Cons:

• "The bavette steak was a let down, tasty but very chewy and we weren’t able to finish it."
• "Food is not that amazing but good quality, especially the vintage tomatoes in the salad."
• "The food was good, not great, and punching a bit on prices."
• "Sadly mine was very undercooked. They kindly reflashed the steak and it came back medium rare. But maybe it was the supplier as it was a tough cut of rib eye."
• "It was OK. Steak was overcooked as were the chips so a bit dry."
• "Overpriced and not much choice. Meal came swimming in gravy (yuk) should have been served separately."
• "Went in today ... the meal was basically salt with stuff attached ... there seemed to be no chef ... just random staff cooking with no chef clothing ... the choice is vastly reduced to that shown online ... ran out of sparkling water to wash it down... a few hours later I feel ill ..."
• "Very very disappointed 😞 with this place menu very limited i had chesse burger and fries did not enjoy one bit and the price was way over the top had a starter which was OK but not great I am a lager drinker but no draught lager only bottled which was very pricey my wife only had the same starter as me for her mains and a pudding 🍮 the staff we're really lovely and very helpful but we will 📵 not be coming back again r w clarke"
