"Since the recent change of Menu I decided to visit and try out as I am a fan of burger and wings. I ordered a portion of Buffalo Wings, a halloumi burger and garlic fries. This came to approx £17 which I felt was on the high side. This was on a Friday night and the store was moderately busy, order took about 10 mins to prepare for collection despite ordering online. Of 5 or 6 members of staff only 3 or 4 seemed to actually be working. The wings were tasty and hot but £6.99 for 6 wings when the wings aren't overly big and only had drumlets, no winglets. The burger had a good amount of halloumi, fresh salad and chilli jam but still somehow felt dry and cooled down quickly. The burger was £6.50 and came without fries. Finally the fries, by the time they'd been transported a short distance home they'd cooled gone soggy. The garlic turned out to be garlic granules/salt. Portion size was good but definitely felt overall the burgers could include fries with them. To conclude it feels the change in menu has become overpriced for what is provided, an example is 6 onion rings for £4, the same price for 6 chicken strips, they've lost the appeal of a nice proper crispy chip going over to fries and the pricing will reduce regular customer's. I understand times are tough in this industry with the current events at time of writing and wonder if the rent and other costs are taking toll."

"Food is fine; service very poor though. 5 of us were booked in for a meal a few nights ago were seated straight away, however the 2 women serving the tables are extremely abrupt rude, especially the tall one taking the order. Both are from abroad it nots a language barrier thing as they spoke English, it was just very direct talking body language with no sort of pleasant customer interaction whatsoever. Extremely abrupt. When food did arrive at table the woman taking orders had missed off a meal (probably because in the way she was doing things not properly listening instead just hurrying people along as quickly as possible) so my friend ended up eating at a different time than the rest of us as that had to be rectified. Second woman, wearing gloves mask, was abrupt too when sorting out the missing meal wasn 't any apology at all for this, just shot off to get more grub. When paying the bill at the end taking our money, no real thanks alot, hope all ok, look forward to seeing you again etc just a sort of put in your pin number, you want a receipt, walk away... Just extremely poor people service skills from the staff here. Worst was to come before we all left when finishing off our drinks, the tall female staff member shot over to us, leaning straight across myself put her fingers in my friends wine to take the glasses away before she 'd even finished the drink ! (Again, this due to keep rushing things not waiting). didn 't really apologize, more that they 'll replace it, but quite frankly we 'd all had enough of the very cold brash approach from the staff so just decided to get up leave that 's what the 2 women wanted I think so they could get us out as quickly as possible to reuse the table for more money generators, sorry I mean customers! (yes, we were paying customers you had over £100 out of our group not that we were really treated like that though). Food was fine, staff are not very nice. Would therefore put me off using this restaurant again in the future. Will take my business elsewhere."
