An empty restaurant need I say more! Didn’t eat in the end they don’t understand the difference between an intolerance and an allergy to food! Don’t bother with the place totally empty on a Thursday evening there must be something very wrong. With the place!

I booked last minute for myself and a friend on a Saturday. I was welcomed straight away and taken to my seat. I never had to wait too long to order anything and the service from the staff was superb. There was quite a large menu with quite a few options and when ordering they were happy to accommodate any requests. Food was lovely when it came and didn’t take very long to come. Overall a very enjoyable experience and would 100% recommend.

How have we not discovered this place before? It was really quiet, not many people know about this place but the food was outstanding and brilliant value, too! We will definitely be coming back here again. The chicken was delicious and my husband and I are already planning our next date night to include this place.

Lovely restaurant, very ambient, good choice on the menu and staff very friendly and attentive. Brought a lovely birthday brownie for my daughter. The only downside was it didn't seem like the food was fresh. Chicken seemed like it had ben reheated/cooked or maybe just stood there too long before being served. But still a nice restaurant.

Thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed your visit. All the chicken from our kitchen is cooked fresh to order but I do apologise if it didn't taste fresh not sure what happened on the day. Hopefully you will be back again to try more of the menu.

A very unassuming place and hidden away at a hotel, but the food was amazing! Chicken wings were huge, crispy and the juiciest I've ever had, and the piece of chicken in the burger was huge, crispy and juicy. I'd highly recommend this place.
