"Pizza and calzone both undercooked, raw doughy texture and taste."

"The muscle starter for nearly £8 only had 5 muscles in it and the king prawns a disappointing small 4."

"The pizza was ok but again just ok."

Cons:
"We were left waiting at the door way to be seated whilst the telephone was answered several times and numerous staff members walked past ignoring us."
"We repeatedly asked if we could order food but unfortunately the 'big table' must have been more important than us as the staff were all catering to them and no one else!"
"Unfortunately I cannot comment on the food or drinks because we didn’t get to try any! After waiting for 25 minutes, having asked could we please order drinks, we left as nobody had bothered to serve us."
"We had to wait ages for drink reorder or deserts so ended up not ordering desert as the waiter told us it was just him left for both inside and outside tables."
"My meal came out with barely warm potatoes so I did send it back but it was replaced swiftly and the waiter was very apologetic."
"We were served our food one of the meal was missing kept looking for someone to tell about it, finally the meal came we wasn't asked if there was anything else we needed or if anything was OK with our meals."
"Service from waiters was impeccable, can’t fault them in the slightest, it was everything else."
"We stayed a bit behind as we were enjoying ourselves so much and they were very accommodating and in no rush for us to leave."
