Customer Review Summary

Bottomless brunch is what most reviewers return for, and they praise the cocktails and food around it, with one reviewer saying a server kept drinks coming for the full two hours. Dishes named include the smash burgers, Trini coconut curry, jerk chicken breast, dumplings and Mac'n'Cheese, while one diner calls the ginger pudding one of the best desserts they have had. Reviewers also single out the 2 for 1 cocktails and the platters as good value, and several describe the service as friendly and attentive, with one server mentioned by more than one reviewer. A few note the food is cooked well but average on flavour, and that sides can push the bill up. The sharpest complaint comes from a longtime regular who found the cocktails since a management change mostly tasted like cordial, with one bitter and only three of nine enjoyed. The same reviewer describes smaller white plates, no sauces on the tables, and a long wait for a last round that ended in an argument before one final drink was agreed.

    “Ate here for the first time this week (had been a few times but only for cocktails) and had an absolutely delicious dinner. The ginger pudding was one of the best desserts ive ever had! Everything was fantastic, and our server Liam was friendly and attentive and made us feel completely welcome. We will definitely be back.”

    “We have had a lovely evening my partner and I. I’d like to thank all the staff and the young gentleman that served us earlier and the lovely Maja who made sure we weren’t without drinks for the entire 2 hours of the bottomless brunch. Keep doing what you do. You made our evening even more special. And the food and cocktails were fab! x”
