    Excellent service from the moment we entered, Drinks arrived promptly and our order taken quickly. Changes for dietary requirements were not too much trouble. Service was efficient, quick and friendly.

    Very quiet, staff could have been a little more attentive considering how quiet the place was.

    Food was amazingly quick and very hot. The service was superb for our first experience in a long time. The only down side was that the gratuties which should be compulsory.

    We visited for my daughters birthday exactly a year after our first visited for the same occasion as she asked to go back. Last time service was fab, balloons, little giraffes on table for kids etc and great warm welcome. This time, although I’d prefer booked and said it was my daughters birthday no real effort had been made. Waiter was slow to get drinks order, had to keep chasing and then when drinks came only half came then 5 mins between rest. When ordering on kids meal my son ordered something that came with chips but my daughters didn’t so I asked whether we could just have a few extra fries on the side for her and was told that I needed to order a side portion which I felt was ridiculous given the size of our parties order so I mentioned this and was then but charged. I believe that there was supposed to be a kids eat free deal but having now looked at the bill we were charged £6.95 per child. Can this be refunded? Sad experience as was so impressed a year ago hence coming back. Quality of food was great, portions a little on the small side.

    We were a party of 2. Upon entering the first thing we saw was that the bar was littered with dirty glasses. We were then told there was a wait for food (not told how long), this was accepted as the restaurant didnt look overly busy. Ordered drinks which took about 15minutes to arrive. Our meals then took over an hour to come out and upon this both were lukewarm. We didnt want to swap for new meals as didnt know how long the wait would be to have a fresh meal. Did mention when asking for the bill and they took the cost of one meal off, grateful of the acknowledgement. Dont know if short staffed that particular day as we have had meals at other branches without any issues but this experience has completely put us off revisiting.

    Food was lovely and a nice range available on the menu. Service was terrible, 4 or 5 staff standing around whilst customers waiting to have tables cleared / get the bill etc. The only restaurant in the area that was empty on a busy Friday evening. Very put off by the mandatory service charge that we were not informed about until receiving the bill, especially as the service was so poor. Mid-range value wise but would not recommend or return to this restaurant.
