    Lovely Sunday Bottomless Brunch, could not fault our visit today. Decor and atmosphere were comfortable. Cocktails were very well made - layers of delicious flavours and really moreish. The food was also great, fresh & tasty (we had a burger & goats cheese salad) with the added bonus of being prepared by a singing chef! Service by Talitha (lovely blue hair) was fab. She was genuine, friendly, knowledgeable and we never felt rushed - we were more than happy to pay the added service charge. The Bottomless Brunch was a thoroughly pleasant experience and overall great value for money. Would highly recommend. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

    Fantastic spot for bottomless brunch. Wen first thing on a Saturday (guilty as charged) and had the place to ourselves. Cocktails were great and served promptly, they don’t mess about. Chicken club sandwich was awesome, Veggie burger was highly rated, and on the chef’s suggestion I had the shakshouka which was heaven paired with a Bloody Mary! All decent portion sizes. Great decor inside, and would look even better at night imo. Give it a shot!!

    We had a group dinner here for work. The food was nicely prepared, tasted fresh, and it was good. The service during the dinner was great at times, but then other times it was slow. We had ordered one last round of drinks, but it took around 20 minutes to get a few pints of beer, and by the time they arrived we were ready to leave for the evening. I get there are blips in service, that's why I would come back and try it again.

    A nice place to chill with friends, or to go on a date. Ambiance is rustic and cute. The cocktails are amazing and food is good. A bit pricey but it's worth the price, specially when there's live music.

    Was hyped by the reviews and pictures on the google, but wasn't happy with Food and service to be honest. Ambience is good but not great. Would recommend for a trial may be you might like it for the ambience.
