September 2024I was a little worried that the reviews I’d read about this place would be true for our visit, my friend booked the bottomless brunch as a birthday treat for me and we were not disappointed. The food was yummy, sausages on the burrito a little burnt but still delicious, steak was incredible, the special cocktail was delicious, the only thing that wasn’t great were the pancakes were a little bland and could’ve been fluffier but I’m just being picky now. The waitresses and waiters were brilliant the service was fast, we had 4 drinks within the first 40 minutes of being there and definitely had at least 13 rounds. The staff kept coming over and asking if we would like to order another drink I’d definitely go back. They were also really accommodating to my preference of no eggs I don’t have an allergy I just can’t eat them and they were happy enough to make sure they weren’t served on the plate. Can’t fault them really was a great experience.

September 2024👍 50% off food offer on Monday is wonderful (need to book in advance)/cocktails are very nice, "happy hour" makes it even better/ staff very friendly 👎the small dining area gets quite smokey due to the kitchen extractor fan is near/ beef quality in the cheesesteak we ordered was not good, very gristly/ a bit mouldy on the brioche bread.
