Food
Pros:
"Food was top class. Lamb lasagne was amazing, best food I’ve tasted locally in a long time."
"The food is definitely the prize here."
"I had the gnocchi which was very tasty. Quite possibly the best gnocchi I’ve ever had."

"Food was amazing including some very generous portions."
Cons:
"I felt very disappointed, I came a few weeks back and since then, I've raved to everyone how amazing a meal I have had was. Tonight, I was very disappointed to find the menu had changed."
"Would love to make this a positive review because the food and drinks there are excellent, but the car park surface is beyond shocking."
"Starters were heavily deep fried and greasy. The sea bass was deep fried and dry."
"Just had take out for third time and sad to say this time was a bit disappointed... the seafood linguine was not the same dish I got the first time."
"For a £15 bowl of pasta I expected a lot more than 4 clams (that were chewy) and overall the dish had a lack of taste and presentation."
"Food was average at best, service was slow as the chef got our order wrong twice."
"Starter (bruschetta) was OK but the bread was slightly burnt, the main (chicken) was overly salted to the point it was inedible."
"Starters were poor, tasteless and poor presentation. Had cappuccino which personally I would have put a biscuit on the side."
