Price

Pros:

• "Plus they had an offer wine and pie £13. A must go place!!!"

Cons:

• "But seriously £48.26 for two pies and mash and two diet coke is very expensive."
• "£19.95 feels like a lot but if you go elsewhere and have one for a little less I guarantee it won’t be a fraction of the quality."
• "Overpriced & average pies, was a bit disappointed to be honest, as I had high hopes for this place."
• "£18 for a pie and chips is very expensive and the service was very very slow on not a particularly busy night."

Atmosphere

• "Good vibe in here."
• "We were pleasantly surprised by the patio and vaults downstairs."
• "The decor is really lovely and the setting felt very romantic with the candle lit tables."
• "The environment is unexpectedly interesting, there is an underground floor that looks like a tunnel and leads to a back garden facing the river."

Cons:

• "Queueing for over half an hour for one toilet - and then for the other male toilet too - is unacceptable."
• "The downstairs also turned into a pulsing nightclub style bar at 8:45pm with music so loud we couldn’t talk to each other so we left without trying the dessert!"
• "When dancing start it is way too overcrowded and the place it's too small to allow that."
• "Sometimes the 'atmosphere' of the place wasn't quite right - for example, it was extremely dark."
• "Music it's way too loud even before any dancing start, it was impossible to talk with people sitting next to me without yelling."
• "The music volume is well above the comfortable level of being able to hold a conversation."
• "Turned into a bit of a nightclub around 11.30pm...we ducked out at this point due to how loud it got."
