    Rude welcome. Bar counter was full of dirty glasses next to our dining table. Beetroot salad with deep fried goats cheese… got green leaves with regular cold goats cheese no beetroot at all. Basic food basic staff service

    Sadly the food was very greasy and soggy fries! Cheese was melted in the microwave, continually using the exact same container over and over again!

    Those chicken wings are as good as ever. The food was very good overall , staff were very efficient & friendly. There was a great buzz, restaurant was fully booked, lots of people turned away. We enjoyed our meal immensely. A pretty much perfect start to our night.
