   It was a busy time so would recommend booking. Drinks were offered promptly and politely, we were given menus. Chose and ordered our food, Firemans sharing platter, with extra dishes fries were out of this world . Our waitress Olivia was exceptional, so helpful, our daughter is allergic to nuts and she reassured us and made sure the kitchen was fully aware. Fab time cant wait to come back

   Enjoyed our first visit. Super handy for the theatre. Food excellent & reasonable price. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful, It was very busy & buzzy atmosphere but the down side was it was a struggle to hear each other & the bar staff were really busy, mix up with our drinks order & we waited ages for 1 of the drinks. I was grateful we had table service, the bar looked packed . Overall enjoyed it & would go again 😊

   Friendly staff and interestingly curated interior, but food is very overpriced. £16 for a very average vegan burger and chips (incidentally an extra £1 for chunky chips) and a few leaves and seeds. Chicken escalope for £18 was ok but not really worth the price. Overall, nice staff and an interior but very poor value for food.
