    Great food and fantastic service. So genuine and so happy and you made us feel welcome. Special thanks for the Cauliflower Cheese, a really nice touch, but above all else, it’s bloody fantastic. Thanks very much

    Noisy with tables too close to each other. Very little choice for those of us with Coeliac disease. Allergen menu stated which foods were gluten free but no reference given to the fact that foods with and without gluten were fried in the same oil eg chips. Food was ok but certainly not special or hot enough. Our meal was made a lot better due to our excellent waiter who worked incredibly hard, communicated well, understood my food allergy and even offered to take a photo at the end of our meal. Sadly I did not take his name but full marks to him!
