I’ll start off by saying I don’t post many/if any 1* reviews, however, it’s fully deserved. Popped in here on the way passed as it looked a good spot and the food looked good from what we could see.
It took a good 10mins before I had to flag a young guy down to take a drinks order, it took another 20mins to actually get the drinks (2x Cokes).

Read moreService when arrived was great then another waitress took over and served us made us feel uncomfortable, took order messed order 3 times, waitress was clearly overwhelmed but restaurant was very quiet, asked for beef they gave me pork and tried to tell me it was beef when it definitely was not, partners pork was very raw to the point he was put off the meal, food all came at different times which meant kids ate first then partner then I was waiting on them remaking food which meant my sides were freezing when asked for a fresh sauce we got a bad attitude, ordered large drink gave me a small but tried to charge for large, very disappointed in this service.
