Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Just had the best ever fajitas here."

Cons:

  • "Complete waste of money and extremely disappointing."
  • "I had the chicken trio burger which was vile."
  • "The meal portion was pathetic."
  • "Waited 40mins for food - over cooked chicken on a chicken shared and a plate of nachos came cremated."

  • "Customer service from management team appalling!"
  • "Manageress did not handle it well threatening to throw us out and we ended up having desserts and coffee in a nearby cafe."
  • "The Maitre d' seemed to be running around like a headless chicken with little organisation."
  • "Service was non-existent, food was ok but not great."
  • "Didn't bother complaining to the waitress as she was so miserable anyway she most probably wouldn't have done anything."

Cons:

  • "How long should I be waiting for the employee to come back and let me pay."
  • "The venue could definitely use a little better maintenance as the door we were sat by, meant to be a fire exit, kept blowing open and was obviously damaged at the bottom as was used as a cut through to the outside seating."
  • "Double the price of similar around."
  • "Not impressed! £1:29 for 6 chips. Almost £3.00 for a large coffee that WAS NOT LARGE."

Ambiance & Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "Visited the pub on a weekend. Was greeted straight away and shown to a nice table by a radiator and window."
  • "The buffet was one of the best I've seen in a long time."
  • "It's very clean, including the toilets (bonus) and recommend it for whoever is in the area."
  • "The staff where attentive and restaurant was clean and well kept."
  • "Toilets were clean and tidy."

Cons:

  • "After having to change a few pieces of cutlery as they were dirty sat down and got settled on the aesthetic but slightly dirty couches."
  • "On arrival first impression was untidy outside garden area, empty glasses left on tables, ash trays full of dirty water and cigarette butts floating, garden area needs tidying."
  • "The outside decor of the building needs a bit of a revamp, inside of the pub is ok but no interaction from bar staff, not much of an atmosphere inside."
  • "Place needs a lick of paint."
  • "The décor was aesthetically pleasing."
  • "Dark and gloomy inside too."
  • "I would suggest that hearing the staff talk about how disgusting the toilets were a day or so ago was probably not the best."
