    There was lots of unavailable items! No Guinness, very limited lager, no fillet steak, no chocolate desert . The food we received was good and staff were helpful. One of our party is allergic to tomato and ordered a rib eye without the tomato, it came with the tomato on.

    Food and drinks were all good but unfortunately due to better no short staffed the service was not great. Staff were very apologetic and were trying their best but there just wasn’t enough of them on a busy Saturday night. Nice ambience about the place though and would still recommend it.

    Awful experience there! we went for a meal and cocktails, whilst waiting for others of our table to come we ordered cocktails 2/3 cocktails we ordered were incorrectly made. We all had gotten a drink then we had finished them piled our glasses up at the end of the table to show we were finished and wanted more and no one came to us. So one of us let the bar know we were wanting more drinks. Our food came quite quickly but about 10 minutes between the first person to get an our food and the last. we ordered one of the small plates the asian chicken and the chicken was cold so we sent it back for a new one and the new one came out about 5 minutes later and when we went to eat it, it was pink and slimy clearly not cooked properly. We had also got a steak pie and it was look warm when it came out but we couldn’t be bothered waiting anymore. They looked under staffed when going to a restaurant we shouldn’t have to go to the bar to order drink and we expected properly cooked food especially chicken. I made a complaint to staff and we got a round of drinks taken off and the chicken. Wont be going back. But when speaking to the manager she look at me as if i had no idea what i was talking about and didn’t look at all upset over this just smiled at me, i felt like this was because we were a table of young girls
