If you want a great vibe from beginning to end - go to Neighbourhood Pizza. The energy is electric and the staff are young and vibrant. We had 2 pizzas and a rocket salad to share (3) and a glass of wine each - we were not disappointed. Arrived at 6.30 and knew had to leave table at 8 but was perfect for 3 work colleagues catching up. Would go again … and again.
