Food is tasty. We ordered and it took 45mins for it to come. After we had finished no one asked if we wanted anything else or visited near our table for us to be able to get the bill.

Brilliant food and service!

Absolutely delicious vegetarian options, the tastiest burger I ever had! The food definitely took long to come though, although we had a starter it still took more than half an hour I’d say. Cheese balls were also incredible. I think they are definitely worth the price, and worth the wait. I booked a table for my boyfriend’s birthday and put a note saying I’d appreciate a small nice gesture🤣 I was hoping maybe they could write happy birthday on his plate with ketchup or something but maybe I was asking for too much haha regardless a nice experience

Portions huge…avoid the Nashville Stack!

Visited yesterday and was so impressed with most of the food, the portions were enormous. The Nashville Stack however was inedible due to an absolute insane salt content. First time ever I’ve had to send food back. It wasn’t a massive issue other than the staff dismissing it as a ‘salty dish’. I encouraged them to try the untouched chicken strip to demonstrate that there was a massive issue. Meal was rightly removed from the bill, not so much as a free drink to help replenish my ailing hydration levels due to salt poisoning 😂 won’t return unfortunately.

Really nice burgers!
