Customer Review Summary
Friendly, helpful staff are the draw reviewers raise most, with several describing servers and a manager as kind, lovely and welcoming. The food earns solid praise too: one reviewer enjoyed the fresh, lovely flavour of a chicken wrap, another liked the burger chosen after liver ran out, and a starter of halloumi sticks drew a note that each stick felt expensive. Complaints centre on kitchen execution and portions. One diner describes a long wait while later arrivals were served first, then food that looked like it had sat under a heat lamp and chips buried in peri salt. Another found the macho peas undercooked and the chips needing more time, and a Deliveroo order arrived with portions called shocking, down to two forkfuls of chips. Reviewers also mention plenty of seating inside and outside, and that the restaurant is dog friendly. One couple who waited for a table were given a free dessert, and another reviewer says staff brought water for their pet without being asked.

“Put in our order, person (Owen the manager) comes over to tell me no liver available 😫...and I was so looking forward to it. Picked a burger as alternative which was very nice and Owen sorted it all out. Thanks and big thumbs up to Owen.”

“Was told it was safe to eat this by the “manager “ who I actually watched cook it because we paid for 5 not 3 so she cooked the other 2 in under 2 minutes. She wasn’t a chef she was the manager .. absolutely fuming ain’t the word”
