Customer Review Summary
The negatives centre on food quality and service. One diner waited around 20 minutes for fish and chips that arrived lukewarm, then received replacement meals with soggy fish. Others report a BBQ chicken panini with barely any chicken, undercooked chips, nachos with pulled beef that looked like brown sauce and went back, and a children's cheesy tomato pasta called disgusting. One reviewer was asked to leave while sitting outside with a dog on a lead after buying a drink.

“Nice place, good efficient service, good range of beers, wines and spirits. Spacious, comfortable and not too noisy.”
- Lloyd Jones
“I ordered the BBQ chicken panini - it came with barely any chicken at all. Basically a panini bun filled with BBQ sauce. Chips were undercooked. Lady at the bar stuck her fingers in my glass before pouring my drink. Service was slow - food sat on the pass for ages. Very disappointing.”
- Owey
“Food not the best we ordered a few meals, also Nachos with pulled beef, never seen beef like it, just looked like brown sauce, so it went back. The childrens cheesy tomato pasta was disgusting, oil still on the poppadoms for the curry. We would never go back there for food again. Drinks only from now on, that's if we go back.”
