I wouldn’t even give this place one star, but don’t have an option for any less. The attitude of the staff left a lot to be desired, apart from the young lad he was pleasant, as for I presume the Landlord and female staff, it’s the worst I have experienced. The food wasn’t great, simple fried eggs came out black and inedible. When I asked what was in Vegetable Lasagne as I can’t have certain vegetables, he replied sarcastically Vegetables!
