"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."
