    Great brunch sport and incredibly well located. Great choices non alcoholic cocktails. The experience/date was made even more special by our wonderful host / server Mitch. So attentive, friendly and got everything spot on.

    This is the second time we have eaten here, and it was even better than the first time! Great service, outstanding food, and for me as a vegetarian who is sick of being offered mushroom dishes in venues, it was a refreshing change! Such a lovely tasty menu. It’s got a great vibe, loved it and will be back! My husband had lamb shank and said it was the best he had ever tasted

    Fantastic service, we arrived early and were seated immediately. They knew we were between shows and had a limited time so were attentive and efficient in our service. Fabulous food- fish and chips were amazing and the curry sauce delicious! Great value for money and a vibrant atmosphere. We will be back!

    We had a lovely lunch. The portions were super big and v much welcomed. All starters could have come at the same time though. Gravy should have been served in a bigger gravy bowl instead of having to ask numerous times and it being presented in a miniature one/s. Our server was v chatty and friendl

    This is my 3rd time here in 6 months and to be honest time was disappointing. I'd like to think we caught them on a bad day as the service and food previously was outstanding. However, from the go they kept making errors. Drinks order asked for line and soda and got a soda with a wedge if lime🙄! Starters arrived but they forgot the knives and forks ( had to ask for them after ten minutes,) my husbands main arrived it was meant to be ham and eggs. The reality was a pork chop on the bone with fried egg and gravy!! Last I checked that's the wrong cut of meat!! ( Gammon would have been more appropriate) Mine on the other hand was beer battered Fish & Chips, swimming in oil on the plate and dripping over the table it had clearly been left in the fryer too long as the batter was burnt and then half way through the main they started cleaning the table beside us only for them to spray me with cleaning fluid not once but twice!! Not a great day for you guys.
