Customer Review Summary
Bottomless brunch is what most reviewers come for, and they praise the servers who kept drinks topped up regularly, even on packed concert days when the bar was short-staffed. Diners name the American pancakes with crispy bacon, the chicken fajita pasta and a chicken burger as good, with food described as lovely, hot and fresh. One group celebrating a birthday afternoon tea points to the hbd cocktail and pink pony club cocktails. Reviewers also describe staff who checked in often, kept groups informed and fixed a side that never arrived. The main criticism is food and pace. One brunch guest found the pancakes tasted like pre-made supermarket ones, served with frozen hash browns and a pile of bacon, while friends fared better with other dishes. Another noted service was a little slow during a concert rush, though they put it down to the pressure on the team. Several reviews close on servers who kept moving through the whole shift without stopping.

“We came for a brunch Saturday 22nd August as we were seeing Becky Hill in castle park. The slug and lettuce was packed, the staff were working hard to keep everyone’s drinks topped up and food delivered. They all worked so hard with a caring attitude. I didn’t catch our servers name but she was great! Well done everyone.”

“Food banging!!! Service a little slow but we spoke to the workers who had a a hell of a shift low staff (not their fault) under pressure from the concert (not their fault) not 1 staff stopped the whole time we were here! Big shoutout to both Connor and Gloria - Connor accommodating us perfectly and Gloria serving us our bottomless brunch as promptly as can be!!! Can not speak more highly of then both (and the rest…. Cocktail guy behind the bar with long hair did not stop making drinks!!!) Shelby helped me when a side didn’t come out. These 3 people amazing. Credit to the company. Thank you!”
