January 2025Came here for a festive bottomless brunch. The menu for the brunch was really good (although not too different from the standard menu). They were really quick and prompt with the orders and even taking the odd cheeky request to double or triple park on the drinks! The food was amazing too! Maybe took a bit of time to come out but that definitely helped with the pacing of the drinks within the 90mins. Overall a great place to come for bottomless brunch and an overall lovely place to come with friends and family for food!

February 2025We reserved a table in the restaurant for a valentines meal. We were seated quickly and had amazing service all night, thank you Deborah! The food was lovely, we had starter main and desert, and we felt it was reasonably priced for what we got. We were even given a red rose with the receipt that I thought was a lovely extra touch.

December 2024This is the 1st time I have used this place, and it will be the last time as well, I paid £10.50 for a full English breakfast, and the portion size was minimal. (Please see the photo) The beans were cold, as was the bacon, the sourdough toast wasn't toasted, I could not recommend this place for a breakfast meal, unless you are really desperate
