• "Also the food is OVERPRICED!!!"

• "We paid £15 a head with just a bottle of water between us and no deserts. A total and utter rip off on the price for an ok to average meal."
• "The quantity of large wrap looked quite like a small one, let alone the regular size."
• "£20 for a few dry pieces of chicken, chips and coke. Not worth it at all."

• "Also no customer washing facilities (I'm sure if a restaurant has seating it should have toilets)."
• "Was asked to leave after the guy billed us and then someone else came and told it would be extra money to sit in."
