Cons:

  • "I ordered sausage and belloti beans and was served baked beans with cheddar on them, it tasted like something you'd serve a 9year old for breakfast!"
  • "The main course wasn’t great."
  • "The food wasn't great. I ordered a Margherita pizza and the base was chewy."
  • "Terrible pizza pretending to be top flight - mozzarella was what I can only imagine to be the shredded kind out of an industrial sack and melted in to chunks instead of blending in with the sauce."
  • "The pasta was very bland and I couldn't taste any seasoning, flavours or sauce."

Cons:

  • "However it was just so loud, as if a bomb kept going off."
  • "The 28 pounds prosecco was very watery and most likely one of the cheapest I have ever seen."
  • "Who was unwelcoming and abrupt for no apparent reason."
  • "Outside space could do with a little rethink."
  • "We were often forgotten by the serving staff."
  • "However when we arrived the staff could have been a bit more inviting."
  • "Although I complained, asking the chef to be informed, the brusque waitress brushed it off."
