Cons:

  • "Mains took nearly an hour to come after starters were cleared away and they were cold and not up to scratch for the price we paid."

  • "Last night there was no washroom facilities in the male toilets."
  • "Had to wait 40 minutes for our table which was booked for 20:45."
  • "Girl serving us was totally miserable! Also I needed gluten free which was just a farce as I was shown a big folder of allergens to which there didn't seem to be anything I could have so I ended up with a coffee whilst my friend had to eat alone!"
