Food Quality
Pros:
"Food was excellent. Can recommend the Omelette and the Brie, Cranberry and Bacon Pannini."
"Each option was delicious - in fact, I may try and recreate my sea bass with the chorizo and prawn salsa ......so different, so nice."
"Very good food. The baked camembert starter was delightful."
"The food was explosive and flavourful and the chef had a real sense of what works."
"All the food was delicious. We were a party of 11 ordering starters and mains. All of our food came out together, piping hot and very tasty."
"The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. Always friendly and never felt rushed even though they were clearly under some pressure."
"The food was really nice though and very tasty."
Cons:
"Well I wouldn't recommend it after the so called 'large salmon and avocado salad' I had. The bowl was full of salad leaves, a few tomato, onions and cucumber I had less than a fork full of salmon."
"Ordered take away from here. Food was just ok and they messed it up."
"We could hear the microwave which means that food is not fresh."
"The food was tasteless."
"Poor, small breakfast, sausage was burnt till black, bacon was also overcooked."
"The food was straight out of the freezer, the pasta overcooked ...it was awful!!!"
"Risotto made with regular rice overcooked and too hot as it was from the microwave, the burger was ok, spaghetti seafood doesn't taste seafood."

Cleanliness
Pros:
"Lovely home atmosphere, very clean."
"Everything was cooked perfectly and the chips were lovely and crisp on the outside but all fluffy on the inside....perfect."
"The food was delicious and very filling, and the staff were really friendly."
Cons:
"One point only to improve would be the toilet slightly let's down overall appearance of restaurant."
"Unfortunately table and floor around the table could have been a bit cleaner."
"Tables could be cleaner, toilet had the lock missing, and all the staff could wear masks to cover their nose and mouth."
"The tables outside had not been cleared from previous customers."
"Although it is not an authentic Italian pizza, you will get a bustling atmosphere, friendly staff and a delicious reasonably priced food with hearty portions."
