"Amazing Homemade food (with Vegetarian offerings as well)."
"The food when it came was amazing - well presented, hot and very tasty."
"Some of the best veggie/vegan food I have ever had!"
"The food is incredible, not a single item is microwaved, 90% of their menu is cooked from scratch!"
"Three vegan meals (cheese burger, jambalaya and a pie) and one chicken burger were all excellent."
"The food was very tasty and everyone was happy with their food orders."
Cons:
"The food took AGES to arrive."
"Felt like I was about to eat a raw burger that was still dripping with bloody oil with the smell of death!"
"Burger was burnt and lettuce limp the blue cheese was not even a sauce but a small wedge of cheese."
"The chips are 90% oil and both the chicken and beef are covered in so much grease the bun becomes like a wet pancake."
"Took about an hour for our food to come! I had some vegan jambalaya which was average at best and gave me horrific food poisoning."
"The food was absolutely vile, the burgers smell like someone’s died and then been warmed up in a microwave."
"Food just microwaved to within an inch of its life, unfriendly staff."

Cons:
"The music recorded 65dBs (equivalent to level of conversation) at 10.30pm on Saturday night."
"Atmosphere for me was weird, maybe we went on a bad nite for them."
"It’s like a rock bar if your Nan walked in, turned up the lights because it was too dark, and then put on her tunes."
"The place is very small and can get really stuck when live music is performed."
"Where's the rock? The pictures and albums on the wall don't make a place, the music and people do."
"It's got a heavy metal vibe that is not conducive to oasis on karaoke so I've since found out."
