   Saw nothing but good reviews so we booked for a meal. Only one other table in the restaurant so it was quite. But waitress was sorting cutlery for a while so it was quite noisy. Not the best background noise. I liked the table lamp that you change to signal to a waiter/waitress you wanted service. Main meal was slightly dissatisfying. We ordered the sharing ribs and chicken tenders, with Mac&cheese, onion rings and chips. Best thing on the plate was the chips. The skin on the back of the ribs hadn’t been removed which made it difficult to cut. Nice flavour tho. The chicken tenders were questionable. They had a taste of shrimp to me, but my husband & I couldn’t eat them. Something wasn’t quite right. Onion rings were quite oily. Mac and cheese was good. Before we left sick actually came up in my mouth. I had higher expectations for this restaurant and does have a lot of potential. Unfortunately we won’t be returning.

   The meals were lukewarm, took a while the food to come out. The ' lights' were a good idea to get service. But when it came to settle the bill it took a little while for someone to come to the table.

   Service was very bad- slow and got multiple orders wrong. Food was lovely but chips were cold and was a very long wait between ordering and receiving the meal despite it not being very busy. Drinks were extremely expensive and a service charge was automatically added to the bill despite not being very good

   Okay experience, food took a long time to come out and when it did we only received 2 of the 3 meals ordered and they didn't stick around long enough to ask for condiments. We had nearly finished our meals by the time one of the staff noticed we were missing the 3rd meal. Had to ask for condiments twice. Food was nice however and it's a funky place, but nothing overly exciting that would entice me back.

   Very expensive for what is average food. Burgers were plain. Beef rib was a tiny serving and kids meals were not nice. £200 paid for a family of 5. London prices for a pub meal. I wouldn’t come here again.

   The meal was barely warm, for a sharing platter there wasn’t much, the chicken was cooked far too much , the chips were not nice or the ribs overall the meal was very poor

   Beautiful meal, we had the farmyard feast for two but shared it between 3 of us, with extra mash and halloumi, more than enough food. Lovely cocktails and great service.

    Food was very fresh and big on flavour with a very good selection of different types of food. Staff were very helpful and quick to serve although they didn’t come across friendly but they weren’t rude either.
