Cons:

  • "Only let down was the attitude of the Manager."
  • "Management could not even be bothered to come over and apologise."
  • "However the rest of the service was very very poor, waited ages for someone to serve us and even longer for our food to come; more than 40 minutes."
  • "The server made a plethora of mistakes including putting her finger in another customers custard to check the temp(she was standing next to our table), continually put the wrong orders through, gave us the wrong drinks."
  • "Service was very very slow and I could have eaten more but as my partner hadn't finished they wouldn't serve me."
  • "The manager he shook his head and ignored her then mumbled."
  • "Martin needs schooled in what is appropriate conversation while serving the public."

  • "Dough balls for starters - served to us uncooked."
  • "Pork Milanese for mains - tough to the point of being inedible and indistinguishable from any other meat."

Pros:

  • "The food was nice. Food and drink were well priced."
