  • "Make sure you get a card receipt, or pay by cash, as the waitress tapped my contactless card for me WITHOUT showing me the card machine first."
  • "Service was very slow it took nearly 30 minutes to to get a fruit juice and my lamb shish took another 45 minutes was very dry and just 6 chunks with a bit of fried onions wasn't worth nearly £11.00."
