This is the first time I have ever been here, didn't even know it existed!! The actual entrance is around the back not on the high street, this means that parking can be problematic, If you are lucky you will find somewhere on the side roads which have no yellow lines. There is a car park next to the venue, however it belongs to the offices near by so park there at your own risk. It strikes me as a good venue for artists and audiences alike. The artists can perform in an environment which allows for a certain amount of intimacy.
There is a bar area which has seats, so if you prefer to be near the bar and watch the show you can, however there is a glass screen between the bar area and the main floor so what you would hear I don't know.
The food they serve is to cater for a wide range of tastes, fish & chips, jerk chicken (which if you are like me needs some proper spice to it) and some salads. The portion size was good and i did not feel the need for desert, although nothing took my fancy!!
They had the usual variety of wines, beers, sprits along with some cocktails. The time it took to get served was ok no long waits and it was packed. Its always nice to not have to go to the bar to order your drinks so the table service was very much appreciated!!
We witnessed Michelle John, who I had not seen on the Voice and she most certainly can sing!! -

Excellent place for dinner and show for the weekend. We enjoyed the Sunday roast plus dessert. The jazz show was fun and entertaining.

The music was a little bit loud, we waited a long time to be served, my boyfriend's burger had just half of a chicken breast and was very dry... In general, I think it is expensive for what you get, but my pork was nice.

Wonderful place if you come here to enjoy the music, some drink, lovely food and have a good evening. It's a 'evening out' kinda place.
Dinner was delicious. For starter I had a lovely halloumi tart. For main a delicious HUGE potato and salmon fish cakes with yummy yam (sweet potato) fries. Everything was pretty decently priced except I felt the fries were a little steep.
The night was lovely, the music was great, the decor and lights very atmospheric. Only a few down points really, the tables are very close together to squeeze people in. You have to walk in aisle grid formation to get anywhere and it's very tight single file one way type of situation. But easily manageable. The staff are extremely busy but most are lovely and very sweet working hard. The 'shhushing' by staff was a little distracting during the performances and put a bit of a 'on edge' to the atmosphere. I felt there were many structures like this that were put into place for reasons and experience of past situations (another being staff collecting payment during the performance.)
Before you know it you've been sat in Hideaway for 5 and a half hours but it feels like you've been there 2. It's a kind of liminal space you disappear into.
