Customer Review Summary
Chicken and wings draw the most praise, with reviewers describing wings that fall off the bone, nice buffalo wings, chicken strips, and tender chicken in a Chicken Rice Box with piri piri sauce. Close behind, the lamb double smash burger is called tasty and a juicy smash burger earns a mention, while the extra hot naga chicken and a Lotus Biscoff cheesecake also get singled out. Several note the spacious seating, a screen for fast ordering, and good value, including a buy one get one offer. Sauce is the recurring complaint. One diner's medium spicy chicken tasted lemony and too tangy, another found loaded fries drenched in a tangy lemony sauce, and a third said the Korean flavour tasted more like gravy. One of them found the spicy hot a bit better. Service splits between a till server who greeted guests with a smile and one account of staff laughing loudly in the kitchen and declining an extra hot request. One reviewer reports finding long white hairs in the chicken skin. Staff told the medium spicy diner that the lemony taste was simply how it tastes.

“We got loaded fries they were so gross, drenched in a tangy lemony sauce. If it’s meant to be peri peri please tell me why its super tangy?! Waste of money.”

“A special lunch offer of a double smash burger, fries and a drink for £8.99 was offered. I chose the lamb option which was very tasty, reminded me of a seasoned lamb kebab taste and not too spicy. The location has comfortable wide seating and I believe an upper floor available for customers also. Would recommend to friends and family - many thanks! 🍔”

“Very disappointing experience. I ordered the Korean flavour, but it tasted more like gravy than a Korean-inspired sauce, which was nothing like I expected. What completely put me off was finding several long, thick white hairs sticking out of the chicken skin. Imagine picking up your food and seeing long, thick white hairs poking out of the chicken ,it was absolutely disgusting and instantly ruined my appetite. It made me seriously question the cleaning and preparation standards. Based on this experience, I won’t be ordering again.”

“Nice atmosphere, but that’s about the only positive. The food quality was just average and definitely not worth the visit. The customer service was disappointing staff were unprofessional, even loudly laughing in the kitchen while we were trying to have a private conversation, which felt very disrespectful. We also asked for an extra hot whole grilled chicken, but the request wasn’t accommodated, and they refused to provide two types of sauce with the meal without any clear reason. Overall, not a pleasant experience and I wouldn’t recommend it.”
