Great food, excellent service, and good music. A little expensive and a shame they didn't take cash (unless you had the right change), but otherwise a fantastic afternoon.

Lovely staff, nice ambience. The burgers were great, the sides were tasty, only let-down was the ribs which had great texture but were badly oversalted

We had such a fantastic experience celebrating my wife’s 30th birthday! The staff really went the extra mile, even putting up a happy birthday banner, which was such a lovely personal touch. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly. I also had a great chat with the head chef, who remembered me from our previous visit, which was really nice. The fireworks were fantastic, and when we got back, our dessert was ready and waiting for us. Everything was just spot on from start to finish. The food itself was absolutely outstanding – easily a 10/10. Overall, probably one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. A huge thank you to the whole team for making the evening so special. We’ll definitely be back!

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We loved the concept and staff were very attentive. Food was amazing too and great value for money. We attended on a Wednesday evening, so not as busy, but would be a great vibe on weekends I reckon.
