Awesome starters (we had calamari and arancini balls) and the meat lovers pizza was also fabulous - great selection of wine (both by the glass and bottle) as well draught beer. We were the first to arrive (at 5.30pm) but by the time we left (7.15pm) the place was pumping !

Amazing as always. I’ve brought many friends and family here over the last year and I’ve never been disappointed. We ordered the prawn toast (highly recommended), the poached half chicken and pork ribs. All of it was great and we left very full. There was an issue with the wifi also there was no background music but we were talking all night so it didn’t matter. Friendly service and staff were accommodating. Love the venue and will continue to come back so long as the food, staff and overall experience stays as good as it always is.
