  “Visited here again today while in the area. We have been here many times previously and always had great food and a good experience. Today however didn’t feel the same. After a long wait for a table (not an issue as we didn’t book) we were given a table and drink order taken. It was another 10 mins until we could get someone’s attention to take our food order. We had a pizza and Arriabata pasta. Both were nice. I ordered another drink when our food came and they only brought it over once we had finished eating. By this point we were ready to go. The main issue we had here today was the noise. The music was very loud and not really the sort of music you’d expect. Was more like a rave! We will still come again but hope they can address this issues in the future.”

  “5 of us went here for something to eat after work. We all got the potato skins for starters, 3 of us went for pizzas for mains and the other 2 went for lasagne, all of us polished it all off and had ice cream for desert. Staff were friendly and professional. Recommend anyone eating here as the food is great and it's really good value.”

  “I find the service very lacking in here. You walk in and I lost count at how many staff walk past you without acknowledging you’re there. Not even a hello, or someone will be with you soon. They just walk past you over and over like you’re invisible. When the man eventually sat us down his manner wasn’t great either and the young blonde girl that took our order was also very rude and blunt. Didn’t see her crack a smile once. But anyways we ordered carvery’s. The meat we all had was dry and tough and more like jerky. I think we had just been giving the edge of the joint rather than the meat inside so the gammon was pretty much inedible. The veg was ok, but found staff just wanted you to finish quickly and leave. We Get the feeling it’s just about high turnover, get people in and out for maximum profit than actually caring about the customers experience.”

  “Visited with friends very reasonably priced as had the 3 course lunch menu. Food was hot and tasty large menu to choose from. Only negative the seats are worn and ripped on some of the chairs however did not detract from the meal.”

  “Booked a table for 10, queues were out of the door when we arrived but we were seated straight away. After a good look at the menu, we ordered. Food took a while to arrive, but everybody was happy with there meal. I did not realise how busy this place was, constant flow of customer's which unfortunately impacted on the service, which was slow due to this. We felt sorry for the staff tbh, totally rushed off there feet. Our waitress was very nice and always had a smile on her face 😀 Definitely recommend booking a table especially on a Sunday as they do a carvery. The cheesecake was amazing 👏”

  “Went back a few weeks after the first visit and had the Sambuca cheese burger. The food was consistent and the burger was really tasty. Pricing very reasonable too so what is there not to like. The staff are really hard working too and never seem to stop. All round great place for decent well priced food.”

  “Always have a nice meal here, staff are so lovely. Can be a bit loud when it is busy but atmosphere generally great. Images - starters were deep fried mozzarella with Napoli sauce. Mains - Chicken Kiev pizza and bolognese pasta.”

  “Nice place and very friendly staff. The 3-course lunch special for £8.95 was good value, with soup/potato skins followed by any pizza or pasta and either coffee or ice cream for dessert. Another dessert option would have been good. Kids was 2 courses for £5.95, so no starter but the pizza was large. Worth a visit.”
