This place is fabulous bar a couple of minor details that dropped my rating on our visit. We were a last minute booking and immediately accommodated. Staff were initially attentive but as the night went on they became very busy & perhaps were understaffed? Our order took one hour & it was just as well there were games as we had children with us! We ordered the fondue & wow just wow - it was just as the other reviews say - it was epic & worth your while! Unfortunately we missed out on receiving prawns on ours & only remembered when we saw everyone else getting them. Staff gave us mixed information as to why we were missed out - we needed to pre order & they’d run out? Another staff member didn’t know why but thought ours looked about right in terms of the protein amount? Yes it did look fine & don’t get me wrong it was delicious but it was disappointing to have not received the prawns as part of ours (2 were ordered at our table) and to have not been notified on ordering it shortly after of the situation. The kids loved their food & it was presented beautifully. Adults drinks were great but unfortunately the lemon lime and bitters we bought for the kids was terrible & I’m not sure why they drank it as it tasted like soda & lime but they left it too late to tell us. Anyway, it is a great venue with great food & a cool atmosphere, just be sure to make sure you receive what you order & that the staff action any thing that’s not quite right x

We called with short notice on a Saturday night, for six of us, and even though they were very busy, they accommodated us extremely well!We had a drink first and were then shown to a great booth table, where we were encouraged to try their famous fondue. I could not recommend this higher, plenty of food and absolutely delicious!We all had a fantastic night and will definitely return again.Thanks Danny and team, you were great hosts.

The people were lovely but definitely a self-serve restaurant. Cheese fondue was WONDERFUL and after the first pint kids get a free drink. Unfortunately they gave away our table before our reservation time and tried to seat us outside. Then when a table cleared we asked if we could sit there instead but she said there was ANOTHER booking. Lovely place but took an hour and a bit for our food to come.

We have been here a couple of times in the last month and it has been fantastic each time. We had a fondue and it was amazing, what a great idea. We went for beats by bingo too and that was a brilliant night. Great staff, awesome cocktails epic food. Well done, we will be back.

Had another brilliant night out at the Retro, been a fan since they started out over in Addington. Food is always great, and good drinks selection. Great vibe.

I’m a regular here after my first experience here over 3 years ago… it’s got such a unique feeling, 70’s decor look and the food and atmosphere are amazing.The staff are so friendly and helpful. The live music on Friday nights is outstanding

Definitely not the cheapest place to eat but a good atmosphere with all the retro decor. Fondue was fun but a disappointing amount of meat for the price. We ordered a vegetarian pizza as well which was lovely and very filling. Pizzas are advertised as half a metre but that is the longest side of a rectangle. So don't expect a half metre diameter one which I did.

We were very lucky to be welcomed by the owner and were given a nice small tour for the place. We got a chance to try out table shuffleboard near the entrance. I do recommend the dessertChocolate fondue pot". Love the high view and open area. Its a good place to try at different times of the day. Sunday is board games day."
