"Since the menu was limited, three of us opted for the chicken burgers which turned out to be disappointing - the chicken was tough and unpleasant. Despite waiting almost an hour for our food, it seemed like it had been precooked and reheated. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the food twice, but the waitress only apologized. We did not pay for my sister's meal due to the mix-up, even though it was the cheapest option at around £6. There was also no noticeable difference in quantity compared to the regular chicken burger meals priced at £14 each. When the waitress cleared our plates, she could see that we had hardly touched our food. To top it off, the beer was warm and we were unable to drink it. We left feeling disappointed and only received an apology for not enjoying our meal. Although we had previously enjoyed dining at this restaurant about a year ago, we will not be returning in the future."

The waitress was on her own covering the floor and did a great job serving all the customers including us. Everyone really enjoyed the meal including our four year old granddaughter.
User
Food excellent as always but although the starter was served quickly enough, service was very slow for the main. On this occasion we were put into the smaller room at the back and not in the main restaurant. It was quite chilly which made the 40 minute wait for main even more irritating.
