"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."

"It 's a nice place with a good atmosphere, I like the decor and the staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. It 's great they have separate Gluten-free and Vegan menus as well as dishes that cross over both. Purely on service this would be a 5 star review, unfortunately the food, especially the main corses really let in down and with the price, it was hard to shift the disappointment. I spent just under £100 on two adults and one child (including the service charge automatically added on We had tapas and two mains which just about filled us as the portions are on the smaller side. The tapas was definitely better than the mains but in my opinion, unfortunately still unimaginative, underwhelming and overpriced. The edamame and tofu was quite nice along with the falafel, the fish cakes were tasty but the rest was pretty forgettable. The gin was delicious though, washed it all down a treat, go for the gin. The mains were just confusing. The seabass was nice but the chips that came with it seemed undercooked and bland. The pan fried chicken on coleslaw was strange, it didn 't go down well, we all tried some but just ended up picking the chicken off and leaving the rest. Chicken on coleslaw with peanuts for £17.50 that 's one to go back to the drawing board in my opinion. (I make no apologies for awful puns or honest reviews. I went in to check it out as i was going to book a table for my birthday because of the different menu 's and options but i think it 's best to stick to drinks there and tapas if I 'm particularly peckish but i wouldn 't go out of my way to go to eat there again."
