Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the service, describing staff as polite, friendly and lovely, with waiters who looked after a party of nine and a birthday diner who got a free shot. Food draws close behind: the lamb skewers, tacos with beef, peppers and mushrooms whose shells stayed crunchy, the early bird three course menu and a chocolate fudge cake are all singled out, along with large portions and reasonable prices. One family praises the breakfast, including a children's option and willingness to change items around, and notes the bright, tasteful new decor after the refurbishment. Several describe the atmosphere as warm and special for celebrations. The complaints are small but specific. One reviewer says the food has been very average on each visit despite great service, and another found no dairy alternatives for coffee or tea and no spread for toast other than butter. One visitor from London says the lamb skewers and a free birthday shot were the highlight of the meal.

“Good quality food and service. Dairy free options could be improved as there were no dairy alternatives for my coffee/tea and no spread for toast other than normal butter.”

“Me and my son travelled from London, we had spent the weekend in Manchester, we had our evening meal here and it was 20/10, food was delicious, I had the lamb skewers, my son only had chips because he hadn't long eaten before we decided to go for food, and he had a chocolate fudge cake, If we are up that way again we would definitely eat here again”
