Cons:

  • "Food was not hot enough, it didn't all arrive and was all just a bit naff."
  • "Ordered the pad Thai and it was the worst pad Thai I have ever had, very bland, no taste at all, had to put soy sauce to be able to eat as hungry!"

  • "Really crowded, which is difficult for a disabled member to navigate."
