“Staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best meal possible. The Beef Dripping Fries were fantastic as were the ribs. The Seafood Paella my partner felt was a bit of a let down as she found pieces of shell randomly mixed in with the rice and the Caeser Salad had anchovies in which wasnt stated on the menu. The Wagu Cheeseburger I had was wonderful and came with peppercorn sauce which partnered perfectly with the fries! I think the Diet Coke was at the bottom of the barrel as it tasted very watered down but on the whole, a pleasant experience.”
