Apparently the door between the outdoor smokers section 'slams' when they close it...so they just leave it open all the time, this results in the place reeking of cigarette smoke whilst you eat. The bottomless is not table service - you have to go up to the bar each time you need a drink...this would be ok, if it wasn't limited to just one drink per person - so every single person at the table has to go up and get their own drink EVERY time which just kills the flow. The food included in the bottomless is deep fried awfulness and chips. We didn't do the steak night...however that looked like a much better option.

Would not recommend the bottomless sessions, the cocktails came from taps and had minimal alcohol in them, the wine was undrinkable as was the pint we had ordered. The food wasn’t great, one piece each on the sharing platter. I’ve experienced much better bottomless sessions else where. Left the session more sober than we started after multiple cocktails.

We were shown to a comfortable seat, given individual aircon because we arrived a little overheated and the steaks were amazing for the money!
