I’ll give it 3 stars since it’s not that bad a place, cheap drinks so I can’t complain about that. Fairly nice place too, good atmosphere, staff are usually pretty decent. However the two times I’ve gone to eat there haven’t been the best. The first time I went to eat there with some friends, the first time the oinion rings were a bit too raw and the server didn’t give any of us any cutlery, let alone sauces, didn’t ask either, we waited a few minutes thinking maybe they’d come back but they never did so we then had to go to the bar to ask for cutlery. The second time I went which was today, two of us had the buttermilk chicken burger and I had a side of halloumi fries. We both found frozen chips , solid , frozen chips in our meals. My burger was fairly nice, although I’ve noticed they don’t put much salad on them which isn’t that big of a deal in terms of a review. The chicken fillet was really nice though i’ll give them that. My halloumi fries were warm, barely heated and were extremely chewy, which in my experience shouldn’t be the case. This time we did get cutlery though !! We were still not offered any condiments and I’ve noticed they don’t do check backs with any of the customers, again not a big deal but I think check backs show customer care. All in all it’s a decent place but I don’t recommend going there If your main...

Don't ever dear speak with other people at the queue so you will not be allowed inside!!!

I understand that for coronavirus the restaurant needs to limit the quantity of people allowing inside. But this was absurd. By coincidence, we met some people I knew at the entrance and we had an small chat with them less than 5 minutes. Because of that, we weren't allowed neither me and my partner or the other group to get inside. Even tho the other group had started to order some food while waiting.

The security ward was joking when I asked to speak with a manager and I needed to request the manager presence several times before he went to call him, he security ward was almost laughing at the end.

Even when I spoke with the manager and told him that we have nothing to do with the other people, he doesn't allowed us to enter the restaurant.

I've been here and other waterspoons before and never had got a treatement like this one. Horrible. I won't recommend to come here to anyone and I would definitely...
