Impossible to eat with hands, but no knife available. Barney's ipa was good as usual and service was positive and quick.

I think the app needs updating, it needs a option to add notes to your order. Eg remove a sauce from a burger. Also some of our orders took much longer than others. Overall good experience. Lots of drink options and the food was tasty.
