We probably didn’t pick the right day to stop off here for lunch, since the staff admitted that they were short that day, and it showed. Most of the empty tables were dirty or had empty plates / glasses on, and there was a sense of disorder about the place. Despite that we remained and found one of the nice round booth tables in the centre. Upon ordering food at the bar we were advised that there’d be an hour’s wait, but in reality it turned up around fifteen to twenty minutes later.

Unfortunately the quality of what was served wasn’t great. It was nice to take advantage of their midweek offer on main meals but the scampi was overcooked and dry. Portion sizes weren’t the best either, but part of me wonders whether that was because of the deal, rather than normal practice.

Clearly one of the selling points is the good location, paired with a chain that you know what to expect. Given the situation the staff were under, I’d give it another go, but hopefully it isn’t the norm since there’s plenty of other choices in the area which appeared to be equally as popular.
