We came here spontaneously one evening — quite late, just before closing — and what an amazing surprise it turned out to be! Despite the time, the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and made us feel genuinely cared for.
The service was flawless — warm, polite, and full of small thoughtful touches. You could tell they were doing their very best, even at the end of a long shift, and it honestly meant so much.

Decent cocktail at the beginning, great...

We had three Pizzas 1 a gluten free pasta that looked like the plainest thing on earth . A bottle of house Rose and two beers £138 inc service charge of 15%. i feel violated that i have been ripped off to be honest- not only that but when i mentioned that i wasn't happy with what we got and the sky high service charge , we were cussed by one or two of the staff from the back of the restaurant.
