Pair it with your choice of fusion fries or a loaded spud masterpiece, stacked high and dripping with flavor. It’s carbs, chaos, and cocktails. What more could you want? Grab your gang and get your brunch on—because boring brunch is so last season. Terms & Conditions – Read Me, Gorgeous: Classy but Sassy Dress Code: We love a vibe! Think smart casual with flair—dress to impress, not to nap. No sportswear, scruffy trainers, or anything your nan would tut at. Time Limits: Bottomless lasts 90 minutes, but your table time may vary depending on party size. We’ll confirm that when you book. Late to the Party? Your 90-minute countdown starts at your booking time, not when you walk in—so hustle up, brunch waits for no one. One at a Time, Hun: Drinks are unlimited but it’s one per person at a time. Pace yourself—it’s a brunch, not a race. Be Nice or Be Cut Off: We’re here for good times only. Anyone being rude, abusive, foul-mouthed or visibly too drunk will be cut off. No second chances—we brunch with class. Drink responsibly, eat gloriously, and keep it cute. 🥂

    Was disappointed as some of the menu was not available so left with mainly pizza, burgers. Had we had known we wouldn't have gone. Ordered starters and main and it all came together. One of the meals they forgot so left waiting until i let them know, by that time everyone else had eaten. Although they were very apologetic and took it off the final bill.

    A bit disappointed as some of the options for mains was not available and was looking forward to their slow cooked lamb shank. Had the lamb quesadilla they were ok. The started were really nice . The service was brilliant. Noise levels were a bit too much.

    Really disappointing no mains available from the menu not told on entry and only told after ordering. Really poor service, person we dealt with not very attentive and poor communication between staff from the outset.

    No main meals available which we weren't told about until after we had ordered and received drinks and were trying to order food. If we had known earlier we might have gone elsewhere. Plus on blue light site says you can use your bluelight card for discount but staff and manager said no you can't.
