"Due to limited menu it's not somewhere you could keep going to."
"I went to buy and it turns out that for a small pizza and a chicken kebab they charged me £18 I didn't realize at the time if not until later, so it seems to me that they take advantage of drunk people and For the unwary like me, I do not recommend this site."
