Customer Review Summary
Diners single out the chicken and sides as the main draw, with reviewers repeatedly describing the food as excellent, generously portioned, and good value, often paired with praise for the tenders, wraps, BBQ beans with bacon, and homemade coleslaw. The most frequent mention across visits is the front-of-house team, repeatedly named in reviews, who several diners credit with warm, attentive, and efficient service that made group meals and birthday occasions feel easy. Food comes out quickly even when the restaurant is busy, and the setting is described as relaxed, with music that stays low enough to talk. Seating inside and a covered area out front suit both families and groups. The pattern across reviews is consistent satisfaction with both the food and the service.

“Loved it great service and brilliant chicken and sides”
- James Dore
“It was my birthday today and the staff was told, they gave me a free milkshake for it and where very kind. The food came very quick for how busy it was and how many people where in our group. The food was amazing and very well portioned, they are perfectly priced for how good the food is. There was a brilliant variety and I was in-between many options. It was very chill in here and the music was chill. It never got to loud to talk to my friends and family and I overall loved it here. I feel like I have to mention India and Bruno who made our experience here perfect and unforgettable”
