“Quick lunch with a friend, used the table service QR and got food and drinks within a very reasonable time. I will say though the 'side salad' was a lot to be desired.”

“Have to give this place five stars based on value alone. Where else can you get chicken wings and the pint for under a fiver? The stuck up people will argue that the food is microwaved or whatever but it's cheap, filling and great with a beer. It might not be the fanciest establishment but it's not pretending to be, It's giving our students and community a place to have a night out on a budget and I love it for that. Also, the app/ ordering system is seamless”

“Terrible slow service. We waited so long for our plates to be served, I cleared the table myself. Food was average and the baked potato was tiny with not much by way of filling. Cheap though”

“Absolutely vile food that really matches it's price point sadly. Very poor service too from the waiters who approach you in the weirdest way to take your plates and cups when finished (eventually, it did take them about 45 mins to take them away despite bringing more drinks). This place used to be a lot better sadly just lacks any kind of passion most likely due to underpaid and underappreciated staff. Booths were filthy with skin flakes on the seats in the corners 🥴 Glasses were filthy. Coffee tasted like it was filtered through someone's dirty sock. I ate 1 bite of my food and couldn't finish it. Really sad experience as this used to be a great place. Now I will only return for chips and alcohol. Even my lemonade was minging and watered down.”
