Came here on a recommendation, and I have to say I left disappointed. Service was lovely, and the diner atmosphere is cute, but the food was much to be desired.

Tried Founders for lunch. It is a big venue and did not have many customers. The service was very accommodating and when the Thai beef salad arrived we were offered to take home what we could not eat. It was an enormous plate of food and very delicious. My cup of Sencha Green Tea was served very elegantly. We would be happy to go again.

Value for money, tasty meal. Chose the wrong choice of cooking preferance for my type of steak, so it was a little too dark for my liking, but everyone else had a wonderful meal. Service was friendly and prompt. Pricing was pleasantly cheap to mid range.

We dine on Sunday lunchtime and not so many people and yet a surprise to see biggest chicken parmi i ever seen.. The serving is huge, so huge that I had to take away half of the meal. Nice coffee too, almost no waiting time and orders were quickly served. Highly recommend to try this out in Lara.

Arrived at this quaint little spot in Lara around 6, ordered dinner around 6.15. 7.05 asked waitress how long our dinner would be. Promptly got told “Long oven time takes longer” ah excuse me…never heard that one before. Anyway around 7.20 we all got our food except for two of our group..they forgot them..another ten minutes and they were served. Partners burger cold when she got it, blue steak practically raw, lasagne debatable. Younger waitress with glasses asks how everything going. I state not happy with service and she apologises which was better than our first response. What made this even worse is we were one of the first tables ordered and last to get our meals. People who walked in half hour after us were fed first and then to top it all off, after our table had been served (the last table) we watched as they packed take away containers into paper bags for take aways. Not happy with the food service at all…Trivia was fun and entertaining. Bar man excellent. Singer funny as and great voice, Host excellent. This is a very nice venue and entertainment awesome but the chefs need to really get on the ball and serve tables accordingly.

Had the Burrito bowl from the menu and it was absolutely awful. The Burrito was dry and burnt and the whole dish had any flavour. It was officially the worst dish I had in a long time. It took ages for the food to come as well. Majority from the group were unhappy with their meals. Few of them were stone cold when the food arrived on the table. Overall a really bad experience. Neve to go back there again.

I attended an event here with dinner and a show and I can’t fault either. Dinner was gorgeous and cooked to perfection. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the place ran in a timely manner. It’s not a huge place but cosy and intimate – perfect for date night.

The food is good and portions generous. Limited space and drink selection but overall adequate. Prices good for these days especially Tuesday specials. Can be busy which slows down the kitchen but worth the wait. Generally good staff also. There is a silly ground rail at the back of the outside ramp that’s going to trip someone one day. Been there long before Founders but needs addressing. Overall good little place…

Delicious food, hand cut chips to die for, wonderful staff and service. Great for take-away too. Imagine good quality pub meals lifted to a whole new level.

Absolutely amazing. My sister is coeliac so we went here on the recommendation of a gluten free FB group. Was not disappointed.
