  • "The atmosphere (quiet when we arrived) quickly became busy and loud."

Value

Pros:

Cons:

  • "Charged for the water, when asked, oh its filtered...then, topped bill up with service charge."
  • "How could you reasonably charge 17 great British pounds for a chicken burger that is so below average."
  • "Food very simple and pricey. Steak (22£) wasn't even a steak, was another part from the cow, but not steak."
  • "Food is very average and not filling enough for 20quid!!"
  • "To top it all off when we got the bill there was a £1 charge for tap water."
  • "The food was awful. Sloppy spongy pizza and a menu dominated by “buttermilk chicken” which turned out to be deep fried greasy and over cooked."
  • "Clearly a place uninterested in providing a quality experience or value for money and seeing tourists as targets for exploitation."
