Value for Money

Pros:

• "I would say the pricing is a bit on the high side, but going to a place like this isn’t something you probably do very often and it is worth the money."
• "£90 for 3 persons as to starters, mains and 4 drinks."
• "The portions were generous and the presentation was beautiful."
• "Value is also really good for what you get and quality of food."
• "Excellent food, great value for money."
• "Great value for money."
• "Food is outstanding and portions are generous and very reasonably priced."

Cons:

• "The calamari starter was £6.50 for 3 calamari rings ( that’s about £2 a calamari ring)."
• "Bunch of money grabbers. Ordered a platter takeaway and the portion side is extremely low compared to eat in house."
• "£54 for a plate of mixed bbq (overcooked) meat on a bed of rice."
• "However the prices are on par with that of a mid to upmarket London venue, between £15-£25 for a dish, expect to pay £100 for a starter, main, and bottle for 2."
• "Considering we weren't in London, we actually ended up paying more than what it would cost in North London for two, three course meals."
• "The rice portion was what you would expect a kids portion to be at best and it was of some average long grain white rice all for the lovely price of £18!!"
• "Also when spending this amount of money you expect good food and service included in meal prices."

• "Great atmosphere created by the decor and the staff!"

Cons:

• "Spaces are generally limited."
• "Being sat near the open door with its cold breeze and near the kitchen and bar so our view and sounds were heavy on the constant take away preparation and foot traffic in and out."
• "The music was also very loud which at times made it hard to have conversation."
• "At 20:30 the clubesque music was turned up to the point that people had to shout to converse with each other."
• "You get a bit forgotten about up there and we had to keep trying to get their attention."
