Value for Money

Pros:

• "Cocktails were good, generous with the alcohol and 2for1 so a great deal."
• "Had the Chicas 4 cocktails and two tapas deal. Good value for money."
• "241 cocktails all day everyday what's not to love!!"
• "Great deal on the 2-4-1 cocktails which are really well made and you can taste the alcohol."
• "Food was reasonably priced, very tasty."
• "The food is good quality and there is currently a 2 for 1 offer on all cocktails (including pitchers) and mocktails which is good value."
• "Great place for a grown up casual dinner, varied and exciting menu, reasonably priced."

Cons:

• "It's bit overpriced for what you're getting comparing to wagamama or cafe rouge on the same side of the Lake."
• "Very expensive meal portion was small."
• "With the prices they're charging you'd expect a little bit more than KFC or MCDONALD'S."
• "The Value for money wasn't terrible I do believe the price reflected the quality very well."
• "We were surprised to see we were charged extra on the bill for these (£2.25) when the Fajitas are already one of the higher priced items on the menu."
• "The 2 for 1 cocktail is also a scam as the bartender shares out 1 normal drink into 2 glasses and fills it right up with ice, and MORE ice."
• "Prices are as expected at a chain restaurant."
