Customer Review Summary

Bottomless brunch draws the most attention, with reviewers repeatedly praising the flow of drinks and servers who kept rounds coming, and one themed rum cocktail singled out as a highlight. A cocktail making hen do also earns strong praise for keeping the experience unrushed with games and photo time built in. Beyond brunch, drinks and beer selection get mentioned as solid, and one visitor called out that drinks weren't drastically watered down for the price. The atmosphere splits opinion: several describe it as fun with loud music, though one group found it too loud at a Saturday sitting. Food quality is inconsistent. While some call it lovely, one reviewer describes an eggs Benedict with flabby bacon, hard "poached" eggs, and burnt muffins, plus repeated missed drink orders and no staff check-in, ending in a request for a discount that went unresolved. Another reports afternoon tea with hard bread and bad-smelling scone cream, compensated only with extra tea.
