“Perfect pizza, lovely bowl of hummus, Belgian beer and a chilled ambiance. We came for a bite to eat but the perfect playlist turned it into an afternoon of Carcassonne, pizza and beer. The pizzas are all cooked to order and are absolutely delicious.”
- Jackie Anderson
“Very deceiving from outside because although this place doesn’t look like much the food is absolutely awesome- I only marked service at 4 as you order at bar but the staff were lovely and brought food to the table. In the evenings they have live music so whether it’s thru the day or at night this place is definitely worth a visit even if just for the food alone.”
