    We ordered a chicken starter and it came pink still and I was told it was veins but it wasn’t it was pink so sent it back and didn’t want a replacement, overall service was ok, I also tried to order the club sandwich and take something out of it and was told I couldn’t do that because the sandwich was already pre made and just heated up but they are charging nearly £20 for a sandwich that isn’t fresh, overall service was okay by food was a bit of a disappointment for the price.

    This was dinner before theatre so we really appreciated the very fast service. Easy to book, and the service was exemplary - very professional and friendly. I was initially worried that being upstairs, we would be neglected, but we had 2 very attentive servers who were terrific - thank you!
