Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the food arriving quickly and tasting good, with the British chicken wings shared with dips, a creamy mushroom risotto, and a sweet potato, chickpea and spinach curry from the large vegan and vegetarian menu all named, and one reviewer calling the chicken Alfredo pasta delicious. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, chatty and welcoming, with one server praised for clearing the floor and serving everyone single handed on a busy morning. Others like the beer and ale choice, the coffee, the wooden wall around the large bar, and the long building with plenty of tables, and a few call it well priced, if a bit rough around the edges. The complaints centre on service and kitchen errors. One reviewer says an app order arrived with items missing and they had to keep asking, another says a first visit showed the place lacking staff, and one reports an overcooked pizza sent back, then a replacement that was undercooked and left them ill. That diner still thanked a staff member for helping. One reviewer shared that her sister, taken poorly, had food brought straight away.

“Food was nice, staff were great and service was good too.”

“Sunday lunchtime visit. In the area for an event at nearby Queenborough, so I thought I'd pop in here for a change, as only been here a couple of times since it opened. Nice building, plenty of light and space. Certainly a good place for the locals. All good.☑️👍🇬🇧😎”

- Penny Roberts
“Excellent service, especially from Martina, she was very, happy, friendly, smiling, very hard working lady. My sister got taken poorly and needed her food straight away, although they were exceptionally busy, she went and above helping her, bringing some food and making sure my sister was feeling better. Definitely be back. WELL DONE MARTINA xxxx”
