"We booked a table for Sunday Dinner at 12:30am. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly female staff member and we requested a quiet table. We were taken to an area of the restaurant which had been sectioned off, so there were no other customers there. One slight problem was that it was located directly under the air conditioning so some of our party found it cold. However, when this was mentioned to the staff they made some changes to the settings to make it a more comfortable temperature . The other issue with this area was that the carpet was very worn and sticky. As I have already mentioned though this area had been closed off. The restaurant seating on the other side of the closure had new carpet. I therefore suspect that the restaurant are working on replacing the carpet and that the area we were in as we had requested a quieter area had not yet been done. The menu was very varied and we found options to suit everyone’s taste. Staff were very helpful and friendly when ordering at the bar. The food was served in a reasonable amount of time but given that the restaurant was not very busy possibly should have been quicker. However, when the food arrived it was hot, well presented and above all tasted good. We all enjoyed our meal, the only small problem here was that the carvery had run out of roast potatoes and so the person who was having them had to wait. They were brought to the table with a few minutes so this was not a big issue and I’m sure it is hard for the restaurant to gage how much of each carvery item they need to have available. The fact that it was handled in such a good way by the staff illustrated to us that they were doing their best. We ordered refillable sodas and the refill station was easily accessible and clean. It did indicate that various flavours could be added to drinks but this option didn’t seem to be available. Tea Coffee refills were also in a good position with all required items available and again the area was clean tidy. Desserts were served very quickly and on the whole very enjoyable although the people who had the Banoffee Cheesecake were not very impressed and found the cheesecake topping to be very powdery and not pleasant. Overall , we had a lovely dinner and we all said it was one of our best experiences of dining out for quite some time. I have mentioned a few small things that weren’t perfect but these were far outweighed by the service of the staff and the enjoyable food. We will definitely be visiting again."

"Now I’m not someone who ever complains or a ‘Karen’ so to speak but this was so apalling and frustrating I have to say something. We should’ve known what myself and my boyfriend were in for when we saw a couple walk out before ordering. We were upstairs with a 3 large table of teens who kept walking around, throwing things. But whatever we weren’t too bothered were very patient people. When we ordered we waited an hour. Yes, an HOUR for x1 dough balls and chicken wings We had only started eating them for 3 minutes when suddenly our mains came out. The woman (purple hair) was incredibly rude when she handed it to us. Also… the pizzas were FREEZING Going to Antarctica for a holiday is probably warmer than the pizzas that were served. We asked two separate members of staff for our water and dips we ordered. When we finally asked a 3rd member of staff she didn’t give us glasses for the water and was never seen on our floor again. We paid on the app and left as soon as, staff were ignoring us as we left, no one asked during our meal how it was. No one said goodbye and thankyou as staff etiquette goes when you leave a restaurant. I understand that it was a Saturday night and probably very stressful and busy. But clearly no communication amongst staff as when we left, staff members by the chef station were clearly having a domestic between eachother (awkward)"
