Cons:

  • "Charging 50p for take away containers like are you serious? Not worth all the hype."
  • "I feel their menu is also overpriced how can you charge 3 prawns for Β£20 ! Total rip off."
  • "They charge for takeaway containers and bags."
  • "They charge for take-away containers too, 50p per container which seems ridiculous when our bill came to approx Β£150 and a service charge."
  • "The price was just not worth it for the quality and quantity."
