Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Food is delicious, try fish and chips it’s much better than so called London’s best."
  • "The food was surprisingly good, the steak was decent, the burgers were good and even the veggie burger were delicious."

  • "We had the nut roast and the chicken roast and both were cooked perfectly."
  • "The pork belly was especially delicious and portion sizes spot on."

Cons:

  • "The roast was pretty bad, the veggies were cold and the potatoes have been reheated so many times that they were hard like a rock."
  • "Disappointing burger. Paid £15 and basically ate a chicken nugget wrapped in bread."
  • "The worst food! The burger patty is a very narrow, rotten bun."
  • "Was served a 'Tomato and Avocado salad' with no avocado, nasty lettuce and gross cucumbers."
  • "Food wasn't hot."
  • "Although my friends enjoyed their food, my burger was overcooked (you could actually taste burned meat around the edges) and under seasoned."
  • "Roast was very dry and overdone. I had the nut roast and thought everything seemed sat for a while and tough."

Ambiance & Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "Good atmosphere."

Cons:
