A lovely cosy place with a good atmosphere and a mixture of age groups. Friendly staff and the food was amazing especially 100% Gluten free..fabulous as i am celiac. Food was tasty and vibrant and a good red wine to finish. Great company in a great place.

I went along with 4 friends to do a bottomless brunch on a Saturday afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the service was. We had "spiked Pimms" on the table on arrival and our 1st drinks order was taken straight away. The menu was explained, and although there were a couple of items unavailable there was still a great selection of small places and tacos to choose from. For the whole 2 hours, we were not without a drink, and even when our allocated time was up we were not hurried out of there. One round took a little bit longer to arrive (due to freshly grinding coffee for espresso martinis) but as we still had drinks we hadn't noticed until we were kindly brought a tray of complimentary shots. Again, can't fault the service.... Definitely be returning again!

Very enjoyable food with lots of flavours. The heat was just right and the portion size was perfect. Atmosphere was quite but it was a tuesday night. The only thing we didn't like was the smell coming from the toilets but luckily it came after we'd eaten Service was impeccable

A great vibe, good drinks and good range of food to choose from. Jess was really helpful letting us know what would be more spicy and what combinations to order. Really good as we had a GF vegan and she actually had choice for what she could eat!

Disappointing. Food very average, chips so greasy the oil was in a pool at the bottom of the dish, meat bland. No atmosphere at all and very cold. Toilets filthy despite just opening for lunch. Shame as we were looking forward to this for ages, the food looked nothing like on the social media pages

The restaurant is in a lovely setting and decor is cute for light bites and cocktails. The service was incredibly slow though and it wasn't during a busy period so no excuses really. Food was average and lukewarm. The messy fries were a disappointment and definitely not worth the money that we paid for them. Cocktails were lovely. Very underwhelmed by the experience.

The service was brilliant couldn’t fault it. Young waitress who looked after us was so polite and friendly, we didn’t understand what something on the menu was so she went away and researched to find out :) drinks were lovely too, the food was ok, I wouldn’t rave about it but it was alright… it was a lovely evening though :)

Terrible experience, most the food was lukewarm. Some chicken bits were cold when bitten into, we asked for them to be taken away and they were returned to us having been reheated as the bite mark was still there! I did email in regards to this but no response. I wouldn’t go back and I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
