• "Rum and raisin ice cream had zero rum flavour tasted like vanilla with lots of raisins."
• "Mac was floury and not cheesy, not great."
• "It was a mug full of stodgy, bland and thick what looked like boiled rice."
• "Some of us chose a 'mug' of Mac cheese, which was served in a bowl, with no other accompaniments, and was dry and tasteless."

Service

Pros:

Cons:

• "I politely gave it back to the waitress and said it was not very nice at all. She just took the mug from me and walked away."
• "The server smelled of cigarettes."
• "Won't return or recommend."
• "We had already left the premises when a female member of staff burst out the door, and accused us of not paying the bill, which was utter nonsense as we only had a drink each and paid at the bar when we got them!"
• "Docking two stars off because I specifically asked one of the barmen if the non-alcoholic beer they were about to sell me had any trace amounts of alcohol in it, because I needed something that was completely free of alcohol. They assured me it had none and was completely alcohol free... so the barman assuring me otherwise was markedly false."
• "Sadly, our Sunday experience was tainted by the unprofessional language of a member of staff who had had a difficult client."
• "After waiting 15 mins for a drink, with only three tables occupied, I walked upstairs to the bar and got a drink after another 10 mins while three staff played with their computer/cash register."

• "The venue was cold and half empty - it used to be busy!"
• "The basement restaurant offers mostly high chairs for diners."
