Amazing place to celebrate my 23rd birthday with friends. Marco did a fantastic job with arranging the event, was always incredibly quick to respond and catered perfectly to my specific needs. Will managed everything seamlessly on the day, and was a great guy to talk to (as well as being super efficient). At the bar, Thomas and Laura were lovely, making a wide range of cocktails for everyone, and even gave me a masterclass behind the bar! Music was also great. Thanks to the brilliant team at Lockes, everyone really enjoyed the experience, and I can't recommend them more highly :)

I can’t recommend this place enough. Delicious food and cocktails and 5 star service from the excellent and friendly staff. I had my birthday here recently with around 60 people. We were all treated like celebrities!! Thank you to everyone for making it such a special occasion.

I celebrated my birthday on a Friday evening. Everything about Lockes was amazing! The pizzas were delicious (Diavola, Burrata, and Cotto and Funghi). The drinks and cocktails were really tasty and reasonably priced! It was quite busy when we got there but we were sat downstairs and the atmosphere was great with really good music! The best part of the night were the staff. Special shoutout to Laura, Will and Thomas for being amazing and super kind to me the entire night! Everyone went out of their way to ensure everything was flowing smoothly.
