  • "Main meal was nice (I had vegetarian chilli) and a good service but the portion was ridiculously large."
  • "Food was really nice but if you don't order starters at the same time as you order your main meals the server will get really annoyed."
  • "The food was nice but I paid 15 pound for 2 wraps with the smallest amount of beef in."

  • "The layout and decor catches the eye as you walk by. I think that’s why we went in. Could do with more choices for vegetarians."
  • "The disabled toilets however, were indescribably filthy."
  • "Meal was only 'ok' had to return the drinks as they were see through, was busy at 1pm on a Friday when we were there, but by far the worst thing was the deafening music."
  • "Disinterested inattentive staff. At no point were we asked how our meal was until we had finished."
  • "Ordered the BBQ chicken and pulled pork, chicken was not sliced and the pulled pork was in chunks not shredded, also the peppers where in big chunks so hard to put in wrap's."
  • "Service was extremely slow, food took nearly an hour to arrive despite the restaurant not being busy."
