Fabulous food and service for our table of 7. Royal baby chicken was delicious and big enough for 2. Only area for improvement would be that it was noisy - some soft furnishings or noise defenders on the walls would really help.

Fantastic meal

After changing our booking 4 times due to my partner breaking down and waiting for a courtesy car we finally arrived at 8pm. Restaurant was packed but service was brilliant and fast. Also the food was amazing! My partner had the mixed kebab and I had the sea bass. He's quite a fussy eater and he also loved the food. Thankyou so much for accommodating us. We will be back soon x
