Customer Review Summary
Large portions are the draw most reviewers return to, with several saying they left full and did not feel ripped off. The lamb shank is the dish named most, served on colcannon mash or with market vegetables like cauliflower cheese and turnip, and described as delicious and cooked to perfection. Close behind are the Tex Mex chicken topped with pulled pork and cheese, sweet and sour chicken with a tangy sauce, fiery bbq chicken bites, and a ranch burger, plus coleslaw one diner calls the best they have had. Staff come across as friendly and chatty, and one reviewer brought a guide dog puppy in training that everyone respected. Complaints are milder. The place gets busy and quite noisy, and one reviewer says it is not for a romantic meal. One waited a long time for their order to be taken, another found the mains weaker than the starters and served almost on top of them, and a lemon cheesecake had no lemon taste. One mix-up was corrected on the bill.

“1st time at this location and the food did not disappoint. Overall service was great although we waited over 20min to have out food order taken. It was relatively busy after 5.30pm. Caesar salad dressing was best I have tasted and the chicken was seasoned well.😋 Staff were great and it was nice to be asked how everything was. Would definitely return on my next trip over from 🇨🇦👍”
