We visited Henry’s as part of their soft opening weekend. Although the food on the hole was good we found there are a lot of teething issues that need addressing in order for this restaurant to become a success. We arrived at 3pm and only left after around 6pm we waited long periods for both service and food having to go to the bar several times to ask for service and for our table to be cleared, although I appreciate there was only 2-3 staff on the floor it was small things like setting other tables whilst we where clearly sat waiting for the table to be cleared to order out desserts etc I feel more training and more staff is in order. The food itself although good the portion sizes where small for the prices paid, you have to remember their local competition for this kind of food is hickory’s in both penwortham and Fleetwood way although more experience the portions are huge. I also felt the place lacked atmosphere? Some music playing in the background to add to the theming such as southern rock and roll would have added to this it was very silent at times and didn’t add to the experience. We may return in the future but it won’t be for a few months until the teething issue are ironed out.
