"Bit of a mixed bag here. Came with a relative on a quiet Sunday. Ordered the chicken wings and tempura prawns and both were excellent. Chicken wings were exceptional and the prawns were cooked as expected with light batter. The main, pulled lamb with veg, was rather disappointing. The lamb was very nice and the gravy was spicy (chili or pepper hot). The hasselback were soft but needed more colour, the carrot was not cleaned properly and was tough and almost raw, the red onion and pepper had no place on the dish as they were not cooked like the runner beans and needed more cooking. If the veg had been cooked then the dish would have been so much better. However, these are easy things to do so frustrating. The Yorkshire puds were fantastic. The biscotti cheesecake was wonderful. Overall a 3/5 but should have been a 4. Staff were very nice and attentive. I would return but order a different main"

Freshly prepped and always diligently prepared and served by a friendly and courteous team. A great place to brunch and conveniently placed for meet-ups. Mash’Allaah look forward to our return next time.

Amazing place to eat delicious food!! The burgers here are so tasty! There is plenty of indoor seating in a family friendly environment. Situated in a good location. The prices are very good. The menu has a good variety of food to choose from, but my favourite is the burgers. Would definitely recommend 10/10

We had the full breakfast and the desi breakfast. The quality of the food was excellent. The menu prices is very value for money. The wait for the food was minimal. The place has spacious seating and the staff were friendly. I advise wisely to order additional purees with your desi breakfast as the portion size is really good. View menu

Wow, wow, wow! The food was absolutely amazing. Great value and friendly staff. What more could you ask for? We drove all the way from Newton-le-Willows to dine here and it was well worth it. Highly recommend it, as it did not disappoint. The dessert selection was wonderful and the portion sizes were great. We will definitely be returning!

I go to this place every now and again and can honestly say it is consistenly excellent. The food is really homely and you just know that you can order anything off the menu and it will be tasty. Customer service is always excellent and the food presentation is exceptional. As the title says, if you want consistenly good food in a pleasant setting, this place wont let you down.

Christmas day roast dinner priced at £14 per person an absolute total rip off. Large Yorkshire pudding which was raw filled with a pathetic amount pulled lamb, 3 tiny potatoes 1, yes 1 baby carrot, 1 slither of pepper, 1 slither of red onion, and 4 green beans all of which were raw, no seasoning and a small pot of Gravy. Never again. Found out later this place was doing buy one get one free on this exact same meal on uber eats. All style and no substance you will pay money in this place and leave hungry and disappointed. Avoid at all cost View menu

Just placed an order for collection and food was ready on time however, I was not impressed at all having been and eaten in on a number of occasions I was very disappointed! Firstly I thought the Halloumi Fries were massively overpriced for £5 and came with a tiny tub of sweet chilli sauce. And the Samosa chat for £6! It was as if the samosa and chat were not even fresh even though it was freshly prepared it had too much Sev and not enough sauce and the actual portion size was served in a large tin container but would have easily fit in a small one. Wouldn't recommend these to anyone and they were Daily specials too!

I was recommended this place by a good friend of mine. The food was excellent. For starters, we had Mozzarella sticks and Nachos, both fresh and delicious. They offered some unique flavored Mojitos, and since I love Irn Bru, I had to try the Irn Bru Mojito. It was tasty but a bit pricey for a soft drink (£5). However, I suppose you get what you pay for. For main courses, we had minted burgers, lamb burger, crispy chicken burger, and a Sunday roast. All were flavorful and satisfying, and the burgers came with skin-on fries. For dessert, we enjoyed Churros, Bakewell tart with custard, and a fried ice cream ball, which was surprisingly delicious. The food was all halal, and I would definitely r...

"Visited the cafe on a Sunday 14/05/23 after recommendations from friends who had been before. What a complete mess! Staff are so unorganised. There was literally 5 tables to serve so half of the cafe. The staff appeared clueless and looked like they were running round like headless chickens. After waiting for 15 minutes I asked a young girl if we could order and she said yes. Walked off told a older lady that we was ready to order. She replied I'm busy. A further 5 minutes we finally ordered. The food then arrived around 20 minutes later. Full of grease, sausages were had black crispy bits all over them, the bacon was like cutting into a brick. I went to cut it and it literally broke like a crisp. I don't mind crispy bacon but that was absolutely burnt to a crisp! I cut into the hash brown oil poured out and the whilst we was sat with our awful breakfast. The security alarm went off for over twenty minutes and all the staff were stood there gormless not having a clue how to turn it off including the owner! So poor service, dreadful breakfast, alarm going off for nearly half an hour and the most unorganised staff I have seen. To top it all off the bill was just short of £30 which is on the more expensive side for breakfast so I would expect food to good standard. Needless to say I won't be visiting again and I won't be recommending to anyone I know. Furthermore, a friend visited the same morning and rang us the day after to say it was the worst breakfast he'd ever had! So that's two lots of unhappy customers. Seriously need to sort your standards out because you definitely should not have a good rating on here. Anyone wanting a good breakfast go elsewhere!"
