  • "Slow service - only managed starters in an hour and a quarter (but no plates to eat them off)."

Accessibility

Pros:

  • "This restaurant is advertised as accessible on Google."

Cons:

  • "Sadly it is not. I called to book a table 2 days in advance of coming to the restaurant and was assured that the restaurant was accessible and had an accessible toilet. However, on arrival, two staff members came out with a ramp that they were completely unaware how to set up over the steps on entry."
  • "Many wheelchair users would find this dangerous."
  • "Please source another ramp that is not two separate slats that need to be lined up as this in reality is not accessible for wheelchair users to independently use as they have the right to do."
  • "Please train your staff on how to safely set up the ramp to give users some confidence that they aren't being put in harms way."
