Had a fantastic family meal, 2 adults, 2 children. Ordered a couple of pizzas and small plates, though the quality of food was top notch. We were well looked after by the staff. Warm, friendly atmosphere, and loved the decor of the place. V cool. Will return.

From arriving to leaving our experience was fantastic. Food lovely, drink fantastic, waiting staff attentive. We had our food and the staff then came to say they had reserved us seats in the bar where we continued to have a few drinks relaxed and chatted. Lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon coming up to Christmas.
