First of all it took half an hour to be served when there was only 5 people in front of me. On the allergens it said chips are gluten free although potentially fried in the same oil as gluten, so I asked and I was told the chips have their own fryer although the same brand of oil is used (WHAT?)

Even at quiet periods, the tables are littered with food and rubbish, and sometimes other extras...
