Cons:

  • "The food that did arrive was cold and bland horrendous."
  • "It was more like a starter priced as a main meal. Wasn’t fulfilling and had to go to another food place to eat afterwards."
  • "From a squid ring starter with undercooked and chewy squid, to an overcooked salmon main, too-wet sauce risotto and finally a dry chocolate cake dessert."
  • "The pizzas we both had were burnt and missing toppings we asked for."
  • "My risotto was a mouthful of raw cubed onions... A lot of uncooked tomato passata."
  • "The prawns were tough, chewy and tasted of water. 100% frozen salad prawns."
