Food Quality
Pros:
"Good price for the quality of food you get."
"Good food, lovely creative range of flavours and textures."
"Food was excellent, nice selection of drinks."
"Delicious tapas, we had: halloumi sticks, Japanese wings, hummus, guacamole, pitas and veg & cheese frittas."
"The food was delicious and full of flavour."
"I had the Bang bang chicken, my wife the Mexican super food with chorizo. Both really tasty and would definitely have again."
"Food is always great, cooked fresh and hot when served."
Cons:
"The food came out quite cold."
"The food was average, a bit soggy."
"Full English fine (although got charged extra for switching bacon to black pudding..), eggs Benedict over cooked, bit overpriced for orange juice quality."
"The food was overall lukewarm, with stiff bacon, overcooked fried/poached eggs, no butter for toast so very dry."
"We've been served golden syrup twice (much cheaper) with pancakes when maple syrup is listed."
"Ordered a large lemonade for nearly £3.00 and was presented with a flat glass of lemonade, very little carbonation."
"The hot smoked salmon fish cakes despite being replaced once by very courteous staff, still had hardly any salmon in them, and lots of potato."
Service
Pros:
"Love the way that they deal with covid regulations by using qr code to order food and pay - consistently lovely food and service with a smile (beneath the masks!)."
"Food and drinks arrived promptly and I can't recommend the full brunch enough!"
"The staff was so friendly."
"Staff friendly and we were able to have our table for almost four hours on a Saturday night."
"Thank you to the staff & chefs always delicious food."
"Staff are always lovely and the food is always awesome."
"Staff couldn't be more helpful and the food fab."
Cons:
"People were coming in 45 minutes after we ordered and got their food before us."
"Poor service went here on Friday 12.10 ordered food and it arrived 40 min later I did have to chase them."
"We struggled to find a table and nobody really looked as if they wanted to help."
"Waited 10 minutes to be served then a further 20 minutes for 2 cups of coffee to be brought to our table."
"Toilets stinking."
"It took over 1 hour for them to arrive at our table, absolutely shocking!"
"Took a few minutes to be served. It was busy, but we could see a few tables that were free and we had to tell the staff."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"As the night progressed it got louder and louder."
"Overall the ambiance here is good for a chat and somewhat quirky in the decor."
"It was buzzing when we arrived at 5.30 with a pleasant atmosphere."
"Great atmosphere, we used the upstairs section and found it warm and inviting."
"Warm and inviting atmosphere."
"The atmosphere inside is lovely, nice chilled out and quite trendy."
"Lovely atmosphere upstairs all candles, great food and service."
Cons:
"Visited Wednesday 28/6 tried to have a conversation with friend but music so loud at 10am, couldn't even make myself heard on phone to one of my friends."
"Still think new decor looks dingy and cluttered, Cosy Club style but not quite right."
"The only thing I am not keen on is younger children running around in the evening (7pm) here due to people having hot drinks in their hands and hot food."
"Unfortunately the place was more like a youth club and full of drunk, unruly kids."
"Really busy and quite noisy (which could put people off)."
"The place was dead...no one was sat upstairs and main downstairs area must have had around 15-20 in total."
"But within 20 minutes the lights were dimmed and the music was ramped up."
Value
Pros:
"Good price for the quality of food you get."
"Reasonably priced and a good selection of food and drink."
"Food is lovely and reasonably priced."
"Food was great, really tasty and reasonably priced, beers good."
"Service was fine and a good price."
"Great quick service, and nice and clean, only had soft drink and a pot of tea, very busy and only waited 5 mins for it to come to table."
"Around £35 and was enough for the two of us as a light supper."
Cons:
"A small pot of fries and a dollop of coleslaw with a burger, didn’t seem value for money for me."
"It was also 2.15 for two tiny slices! Very overpriced and underwhelming."
"Lovely place tidy food hugely overpriced but definitely quality."
"Mine was burnt and overpriced."
"Food is very small portioned, tapas dishes get less than a packet of crisps."
"Ordered the vegan BLT and vegan smashed avocado. Had to send back the BLT due to the bacon being cold, it arrived again still cold."
"The beans were a little dry."
Hygiene
Pros:
"Place was clean and organized."
"Very well set up on food allergens and go to great detail and lengths to ensure there is no cross contamination."
"I was particularly impressed with their allergy procedures."
Cons:
"Sentimentality for dogs is now taking precedent over common sense and good food hygiene practices."
"Also noticed during our meal that two rentokill staff came out of the kitchen and one carried a bag of waste through the restaurant right next to where we were eating!"
"However, if you advertise this option at least attempt to clean the premises. There were visible hairs floating in the air, which was also disgusting."
"We ate here today and my partner found a long hair wrapped around a tomato, a waitress took his plate away but didn't say anything."
"Is this really hygienic practice for a food premise?"
