“The culinary experience was highly unsatisfactory. The establishment's temperature was uncomfortably cold. The order did not align with the specials board. The T-bone steak was unappetizing in texture and overall quality. Least the dog enjoyed the bone”
- Kay Clark
“We hadn't booked, just turned up. Seated imminently and drinks orders taken. Drinks arrived while we looked at the menu, ordered Pasta Romana (which was delicious) and my daughter ordered a meat feast pizza (which she couldn't eat all of it and they put the remaining 3 slices in a box to take home). I'd left my phone in the car so I i popped out for it (& answered a couple of messages I'd missed). Got sat back down and the food arrived!! Delicious, well cooked, piping hot and once eaten,cwe weren't hurried out. Bill came to £31 for those two meals a J20 and a large Pepsi Max. I could add a tip when I paid - which is good as I never have cash on me!”
