The food and atmosphere were enjoyable, but the service seriously let the experience down. This is the glass they served water in to my four-year-old. I wouldn’t use this leaking rusty thing to water my plants. Serving anyone, let alone a child, with a glass in this condition is completely unacceptable.
Food was absolutely fantastic, the best chicken I had so far, so juicy and tender inside and crispy outside. Will definitely come back again
We enjoyed our food here. I particularly enjoyed the standard burger. It was very tasty and juicy and well complimented with pickles and sauces.
Great food. The burgers were well cooked and menu had great choice. The staff were great on. Meg looked after us today and she was warm, friendly and attentive.
Came in last minute as a group of 14 for a hen do and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating! Everyone loved the food, the staff were absolutely lovely and even gave the bride a shot on the house. The food came so fast too! Highly recommend
