Food Quality and Variety

  • "Gorgeous chicken as always. The chicken pieces are massive! I shared a portion of the dirty fries and loved them."

  • "Food really good. Best chicken wing in town for sure, value and money taken into consideration."
  • "Amazing atmosphere!!! The chicken is definitely some of the best fried chicken there is to offer."

Cons:

  • "Cons: The presentation and overall look of the food is phenomenal compared to what it tastes like."
  • "The food was absolutely terrible, shocking chips were dry, mango chicken wings were greasy & fatty not crispy like wings are meant to be."
  • "My partner did somewhat enjoy the burger he received but that just wasn’t enough to make up for everything else unfortunately."
  • "When the strips came, they didn’t have any of the mentioned toppings (there was about 3/4 toppings in total)."
  • "The Mac and cheese side my partner ordered, was £7 for it to have no flavour and unm elted cheese."

Service and Staff

Pros:

  • "The food took a long time but the beer selection was good and we were told at the point of order. Emily did an amazing job chasing and sorting it out for us with a big smile."
  • "The food is great, service was awful. When we arrived, it wasn’t clear where we go to be seated for a reserved table."

Cons:

  • "Although the food is great, the atmosphere and experience is awful. It’s too loud and the service is non-existent."
  • "A lot of the problems would be solved if they had mobile ordering to your table."
  • "They need someone / a sign at the door to tell people either to wait to be seated or turn people away if it’s fully booked."
  • "None of the staff members came back to check on how the food was to which I would have expressed any concerns."
  • "Service for food is very quick. A bit slow on table cleaning and order was also wrong! It's not the best for parking there either."
  • "Love the chicken and loaded fries. The food is great and staff friendly. Service could be better when it comes to cleaning the tables though."
  • "Quick service. Can't say the food didn't taste nice because it did. However, to pay £65 for 3 chicken burgers, 3 portions of chips and 3 drinks was expensive."
  • "Chicken was tasteless would have been cheaper to go to a steak house?, price of our meal was extortionate. Hygiene standards are questionable."
