Communication wasn't great regarding the bottomless brunch. Normally you get a host at the beginning who comes over and tells you how everything works and there is normally menu with the foods. We had dietary restrictions and we had no idea if they had been catered for or not as we received no reply to the email we had sent and it wasn't until staff started bringing the food out that we were told. There were 2 guys at the bar one with a beard, he was super rude and numerous times just completely ignored patrons at the bar- didnt acknowledge them and just let them wait until the other guy walked back into the bar. Food was good, location good just shame about communication and service. Worth noting there was a drinks menu it just didnt tell you what foods you were getting and if they were coming out all at once or what
