  • "This restaurant is ran by cowards, where when there is a mistake rather than trying to fix their mistake they will just block you or cancel your order so that you cannot leave bad rating on Deliveroo."
  • "food is tasty and staff are friendly but the music is soooo loud you have to shout to have a conversation."
  • "Service was great. Food was OK, chicken wasn't exceptional, fries neither, and the mac and cheese were very soggy."
