Food was alright. Very different to my first visit. You clearly have a fly problem. That needs to be dealt with. They were everywhere inside. Service was good but could be improved. Service evidently changed when we didn’t leave a tip. The order got taken twice. Then the order came out wrong. It’s got a bit of scrubbing up to do. No background music so the ambience was dead.

The food was fantastic and lots of it, we all ordered burgers and sides and didn’t manage to finish everything. They had run out of a few things but enough choice to find something else. Same with the drinks, however they are in the process of changing the menu over so can be forgiven. Would definitely go back again.

I’m coeliac, but everything is catered for, I had the Swiss Tony with a gluten free bun and no crispy onions, it was delicious with a side order of handcuts, I couldn’t eat it all, I was so full.
