Service

Pros:

Cons:

• "Food delayed and service staff awful. Spoilt our experience and incredibly frustrating that several different members of staff did not seem to care about the service."
• "Plus, the 'table' service was not very good. Had to call for attention several times even though most of the time they were stood right in front of us."
• "Automatically adding service charge onto drinks is a disgrace - you end up paying over £7 per pint."
• "The staff never came over to ask how the food was and we couldn’t grab their attention either to raise these issues."
