A group of 12 of us booked a table for cocktails and we had a lovely time. The cocktails were lovely and the service was great. We will definitely be back to try the food.

There was 7 of us for birthday celebrations for myself and my partner. We did the bottomless brunch. The excuse of we are over booked so that’s why we are delayed with serving wasn’t what you want to hear. Every drink we had even though we had the same drinks, everyone was different in taste and flavour, they weren’t enjoyable. Then upon receiving the bill trying to add on an extra £30 saying we upgraded our cocktails when we didn’t and having to have the manager come over and remove it. The food as well, two tacos, which weren’t very nice can I add, we have had a better service elsewhere for a bottomless brunch and get more for less money. Unfortunately we will not be returning.

A lovely venue with excellent value for money. Charlotte was an attentive server and we all had a nice time. The only negative was the size of the tacos but we all enjoyed ourselves.

We found the service extremely slow, we waited about 20-25 mins for a pint & a glass of wine. I would understand if we had ordered cocktails. The food was not great either, there was no flavour on the chicken wings, coleslaw was very random, beef loaded fries were nice but all basic frozen food that was served lukewarm nothing special at all. Very disappointing indeed.

Good food and great service, Unfortunately the restaurant was not busy so it lacked atmosphere and the air conditioning made the restaurant cold which also caused our food to be cold

Group of 10 for bottomless brunch. Service was excellent, very attentive staff and the drinks were excellent. The only very small negative was the portion sizes of the tacos were very small . We needed to order extra food to fill us up which ended up costing quite a bit more .

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
