    Food was excellent, nine of us really enjoyed our meals. The food was served close together and the service was great. Hadn’t been for quite a while but will be back soon.

    Requested a table in quieter area due to son with sensory issues and they were very accommodating. Several celiacs in the group that were catered fir with GFO on the menu. One guest needed a custom meal due to recovering from oral surgery. Very accomodating to all our dietary needs and the atmosphere and the presentation was lovely. Staff were lovely and the service was great. They even brought out our cakes and supplied candles. The only constructive feedback I can offer and where I marked lower was food as the medium to well steaks were too rare in the middle to be eaten by 4 of our guests (they enjoyed the outer parts though) and one commented her parmigiana wasn’t the best. The menu does offer a wide range of options to suit all tastes but just a few things that could be tweaked so it gets top marks for everything.

    I was overcharged for what I ordered. I waited nearly 20 minutes to receive our drinks and had to follow it up with three different staff members before the issue got raised and fixed and once our meals came one child ate their chicken nuggets. The other child refused to eat the spaghetti Bolognese because it was gross. It tasted like a frozen meal. I ordered the lamb meatballs and it was the most disgusting meal I’ve ever eaten in my life. We will not be returning.

    Hi Mikaela, we're very disappointed to hear this. Could you please contact us so we can sort this out for you?

    Very noisy! Packed on a Saturday night. Football was on the big screens which added to the noise. Much nicer place to visit in the afternoon for drinks.
