Value for Money

Pros:

• "Between our party we had pretty much everything on the menu and with drinks came to about £33 per person. For the sheer amount of incredible food we had and a few drinks, this was more than reasonable."

• "Great food, service and experience. Fantastic variety with appropriately sized portions."

Cons:

• "It was superb, if a bit expensive."
• "The food itself was a total disappointment and expensive for what it was, we were given a discount on the food for the inconvenience and that was very welcome, however we will not be eating here again."
• "Terrible food and over priced. Management handled our feedback terribly."
• "The dishes are overpriced, not cooked well and miniature."
