Food was lovely, but expensive (as is everywhere these days) and cocktails buy 2 for £16 not too bad a price. No table service so have to go to the bar to order food and drink. Staff weren't very enthusiastic or welcoming. Although I did get a free drink no one claimed! Thank you! There's was a DJ but no one was dancing and hardly anyone in the bar (Friday night). Such a shame because it used to be banging when it was Dancing Moose. The music was loud and dancy, it could have done with being more suitable for background music whilst everyone was eating.
