• "Why do these places insist on charging £4 for a tiny bottle of beer!?"
• "The food is ok but not great and quite expensive for weekday lunch."
• "Such a rip off. The Chicken salad was just a huge amount of rice noodles and some tiny shaves of chicken on top - zero veggies/flavour."

• "I got a bill from of 63 but they actually take 67.8 pounds from my card, they handled it really well and refund me the extra charge."
• "However most of the food is far too spicy despite asking for light spice options."
