Service Quality

Pros:

  • "Only drop one star because the service was a bit slow to begin with."
  • "Really nice place with rustic vibe. Great selection of fresh cakes, but after lunch we took cakes away as portions was big."
  • "Service was attentive though the food did take a bit of time to arrive."
  • "All staff were extremely friendly and they moved us from a side bar table to a standard table as soon as one was available without us having to ask."
  • "The service was excellent too."
  • "Will definitely be stopping in again next time I'm passing."

Cons:

  • "So disappointed! We'd heard such good reviews so I decided to take my daughter out for a lunch treat as she'd done so well at university. After being seated we waited patiently to be served but after 30 minutes it was quite obvious that we were being ignored."
  • "Service wasn't the best, and only told us about items not available after each person ordered, which wasn't very helpful."
  • "Friendly service and great location but food was average."
  • "Service is often very poor. Staff don't acknowledge you are there."
  • "Unfortunately service here is shocking!!"
  • "Very noisy when busy I couldn't hear the people at my table. Wouldn't eat here again out of choice"
  • "A few rude staff and a one way system that is regularly blocked by staff chatting, which they then make comment when you try and use it and get too close to them."

Ambiance and Location

  • "The ambiance of the place is nice. It felt relaxed and friendly."
  • "Visited for the first time today! I'd heard all the hype and was excited to see what it was like."

Cons:

  • "Very very noisy environment. You can't have a conversation without shouting."

  • "A deeply depressing place which should never have seen the light of day without a proper master plan."
