  • "To top it off, it cost £120 for this experience! Completely ludicrous."

  • "Another disgustingly rude waiter came n told us we had to get out unless a mature adult being with us."
  • "Not so sure about the addition of the new seating to the rear the wooden tables are already getting grubby, maybe have them tiled for ease of cleaning & the benches being raised up get quit uncomfortable they would benefit from a foot rest."
  • "Shocking they make you go all the way to the back of the restaurant for disabled access and the only ramped access and its locked."
  • "Will not be returning."
  • "The second time I had the chicken curry, it was So BLAND all you could taste was CREAM."
