Was really impressed with our experience, we were running a little bit late due to road works but phoned up and they were so lovely and made sure our table would be okay, once we got in the communication about allergies was good and we were provided the separate allergen to keep us right, the food came out so quickly and was incredible, the portion sizes for the price is unbelievable, and the staff were constantly checking up on us. Overall a really good experience and I plan on returning soon

Perfect for a pre gig meal. Bloody brilliant service and the food came really quick. Will definitely go back as I want to try just about everything else on the menu and take a good stab at their reasonably priced cocktail menu. To have it all accompanied by a soundtrack of KISS, Mötley Crue and Led Zep made it the best Monday tea I think I've ever had!
