    We sat outdoors in the middle undercover section as it was a beautiful sunny day but windy and we were perfectly sheltered yet still able to enjoy the rays. Perfect for Sunday lunch and catch up, old school tunes were fab but not too noisy. The staff member/bar tender who served us couldn't have been more helpful (sorry I don't know your name! You were there 20th September).

    Pretty nice place for a pizza or pasta. Pizza was tasty but a bit small for the price. Pasta was fine. Music was good. Seems more fun out the back.

    I meet a group of friends regularly & it usually falls on pasta night (they love pasta). I don't eat pizza or pasta so it's great that you still have the pork main available!

    Pizza was amazing, service was great. A little loud in there as it got busier, but well worth a visit!
