"Having had a lovely day out, we finished our day here. We had been before which was just after lockdown and had a fantastic meal with great staff, so we thought it would be the same again, how wrong were we? Having arrived at 4-15pm we ordered the pre-theatre, starter was ok at best this is when I started to notice that some of the staff were watching us at all times, every time I looked up the older man was watching from an open doorway. This made me feel extremely uncomfortable, my friend had her back to him so never seen this. One of the staff came to take our starter plate away while I was still eating. We then asked for a 10 min break between courses, this didn’t seem to go down too well. The main courses came and we cannot fault them they were both lovely. Again I was getting watched with every mouthful of food I had, this was starting to put me off my food, my friend then ordered another small wine. Once we finished eating we were letting our food settle while my friend finished her wine. A member of staff then came and slapped the bill on the table, we hadn’t asked for the bill at this time, but we never questioned it. By this time the restaurant was getting busier but by no means was it full,there were still a few empty tables. At 6-15 the man who had spent most of his time staring at me then came up to us and asked us to leave as they needed the table, both of us were extremely embarrassed by this. As we were leaving someone who was sitting near the entrance, who we think was the owner said “ goodbye I hope you enjoyed your meal” my friend who was extremely angry by this time then told him what had just happened, he apologised and said that they must have been needing the table, this I couldn’t understand as there were still plenty of empty tables, but even if this was the case if they had mentioned to us when we arrived that they needed the table back for a certain time we wouldn’t have taken as much time. They could have also asked us to finish our drinks elsewhere if they needed the table so urgently.Overall the food was good, but the staff were extremely rude and this spoiled my meal. After our first visit we told all our friends about this place we will now be telling them not to bother. After spending £50 on 2 pre-theatre meals that were totally spoiled by rude staff we left and neither us or any of our friends will return."

"Your semi A okay place for food, Pizza I ate which is tasty, just the chips tastes as they been refried/frozen again, nothing more than a bland taste thats probably only a 2 star standard tradition for what they served up. Staff are okay, times speaking another language which have no concern over, just when speaking the loud machines make it hard to understand anything without a rumble going on, would give this place a 3/5 it's not the best, yet its still better than the most out there! : Do not reuse the same cooked chips again, can taste how bland they become via cooking oils used, after they been cooked once, twice they become mush and bland, hence a food critics job, overall: Pizza is delicious, that's 4/5 to a 5/5 standard. Burgers are a 3.5/5, again tastes frozen-ish, they a okay for the time being. Chips.... this is an easy 2/5, they taste extreamly bland, other than oil used in cooking and freezing processes, it does not have any grease, just still they taste frozen and unfrozen multiple times, this strips strip tastes down and makes something that's been edible to something questionable. Overall verdict is a 3 out of 5 stars, tried the food first time, only positive was hardly any grease on the food, other than that, frozen food/cooked goods shouldn't be reused again and again, this ruined the taste, said it before and saying it now, please keep an eye on the food you refreeze, often times you can taste the 1st free then 2nd and 3rd ruins texture, this becomes disappointing too in terms of tastes. Not able to finish the chips, pizza was tasty, just the rest had questionable aspects at best."
